Bloody "no pets" clause

[oneiriad]

It breaks my heart to look out the window sometimes. Because while the apartment is great, then I'm not allowed to have a cat here - not sure I would anyway, it probably wouldn't be fair on the poor beast, but still.

But the house has a backyard/garden (currently undergoing renovation of sorts which means it's pretty inaccesible) and sometimes there are cats down there. I've encountered them in front of the house once or twice, but they run away so fast that I strongly suspect them of being feral or at least no more tame than the cat my grandfather has, which is pretty much feral except when it comes to him.

But they are down there, in the backyard, and one of them has kittens. Three adorable kittens. Just that size where they are perfect for playing and petting. And even if I could get into the backyard, I'm pretty sure they'd run away.

It's enough to break your heart.
