That's probably what it was. I kept my cat secretly at my no-pets apartment for about a month.
My (rather flimsy) excuse is that I was moving out in a month anyway to a place that did allow pets and so I had started to window shopping at the animal shelter because I was finally going to be able to own a cat. I didn't intend to make a move until later but I had visited a few times and really liked this one cat and when I saw a family seem really interested in that cat my head blanked on NO MY CAT MINE MINE and I grabbed the paperwork and adopted her on the spot. /o/
Anyway, she's very quiet and doesn't meow often or loudly, and I got my full security deposit back so as far as I'm aware I got away scot-free with my dastardly cat-hiding scheme, woo. /o/
(Although, to anyone else reading this... in hindsight this was a very dumb idea. Would not recommend. I was a lot younger at the time so I was like RULES WHATEVER but in all seriousness a lot of the reason that people give up pets in the first place is because they get found out for having pets when they're living somewhere where pets are not allowed. And your landlord does have the right to evict you and/or not return your security deposit in such circumstances. So if I were in the same position today, I would've still adopted the cat but paid a pet hotel or a friend to temporarily hold onto her.)
