Well, I did think about taking off the young children, by young children, I meant under 4 years old. But I know when I was little, I LOVED cats, but I also drove them crazy.
And the military, I also thought about just requesting proof that in the event of a deployment, they would bring the pets with them. The vets should have proof, along with airline reciepts.
Thank you all for the suggestions. I think I might try posting once more, jsut in case.
