Craigslist Cat Craziness
I only use Craigslist to find crazy women, though I occasionally branch out to see if I can get my hands on some bedbug infested furniture, Nazi memorabilia, or 13 year old Malaysian slaves who can help me repair my tennis shoes.
Over in the apartments section (where I constantly dream of finding an ad that says “Haunted mansion in Georgetown — scene of triple homicide — only $400 a month, utils included!”) I found a real gem. So I’ll share it with you, dear internet. Here’s the original posting.

Background story on the condo and the cat what lives there:
My wife and I pick out a cat when the car was only 12 weeks old.
The cat lived with my wife for 3 years.
The wife and I got married, and the cat moved in my condo.
After 4 years living with the cat, the husband became very allergic to the cat.
We have moved out to a new place but the cat is still in the condo.
It has been living in the condo for over 4 months.
My wife goes to the condo each day to feed the cat.
We don’t want to get rid of the cat; both of us do love the cat.
But wanted to find someone who was willing to live with the cat.
Someone who grew up with one or two cats and loves them very much. CAT friendly person is a MUST.
Someone who will pet the cat, and can provide a loving environment.
My Wife still plans on coming over each day (between set time after talking with you) and checking up on the cat, feeding it, change the Cat Litter Box if needed. If you are willing to feed the cat yourself and my wife builds a trust with the new renter, she may chose to come every other day. We can talk details later.********************************
