To be honest, I'll stress a lot about making sure this all goes well for everyone...but that means you won't have to. I've owned a Shiba Inu (terrible first dogs, mind you) since 2012, who lives nearby in my sister's house; if you don't know anything about the breed, that means I know how to deal with stubborn dogs. My two roommates love dogs as well and will join in playtime when they're around. My friend down the road has an adorable kitten for whom I routinely end up providing care (currently lounging on me, in fact), and we had a cat while growing up for 14 years in my parents' home. One of my roommates may in fact love cats even more so than I, so your cat will have plenty of attention if you should choose to have it stay in my home. The only favor I ask is that you allow us to take pictures of the animals. We can restrict the posting of images to a private thread if you so desire, but all three of us would appreciate being able to upload to Instagram as well. If this is something you'd prefer us not to do for ANY reason whatsoever, please let me know and I'll make sure it doesn't happen. We just really love having pets in the house, since we're all on different schedules and individually find it difficult to have our own around full time.
