Not to be the devil's advocate here but did you ever talk about it with your landlord?
Reason I am concerned is that I volunteer for the Humane Society here when I'm not volunteering at the hospital, and owners drop off cats and dogs(usually cats) all the time that they have to "get rid of" because they either got for someone as a gift that didnt want it, or they simply didnt talk it over with their landlord first and the landlord found out about it and threatened to evict them if they didnt get rid of the animal. Also when you and your roomate go your separate ways, who is then going to be responsible for the cat?
Again I dont mean to rain on your parade, I'm a happy cat owner myself, but I see this scenario all the time and I'm a bit sensitive to it.......the Humane Society here in fact when we adopt out, check references of potential adopters and we will call a landlord to make sure they say it's ok to prevent animals from havign to come back to the shelter.
