I live in a basement suite alone with a timid 1.5 yr old female indoor cat.
She currently has a view out of 3 sides of the house. When a neighbor's cat
visits a window she will paw furiously at it until it leaves (as opposed to
wailing like my last cat did).

The landlord is selling the house so I will need to move to another
apartment within 3 months.

I am considering finding another basment suite, or a downtown apartment
complex which has both hi-rise or lo-rise apartments (and allows cats).

I terms of the cat would she prefer a 1st or second story view of the
outdoors, or would a hi-rise view be just as good for her?

Would a downtown apartment with more traffic and hallway noise be more
stressful? Would she enjoy seeing cars/people move by as opposed to a more
static back alley view?

Thanks,
Keith
