Re: Scared to death!
[QUOTE=manoasurfer123]It's a lot easier to "hide" a cat in a rental then to have 3 barking dogs!

Um, depends on the cat. One of our cats is a SCREAMER (I believe he's part Siamese). You can hear him down the street, even with all the doors and windows closed. Even with anti-depressants (to help him with a different problem), he's still LOUD, though it's not as constant. I tried to have one of my friends look after my two cats at her apartment in town when I was on call and unable to drive to my boyfriend's house on the Windward side to look in on them. I had to take the cats all the way back to the Windward side that night after a couple of hours of trying to get them to calm down at my friend's place--my friend was afraid one of her neighbors would call the cops on her. The cat sounded like a screaming baby, and he was getting the other cat all upset! They were both THROWING themselves violently against windows and digging beneath the front door the whole time, trying to find a way out of my friend's apartment. They wouldn't allow themselves to be distracted by toys or foods or petting. It was a disaster.
