Dear Owlie:

We much as we love our pets (and we really, really do), finding rental housing with them is proving to be a b$#%&. We're going to have to pay huge deposits. If we can find somewhere. We've been homeowners, so it wasn't an issue. Now it is. (Granted one cat isn't our heard, but still.....most places charge a deposit if not pet rent too).

You're in grad school. You want to travel. You want flexibility. Tie yourself down later - not now.

If you want to cuddle one, volunteer with a rescue!
