ok, so i had RJT call the office and find out what the official price for having an animal is...
$300 deposit, and only $200 of it is refundable
$25 per month
THAT!
i'm keeping kitty locked in the bedroom and totally using the cat-sitting excuse if i get busted. |

| kill it while they get through the inspection. bury it in pet semetary and watch it come back to life. |

| Same thing happened to me. Lived in my apartment complex for 4 years with a cat and never told because I'd have to pay a $400 deposit. One day however a worker came in to fix something and saw the cat and reported it. I made up a story that my mother got really sick and gave the cat to me only temporary until she got out of the hospital. I told them my mother gets sick often and so many times throughout the year, I'd watch her cat for her. The excuse worked but I moved out maybe a year later. |

sooo, as many of you know, i got a kitten... BUT... i never told my apartment complex about it. now i found out they're doing "annual inspections" next week and replacing our smoke alarms and they're obviously going to see the kitten when they go into my apartment.
i was going to call up and speak with the sweet lady who i dealt with when i signed my lease, but she doesn't work there anymore, and most of the other women that work in the office are bitches.
so i'm basically ed, i'm gonna have to let them know, and i'm gonna have to pay the extra amount per month to keep my kitten there... but i'm just trying to figure out the best way to approach the situation so that i don't get in trouble for having the kitten there without telling them first.

any ideas?
:nervous: |

1. Don't rely on nice inspectors.
2. Don't say you're catsitting; they'll ask when until, and come back later. No excuse will work.
3. When my family used to go on holiday together we stuck the cat in a shelter for a few days. I think you call it a Cattery or something. You pay a bit of cash and they look after your cat and feed it.
4. Pay someone to keep it if no-one is nice enough to take it.
5. Tie a long rope to it's collar and dangle it out the window when they come. |

that's actually not a bad idea... but how do i know for sure that they're subcontracting? i think they're probably just having their maintenance crew or whatever do it.
the cat-sitting excuse might be good though. |
Usually "annual inspections" mean theyre going in to find out what kind of disorder the apartment is in, and then they can call you on it if they choose. I used the "dog-sitting" excuse at my old place after they did their "annual inspections" and they told me to get a life. I had to give the dog away. Im not kidding. |
