Serious question…

I just had to move out of my apartment where I was allowed to have cats but only 2 and had to pay $40 for each. Now I know I’m bad I didn’t tell them I had 4. But I guess I didn’t think this all the way through when I kept getting cats and now I’m up to 4. How am I going to find a place that’s going to let me bring 4 cats without being deceitful and lying about how many I have. Now I can say all day long I have the best cats, they don’t fuck shit up, ruin furniture or walls or ever go to the bathroom outside their box and never fight and are loud. Now saying all this who wouldn’t tell a potential landlord all this right? I’m just kinda stuck right now. I’m living with my sister in law who owns her condo so staying here is always an option but if I wanted my own apartment does anyone have an suggestions or gone through this with more than 2 cats. And getting rid of them is NOT an option no never ever not at all won’t even entertain the thought, don’t even type it! Thanks 😻

Idk what you’re talking about. Looks like you only have 2 cats to me!

This may be unpopular with some people but when I rented I had 4 cats: 3 voids and a tuxie. Told mgmt co I only had - 1 void and 1 tuxie, so if they were lounging on the window sill and visible to the outside world - nobody would know who’s who. Getting rid of mine wasn’t an option either and they rarely sat more than 2 at a time in a single window anyway. Had 5 no problem years there before I bought my townhouse. Luckily yours are almost a carbon copy of each other. ❤️🐈‍⬛❤️🐈‍⬛❤️

That’s what I did as well. Now I have 2 tuxies, 2 voids, and tabby who will probably be a foster fail. If that happens I may have to say I have 3 cats and then get another tabby out of spite

Yeah, on paper we have two cats but that’s…. very not true. A few of them look similar enough (and all but one run from strangers) that we haven’t yet had an issue. Just hide the extra litter boxes if they need to come over for anything!

I may or may not have only claimed 1 cat when I lived in an apartment complex because I knew an outsider wouldn't be able to tell the difference between my 2 torties.

Brilliant

I heard Shirley Jackson would get another gray cat every time her husband went out of town and he never knew how many there were. I live alone now, and I have a tuxedo, but I aspire to this energy!!

There is no such thing as enough tuxedos. The deficit must be filled.

Agreed! Give your new landlord the old Parent Trap treatment
