Without boring you with the details, my boyfriend and I need to rent for a few months between selling our old place and buying our new place.

We have looked at almost 100 rental properties and not a single one of them allows pets. We have a cat and a kitten.

There’s no way we’d ever rehome our cats. But the only solution we can think of right now is to send them to stay with my mom for a few months until we’ve finished renting. Although we really don’t want to do that.

Or… could we smuggle them in?!

We will be renting an apartment, not a house, so there will be neighbours all around us. We are just worried in case the landlord somehow finds out, or if the cats damage the place… as my older cat’s favourite passtime is launching himself onto corners of walls and doorframes… leaving scratch marks behind… which could be fixed with Polyfilla of course…

Has anyone got any suggestions, or been in this situation themselves?
