DNova - Sorry about all this terrible trouble about one little ole cat - doesn't make much sense when overall children are a lot more destructive than cats - and some x boy friends and girl friends are much more destructive - holes in walls, filth etc. I live in a PUD (Public Urban Development) and have a condo - however I'm not a renter, I'm a homeowner and we have CC&R's that we have to abide by (CC & R's are rules and regulations). In these CC&R's is a clause that specifically states that we cannot have more than one pet or any pet over 35 lbs. I have 4 cats. No possible way that I would ever, ever get rid of 3 of them - they're indoors and I'm responsible for everything that goes on indoors. But I doubt I'd ever have any trouble with the Homeowners Association unless someone made a complaint - then I would have to face circumstances similar to yours - that would not be fun!!!!
