It was HARD!<br /><br />You're right, there is an expectation that the house look like a model home.<br /><br />Suggestions - cat smells must be eliminated. Eve a die-hard cat lover could be turned off by urine, feces and vomit smells.<br /><br /><br />If you can't have a friend or famly member keep the cats with them during showings, make sure the cats are clean, and unobtrusive Hiding under the bed is best. When you leave the house for showings - take SHERMAN with you!<br /><br />This may be unfair to have to sell your house, but it is reality.<br /><br />One of my main practice areas is real estate law. <br /><br />Check for my email.<br /><br />RiviRivinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34039605.post-72791714062009375982012-03-20T11:53:35.440-04:002012-03-20T11:53:35.440-04:00"Staging" a house in Hamilton means you ..."Staging" a house in Hamilton means you take the old mattress off the front porch and put it in the back yard.Steve Bartlettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34039605.post-21763511137326874512012-03-19T21:43:40.384-04:002012-03-19T21:43:40.384-04:00i could just picture your house with staging lady....i could just picture your house with staging lady. would be a great cartoon. i'm sure the cats weren't too impressed with her either...and said "she has to go!<br /><br />i always tell my cats how lucky there are!

Staging is for ppl who lack a sense of style (my mom and I are examples, no offense Mom!). If the stager isn't a cat lady then who cares as long as the litter boxes are in the basement I wouldn't worry about cat trees or scratching posts.Carolinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34039605.post-9613778357103637552012-03-19T18:57:04.729-04:002012-03-19T18:57:04.729-04:00When you visit the shelter tomorrow could you shoo...When you visit the shelter tomorrow could you shoot the pregnant girls and give a little bio? I always wonder and they provide so little info. People might be more willing to foster if they know they are not feral and possibly FeL+.

I'm the same way with any weather, always think about the homeless souls...hurts my heart. We will run into the same issue of home "staging" soon as well. My thought is, they live here-you don't-get over it. I want my house to sell to another animal lover anyway...so there! >^..^<Chrissykathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08382208949819192649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34039605.post-74366010646974146302012-03-19T17:39:00.631-04:002012-03-19T17:39:00.631-04:00Beth, I am also fearing a 'bad' kitten sea...Beth, I am also fearing a 'bad' kitten season this year. We took in 7 pregnant cats last week (4 in one day!).<br /><br />And last weekend when it poured rain and was very cold, instead of thinking about 3 cats (2 pregnant) I had trapped and where warm & dry - and I worried about the one left behind. Would he go in the trap? How long would he be in the trap? Did the tarp blow off & he was now wet? I hardly slept. I got up at 5 am to go up and check the trap, but he wasn't in it. Then at 6 the neighbours called and said he was in the trap.<br /><br />Now they are all safe, and the 2 pregnant females can have their kittens in a warm house rather than outside (it snowed a bit today). But of course, I think about all the other free-roaming cats yet to be found and helped.hmacrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212303090459554036noreply@blogger.com
