My friend sent an email to his landlord, asking if it would be ok to get a Cat…. The reply

In english (on an “as-is” translation basis)
A cat… it sounds very adorable that you want a cat - my friend is an expert on cats and argues that a cat should not be left alone…
And a cat pees everywhere, especially if it’s alone a lot, and the entire first 6 months, you have textile beds and your textile couch, where it will scratch - we’ve got a dog who unfortunately hasn’t gotten used to cats since its juvenility and the neighbour beneath you has a cat, it’s allowed outside and it meows and want in early in the mornings
We are grateful if you do not get a cat, you should try to find a girl… you are so nice and a catch for the girls
Hope you do not get saddened from our dissuasion… you are very welcome to borrow Voffsi, our dog, whenever you want, just say… he is very kind
