That must be rough. I am glad we're finally getting our own house and not renting anymore, so in the event that we do get more cats or a dog, it isn't anyone's business but our own.

As it is, our Claudia is "staying with us" if anyone asks - we're saying it's b/c of Mom's allergies. We got a 3rd cat with our landlady's permission, and she's been soooo great, but we didn't want to push it, so we never really mentioned Miss Claudia. We'll be out soon anyway, so it won't much matter. Claudia has definitely not been detrimental to the house, so it works out. If the house is being shown to new potential renters while we're still living here, all the cats will be coming with us for a car ride, anyway. The Cat Rescue signs on the door say 4 b/c of Claudia "staying with us".

It's weird how you have to get around these things. In our apt when we lived in Louisiana, we didn't really address the whole 2nd cat issue when we got Leila, b/c that was 2 months before we were moving anyway. What we cat lovers don't do for our little balls of fur!
