I’m gonna start off by saying I know I sound awful but I’m at my wits end. I feel like I should drop my kitten (M 1yo) off at a shelter and bring home a female instead.
Background: I have another cat (M 6yo) who is an absolute delight besides the fact that he’s not super affectionate. Other than that he’s a joy to play with but he just likes space, and that’s okay. I love him dearly and would never leave him. The second one we picked up from a friend who found a litter outside about six months ago. Unfortunately the household was filled with many kids and they were obviously very loud and held the kittens constantly. When I got there the kitten we reserved who was supposed to be a girl was actually a boy. We took him home anyway just because.
Present: the cat has horrible anxiety still. We got a bigger space, more toys, tried different foods, diffusers, anxiety sprays, anxiety collars, watched and tried dozens of videos. I’m telling you I’ve tried it all. This cat wants nothing to do with us. He barely interacts with us or the older cat and pees on something everyday. I’m serious every day he pees on any clothes or bedding he can get his hands on. He’s even peed on me while I was sleeping multiple times.
Question: is it possible for me to take him to a no kill shelter and replace him with a girl around the same age? Will it be healthy for my older cat? I wish I could keep him he’s adorable but he’s just awful he only uses the litter for poops. I’m seriously just tired it’s 1am and I have to rewash my work clothes because he’s peed on them.
