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?

The right answer here is ask the landlord, but if they say no, you can't get it. You've got a good place, a good deal on rent, and an amocable relationship with the landlord, don't screw that up because there's a cute cat in the window. They're adorable, someone else will adopt them if you can't.

I think this is the right answer. I've been a little more flippant with rules in my life lately and I think I needed someone else to tell me this. I don't really want to give my landlord any reason to raise the rent more or kick me out.
