I have to wonder if you even went to a vet to have this problem looked into.
I think it is terrible you think this cat is disposable. I hope this cat
gets a good home because you obviously care more about your property (which
can be cleaned or replaced) than this cat. Why is it that people like
yourself treat this cat like a beer can? This is a life we are talking
about. Would you get rid of a human child if they had a medical issue?
Though some might applaud that you are wanting to see this cat in a good
home, I have to wonder if you'll get another cat that you'll end up dumping
into a shelter or on the street because you chose not to handle your
lifelong responsibility. This cat deserves better and I hope she gets a good
and loving home because obviously her humans do not care enough to give her
the very best care. If you decide to keep her then a vet can possibly find
the problem if it is medical. It might be easily solved or it may be stress
that is causing it.

We have a Tonkinese female, about 6 years old, that we absolutely must get
out of the house. We want her to have a good home, but the Tonkinese

rescue
group has not been responsive, despite repeated efforts for their help.

The
cat must go. She urinates huge amounts of urine periodically, so she must
be confined where she can not destroy property. She is housed in a room

and
gets attention, but she can not be a member of this household. The vet

says
she is healthy. This last time, the cat jumped on our bed like she always
does, ambled over to us as my wife and I lay under the covers, and as she
walked across the bed, unloaded a 2 foot long mass of urine, spreading to
half a foot wide, and in a manner of minutes, soaked through a comforter,
electric blanket, two sheets, and partially into a brand new mattress.
Luckily, I saved the mattress. The cat will do these kinds of things,
within 10 feet of perfectly clean cat box. She will do it if people are
home or not. We can not establish any pattern. Typically happens once
every few weeks.

We have made the decision to relinquish ownership. She has papers. I

just
want to make sure she has a good home, that can deal with her unusual
behaviors. The cat is otherwise just fine, affectionate, playful (loves
chasing laser pointer dot, keeping away from eyes), eats well, etc.. Has
all claws, but is spayed. Tolerates our 13 year old, laid back Dalmatian,
but the cat is more fearful of her than she needs to be. The dog could

care
less about the cat.

If anyone can direct me to someone who can help with rescue, I would
appreciate it. We live in the San Francisco bay area.

Thanks,

- Phil
