Oh I'm sure he would LOVE that.
My boyfriend and I live in his house and he's very particular about it. Even though we take care of the animals and he doesn't LIVE here, he doesn't want any animals ever. I'm glad I got Gwen before I moved here because I doubt he would have let me get a dog. I've asked him if I could foster, pet sit, have a other animal and it's always a no. He doesn't want his house to get dirty or smell like animals....? My dad is odd. And a bit dense.
Initially we were going to get ferrets but the apartments around here won't let you. : ( We were pumped for one (probably two) but apparently all the people who have had them in apartments let them destroy the place.
I've seen the cat cages at adoption places. That makes sense. I just don't get having one in your house. It just seems weird.
