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?
Your lease says you can have one cat - you already have one cat. Unless you're mentally and financially prepared to potentially find a new place to live in short order, I would recommend against violating your lease terms. Or at the very least ask your landlord first.
