If you're looking for the perfect summer sublet in Washington, DC, you can call off the search, because we've found it. It's June-August, only $900 and it's furnished. There's really only one or two or 16 minor details, but probably nothing you'll notice. Thanks eternal to Blame It On The Voices for posting this gem.

Isn't this considered pets-sitting?

Exactly my thought- 16 cats, you need to be scooping out those litters at least twice a day... full out changing and cleaning at least twice a week...

Roombas are the least of the problem... and if they were eating a better quality food shedding wouldn't be as much of an issue... but that's besides the point-

OMG! I would be in heaven! Hope he doesn't mind if I bring my cats along!

But 16 cats confined to one bedroom? I can hear the hissing and a scratchin' already!

This person is kind of a cheap baztard--instead of hiring someone to cat sit for the summer, s/he's going to hoodwink someone into paying to sublet. D0uchebag alert!

This apartment could be free and I wouldn't take it. Sorry, as much as I love cats (and I do), I would get lost with all the funny names.

I think its a damn good deal. Nothing wrong by me.

When I've had a lot of pets, and cats- like rescues, and I've had to go away for a while- I have someone stay in the house- yes- but for free. Period, end of story. A petsitter will charge 25 or more an hour just to walk the dog. To do everything else? They would be paying an arm and a leg to have someone do all that stuff if they paid...

So sure, maybe say the person is responsible for the electric bill for that month- but don't charge someone to care for your mob. That's a lot of responsibility right there- even though they don't make it sound like much, that's going to be a rough job- especially if they're all in 1 room.

Ok, this was posted on DCist a couple days ago, and was already announced as a hoax. Way to be behind the curve, HuffPo.
