I liked their energy, but my rental lease says I can only have one cat. Should I ask my landlord (who I have a good relationship with and a really good deal on rent), just get one of the cats without telling her, or not get one? If I should get one, which one?

I have relatives that are landlords, anecdotally, they probably wont evict you since turnover isn't worth it unless you have other issues like not paying rent or destroying the house/apartment-unit in some way.

I'd say just get another one and say nothing. Going to court for eviction for something this small is not worth their time, it take months for there to even be a court date, and you would have plenty of time to move.

Honestly, moving would be devastating at this point. I'd probably have to pay $200 more for a place 1/2 the size (and I currently have a personal garage and a balcony). I'm not gonna risk it because I saw something cute lol
