in your hunt for a new kitty!

It's a lot easier to hide a cat than a dog of course, they don't need to go out for potty and usually quieter than dogs. This apartment I lived in allowed cats, but only two, and they had to be declawed - well I wasn't doing that. My cats weren't destructive but I did lie about them being declawed since they never asked for proof. But I was too chicken to try it with a dog.
