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 😻

Your photos are hilarious. I seriously can't tell a couple of them apart.
Whatever you do, please please be impeccable with the cat smells and such.
Suspicious landlords may have been burned by a tenant whose cat sprayed and/or pooped outside the box. That's what happened to us: our nice cottage was ruined, we had to replace the floor to get rid of the smell. Cost us $2200.
We hadn't charged much for a deposit because the lady had a low-paying job. We even put in a cat door for her.
She told us she had one cat, but when she moved out we found out she had 3.
I forgot to mention: people can be allergic to places where cats have lived and the landlord is liable for the conditions of the place. So there's that.
