This doesn't seem to be the situation at all here. The cat has a real
problem and the owners were not equipped to handle it. It was making
everyone involved miserable.

I don't see it any differently than what they say about children
living with very unhappy parents. You are better to divorce and have
someone move out thant try to stay together. Everyone including the
children are better off.

The cat is probably happier living with a happy family.

If I recall the story correctly the breeder knew the cat had a problem with
urinating out of the box before adopting it out to the OP. I don't recall it
ever being established why the cat was doing this but I remember some
speculation that perhaps the cat had been bred to many times and had bladder
problems. If so I'm not sure weather it's something that can be corrected or
not. I also seem to recall that the OP had already tried the usual methods
of dealing with a behavioral problem to no avail. I can't blame the OP for
returning the cat to the breeder. I know I wouldn't want to live with a cat
who was peeing all over the place with no solution in sight. IMO the breeder
was unethical adopting out this cat with an existing problem of this nature.
