:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought.

You deserve a medal for putting up with that, well done you.
That's nothing. Try having pokes and scratches over your arms, head (combs my hair with his claws sometimes when I'm asleep), face, eyes (eyeball once). If I dare face away from him in bed, he taps me on the head or shoulder, getting more and more 'violent' the longer I take to turn back round. He slept across my neck, face and ear the other morning, and usually ends up hogging at least one of my pillows (literally sprawling across the bottom) while I find myself down one side of the bed with naff all. Several times I've had to get out the other side of bed and get back in where I started as he's hogged so much of the bed and pushed me out.
But I love him dearly and wouldn't change him for the world. He's absolutely obsessed with me. He loves my other cat to bits but she's scared of him as he tries to play and chases her. I can't even stroke her without him getting incredibly jealous and coming over and barging her out the way or plonks himself next to her. She spends her whole time next to him with one paw raised as a warning.
He also gets fed up if I'm watching telly (with him next to me getting a stroke usually) and gets down, goes up the stairs and wails at the top of his voice til I go sit a few stairs down and give him my undivided attention, kiss his head and tickle his tummy.
Cats! Who'd have 'em lol! He was a rescue cat (as was my other) who was badly treated and abandoned. And, seeing as we nearly lost him last year after he lost so much weight and wouldn't barely move from an old basket (cos of the abscess on his face and another massive one on his side), I let him boss me around
Sorry, enough cat-chat... back to it!

What kind of place is this where people can be thrown out of their own HOME for having moggies? What business is it of the landlord's anyway; none.
For the love of God, what harm did a p u s s y ever do? If it were a wildebeest in the kitchen I would understand.
I would hope that somewhere there is a landlord reading this and feeling at least a little ashamed of their profiteering ilk.
This is hilarious!
I have viewed a property today which is a similar size to where I am currently living, maybe a little smaller, but will accept my cats with no additional deposit although it is £100 more per month and that letting agent takes one months rent upfront rather than 1 and a half months so should be able to get the cash together for that.
Thanks for all your replys!0 -
Good luck

If I was the landlord, it would not be so much the fact that my tenant had four cats that would get my goat, it would be the deceit. Maybe if the tenant had asked before taking the cats, the ll would have been reasonable.
I also think that those people who say that the ll is being mean and what business is it of thrirs how many cats the tenent has, that it is the ll's proerty and they are entitled to make rules about who lives in it,. Many properties, even bought ones, have rules about pets.
Finally I will say I am a cat-lover, I have had at least one cat for over forty years, other than the eight years we spent in Spain. I have two now, inherited from my son when he moved into a flat.
To the OP, glad you've found somewhere.(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0
