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 😻

I had a place where I had to describe what they looked like on the pet form. Maybe even provide a picture, I can’t remember. Both of mine were black and white (one tux, one cow). I fibbed and said I had 1 cause that was the limit and then she was always put in my bedroom when maintenance came because “she doesn’t handle strangers,” so they never knew I had two. Yours look so similar, they’d all have to be in the window together for anyone to know. **edit to add: your crew is so adorable and I can’t believe how well they all match lol

I got permission for one and then promptly got two. Didn’t have any problems as the LL never ended up coming round while we had them both

Where I live (Australia) we have some of the strictest rental laws in the world. Something like 95% of rentals in my city don’t allow pets. My house doesn’t allow pets. I have two cats and they can take my babies away from my cold dead hands. I’ve lied about cats my adult life, and since I’ll probably never afford my own home, I’m going to continue to do so til the day I die. I keep my apartment clean, my babies are very well behaved, and my landlord has no right to dictate how I choose to live. Lie through your teeth, girlfriend. And enjoy your adorable little crew.

Here are my “nonexistent” babies, for solidarity 💪🏻
