My friend brought his cat along while apartment hunting, hoping the cat would help decide which place felt right. Instead, the cat made the process chaotic by constantly running off, hissing, and acting stressed in nearly every apartment they visited.

The realtor tried everything to calm the cat, but nothing worked. Each viewing turned into a chase, and the cat seemed unhappy no matter where they went. Everyone was frustrated, especially the realtor.

Then they visited one apartment where the cat suddenly relaxed. It stopped hissing, stayed calm, and seemed completely comfortable. Taking this as a good sign, my friend chose that apartment.

About a year later, while doing some work near the pipes, they discovered a small bottle of catnip hidden underneath. It turned out the exhausted realtor had secretly used catnip to make the apartment appealing to the cat, helping end the stressful apartment search once and for all.
