Baw thank you!! Haha good to know :)

All such good points — thank you!! I did sign an extra pet addendum with my lease; I told the broker I had a cat and he said he’d told the landlord and it was fine, but I still checked verbally that my cat was allowed before I signed the lease, and the landlord said it was fine and went and got...

Baw thank you!! <3 I hope so.

Ugh yeah -- unlike my boss, I'm not a native New Yorker, so I'm kind of only just seeing how large a part theater and mind games can play in apartment squabbles like this.

Baw thank you!! I'll try to take your advice. I think probably I can't really do anything beyond getting a rug and trying to be a normal good neighbor in terms of noise, even though I know it will all be wasted on her and she'll complain about me anyway. I was talking to my boss today and she...

Thanks so much, everyone -- I hope so too!! Fingers crossed.

Yeah very good point -- she seemed uncomfortable when I went and apologized to her before about the bookcase noises, like she didn't want to talk to me at all, even though I'd only come down to say I was sorry. And those are good gift ideas! I think after all of this it'd be wise to get him...

Yes, exactly -- @tarasgirl06, I completely see what you're saying but I think people are really just joking about this particular situation without meaning to make any broad statements; the issue to me is that no matter how noise-sensitive she is, she won't even attempt work with me to find a...

Omg I hadn't even thought of that -- yeah I do have to wonder, if she didn't know I have a cat, if she would even be hearing these noises. And I have definitely misidentified noises before, thinking that noises were coming from the people below me only to realize later that it's actually the...

Wow I'm glad I found this out in time -- I had no idea :paranoid:

Thank you!! Yeah I agree with all your points. I'll get the rug so that I have it to show the super if he comes back, and beyond that I feel like it's not on me. I agreed when I signed the lease to take "all reasonable steps" to address any complaints about my pet and I'm definitely doing that...

Haaaahahaha

Oh good grief yes, I've had the stampeding-kids-overhead experience--it really does beggar belief when some people don't realize what makes a lot of noise and what doesn't. The building I'm in is very quiet overall, which I remarked to another (nice) neighbor, and she said it's because all the...

Hahaaha like that proverb about the guy with the house that's too loud, so he keeps adding animals to it and then takes them back out so that the house seems quiet in comparison. And yeah there probably is some reason why she's like this, but then I guess there's probably a reason why anyone is...

Hahaha amazing I was saying yesterday that it's hard to know when I'll run into the super (my friend was saying I should give him a good tip for Christmas, which I didn't know you're supposed to do???)--and then I was joking that I could always just give Crayon catnip at 11pm and wait for him...
