Well, I've resigned and given up hope of having a cat. I talked to the owner of my condo (after fighting with management to get her phone number) and she said it would be no problem on her end. I then talked to management, and told them what she said, and that she would write a letter if necessary, but they said they'd take me to court if I got a cat, permission from the owner or not!

I talked to the owner (Molly) about this and she said she'd talked to them, and they pointed out to her that she signed some thing agreeing to the rules of the condo association. Some garbage if you ask me.

During my phone calls it came to my attention that they recently found three rentors in violation of this, and they were all charged $500 plus rent for the remaining months of the lease, AND KICKED OUT! They were given three days to pay up and move. One girl couldn't afford it, and they are suing her now. I think this is disgusting, as tenants are more likely to do costly damage to the apartments than a CAT! I can't even tell you how upset I am. There are no words strong enough. I hope whoever makes these stupid rules lives a loveless and joyless life.

Sorry to rant, but I had to vent somewhere, and better here than in the management's office, right?
