I liked their energy, but my rental lease says I can only have one cat. Should I ask my landlord (who I have a good relationship with and a really good deal on rent), just get one of the cats without telling her, or not get one? If I should get one, which one?
If you can have a cat, get both. If your landlord doesn't visit often, just say you're cat-sitting. If you get caught a second time, say it's temporary while your friend is out of town on business. If it happens a 3rd time, say the owner won't take it back and you're trying to find it a forever home...
Keep your place super clean, make sure there's no litter smell. Eventually, landlord will realize 2 is not so bad.
