You bring up a good point. The cat being declawed could be a possibility.

The reality is that nobody is going to take your cat, and if a shelter
does she will be KILLED because she has a behavior problem.
Talk to your vet about putting the cat on Prozac. It is the most
effective medication for treating innapropriate urination issues in
cats. It does take some time for it to reach full effect, but it does
work. I have an incorrigible pee-er that has stopped now that she is on
Prozac. It's likely that the behavior your cat is exhibiting is a result
of her being declawed. This is a common occurrence and happens in
approximately 1/3 of cats that undergo this procedure. Please take some
time to look at the link in my sig and educate yourself about declawing
so you understand what a cruel and unnecessary procedure it is, and the
serious behavior problems it can cause. There are many cats that have
suffered losing their home as a result of being declawed and most of
them are killed at the shelter they are surrendered to. Your cat is not
at fault for her behavior, and it's likely that the problem can be
corrected with the use of medication and attention and modification of
her environment, stressors, etc. You wouldn't dump your daughter at a
shelter if she started acting up, but you would work on finding a way to
deal with whatever issues presented themselves. Your cat deserves the
same compassion.

"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one
elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and
material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his
way."

- W.H. Murray
