So we've been here about 12 weeks. The official policy at the apartments is 2 cats. That is standard in 99.9% of all apartments throughout California. I don't like having to withhold information, but we take really good care of our cats and our apartment, and we are prepared to move should there...

We ended up getting some pretty good sized dog cages, and had them in one room with no furniture on the last day. It ended up being pretty easy to get them in there, because the cages were the only hiding place. Unfortunately, one kitty was especially difficult and we had some pain medicine...

Thanks for the advice. I am not sure how easy it will be to actually get a hand on their scruff, but I will try, and also prepare the room. We are also considering feeding them in their carriers and closing them that way if possible. It's kind of stressing us out because we move in 3 weeks.

Yea, I think I won't have to lie about having pets, but the number of pets is obviously an issue, and it would be unlikely someone not knowing us would agree to letting us move in. We have actually been making some phone calls to places and this comes up every time ("How many cats do you...

Thanks, yes, I think we may be forced to lie. I don't like doing that but at the same time I know that we are responsible, and that we are prepared to take financial responsibility for any damage (which has been extremely minimal over the years, never lost any deposit money).

We have managed to get six cats (the last one we rescued off the street because we found her with a broken leg). But now we are trying to move to San Francisco Bay Area and as we make calls to both apartments and rental houses there is nobody willing to let us move there, yet we need to move...
