Has anyone gone apartment hunting lately? I mean, wow. It is nearly impossible to find crazy-cat-lady-friendly apartments. I've found a few that say it's okay, then they're like "You have how many?! Maybe not...". Or they require an additional deposit of up to $300 PER PET. With 8 cats and a dog that adds up real quick. Or even worse, they have all these ridiculous conditions that NOBODY could possibly meet. I even found one place that requires all cats to be declawed!
We want to get our own house and trust me, we have been looking, but future DH and I are having some major disagreements about what we are looking for in a home. He, for example, absolutley adores one house we found, and I admit it won't be too bad...AFTER WE FINISH BUILDING IT! Seriously, it has concrete floors and bare sheet rock for walls. No, siree. No WAY am I living there. On the other hand, my favorite so far is a 6 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom, 5000 square foot, newly remodeled Victorian home (listed on the Historic Registry for its area, BTW), selling for close to half a million dollars. It would take us like a hundred years to pay it off, but it's do-able. Or so I keep telling him. He says, "Why bother? The cats are just going to destroy it anyway..."
Ugh. Here we go again with the cats...
Can't a girl have her kitties and everything else she wants in life too? Do I really have to sacrifice having a nice home and nice things because I love cats? I don't think so but the rest of the world seems to disagree.
So my 8 cats and I are going to go live in a shack in the woods where no one will bother us ever again.
