I liked their energy, but my rental lease says I can only have one cat. Should I ask my landlord (who I have a good relationship with and a really good deal on rent), just get one of the cats without telling her, or not get one? If I should get one, which one?

You said you have a good relationship with them, I say to give it a try and ask and if they say no eat the bullet and don't get the cat. If you get one and they then know about it, it can ruin both relationship and rent deal

That's my thoughts on your question

As of which one... This one is hard, the right one?

And to clarify, that’s probably something they’ll figure out eventually- even if you say nothing and just get the cat.

As a side note, if these two are a bonded pair… take them together or wait for the right cat. Imagine being the one to break up Lucy and Ethyl or Butch and Sundance.

Or Ozzie and Lala:

Seriously though OP, listen to this advice.

Oh, absolutely.

Though it was a vague and unispired reference to Babylon 5.

in the second season, Sinclair (form commander of bab5) went to the station to... do a thing... (sorry, spoiler.) and get Sheridan (the current commander,) to help. When Sheridan agreed, Sinclair replied, "We'll be like Lewis and Clark. Butch and Sundance. Lucy and Ethel." to which Sheridan replied "Lucy and Ethel?" with a look of confusion.

Ozzie and Lala would make the Ride-or-Die-Classics though. On second thought, that would be an awesome movie.
