<p>My friend has offered me a kitty and I wish to take it, but Brookdale’s handbook says it doesn’t allow pets of any kind, including fish. It also doesn’t allow multiplugs, candles, christmas trees, laser pointers, and a bunch of other innocuous things like toasters. What if I want to use a variety of these things? Is it a strict place that will catch me lighting candles and such, or can I maybe have a well-behaved cat without a problem?</p>
