Cat Connundrum

how often does the landlord visit? If teh answer is Never then id get a cat.

My tenancy agreement states no pets, but then after 4 years living here ive never seen my letting agent or landlord once.

So the 4 years ive had with my pet here have been bliss :) , also depends if your place is furnished by the landlord or not.

All depends if its worth the risk for you, you can be happy and have a pet or find somewhere else that will be pet friendly.

I'm the same I have a no pets but I've got a cat and when they call to do a house inspection I just put the cat outside for the day and put the cat littertray/bed etc in the toilet cupboard and they never find it.

Couldn't be without my cat :)
 
Cats are disgusting vile creatures, they'll treat you with contempt unless they are hungry or fancy being petted for a while. Once they are fed up with your feeble attempts at petting they'll chew and claw on you for a bit before coughing up a hairball on the most expensive item in the house. They're good for a short bit of entertainment but generally they are awful companions and remain untamed thousands of years after they were 'domesticated'.

They look like little poofs of fur but they spend all night killing every bird within a 5 mile radius of your house and occasionally they might bring you back some guts or the head of a sparrow as a 'present', but it's more of a warning shot to say 'you're next, human'.

****ing cats. **** em.

I live with the landlord. Who is also my Mum.

Yeah, I know. C'est la vie.

It's kinda embarrassing on the one hand. On the other hand, it's not that unusual anymore, especially among manchildren.

It gets more embarrassing when you refer to your mother as the landlord.

It's adorable how you think a few cats represent the millions of cats across the world.

I had a cat for over 15 years that was the complete opposite of what you describe.

I have friends who have cats that are also the complete opposite of what you describe too.

only because you are attached to them. everybody believes their child is beautiful. like on the news when some complete horrible tool dies in an accident they are always a "very caring, loving person etc" but in reality they were a drain on society.

if they are not murdering british wildlife they are "spraying" (pee eye ess ess ing) and crapping on everything.

I may well do but it doesn't stop cats from being unpleasant. If some dogs lashed out and had the same temperament as some cats they would be destroyed or declared a dangerous breed. I think the OP is just caught up on Internet cat syndrome, sometimes you shouldn't meet your heroes.

When I was a baby my mother's cat got super jealous and had to be re-homed after it would constantly swipe at me and especially when my dad peeked around the back of the sofa where it was hiding and soon found himself with a cat attached to his scalp and blood pouring down his face. Before I was born it was supposed to be the sweetest little pussycat but it turned into a ferrel beast as soon as I came along.

I'm sure there's plenty of nice cats but lets not fool the OP into thinking they're perfect little balls of fluff.

They mostly are. I've lived with eight [yes eight] cats and they never lashed out. Not once.

You've had a bad experience, but don't tar everyone with the same brush.

So my cat wasn't the opposite of what they described because of my attachment to him?

Yeah, no.
