How big a role does your pet play in your big decisions?

[TheAntiPam]

I'm apartment hunting - and so many newspaper ads don't mention pets. So, that is the first question when I call about a place. And 90% of the time, the answer is NO PETS, so that ends the call.

Even though it is difficult to find a nice place that allows pets, I can't conceive of people that leave their pets behind when they move. Where I go, my cats go. Period.
