Things working out?

I'm not sure how long this arrangement will last, but I have some new room mates. There's now two cats in the house and they're getting acquainted rather quickly, but not fast enough to save my couch from being used as a scratching post. This drops my cost of living by quite a bit. Rent is now $300, which is quite sweet. My immediate surroundings, being the basement doesn't change. Though I don't think the tension has really been addressed, so we'll see how long this lasts.
