Damn I thought you were concerned about whether
folks in the other units would rat you out for smoking!
Unless you are up a couple of floors I'd check this one out with the landlord/lady first. I empathize with you as my other half and I have a kitty in our life too.It's kind of stupid as cats don't bark/shit/piss on the rug floor etc. I love dogs too, but find cats to be more practical for a variety of reasons.
