Many apartments have restrictions on renters having pets. But what happens when the renters are the pets?
A California man is renting his Silicon Valley studio apartment to a pair of cats for $1,500 a month, The Mercury News reported. The apartment lacks a kitchen, but cats are not known for their culinary skills, so it all works out.
“Basically I’ve got two renters that don’t have opposable thumbs,” David Callisch told the newspaper. “It’s actually great. They’re very quiet, obviously. The only problem is they stink up the place.”
The rent for the cats, named Tina and Louise, is paid by Troy Good, 43, who is footing the bill while his daughter, 18-year-old Victoria Amith, attends college at Azuza Pacific University, the News reported. Amith could not take the cats to the university, since the dorms do not allow pets.

I'm guessing she's a "Bob's Burgers" fan rather than a "Gilligan's Island" fan.
$1,500 a month for a studio apt. in Silicon Valley sounds incredibly cheap.
I am tempted to say that a fool and his money are soon parted—but I suspect that the person footing the bill has lots of money, and investing in one’s relationship with one’s daughter, even in this way, isn’t the worst thing to do with the money.
The mice are hunch-backed... and very edgy.
But the “Bob’s Burgers” characters are named after the actress from “Gilligan’s Island.”
No kitchen? Was one of the previous owners Karen Carpenter?
And maybe she is required to live in the dorms for freshman year, but will move in with the cats later on. ??
I know a young person on an internship job at Google, who paid $1100/month to sleep on a couch in someone's living room
Well, it doesn’t have a kitchen, per the article.

Lol- that’s funny right there-
The ad for the apartment probably sold him when he got to the part where it stated “enough room to swing a cat.”
Better be a nice couch.
Tina and Louise?
Gingers are ok, but I prefer Mary and Ann.
That should not be a problem Cats are less destructive than many people.
Kittyping?
When the kitties get through with that apartment he’ll call them Thelma and Louise.
I once had a beloved cat (followed me home as a kitten) whom I decided not to have declawed. My den couch was later found slashed to ribbons.
;^)

If the first cat had been named Thelma, everyone would be wondering...
Do Tina and Louise pay the rent? Just askin’.
Actually, the guy is probably saving money. If he boarded the cats at a vet’s or pet boarding place, he would be paying a lot more.
