I offered my landlord $100 a month to be allowed to have a cat. He said no because he would prefer that I move so he can raise the rent.
Land Lords are the dumbest leeches
You’re so close to the answer, yet you can’t bring yourself to do it, which is the whole problem:
Tell your freeloading cat to get a god-damned job. If your relationship can’t withstand that level of honesty, you guys have deeper problems.
Give your landlord a bill for mice hunting services.
He can pay in cuddles.
Oldest profession.
Wait what? You can pay people to cuddle you?
EDIT: Oh, nevermind, I just looked that up online.
Technically they were mousing professionally long before they were emotionally prepared for cuddles with us.
Oh I thought you meant sending pictures of your pet when they interrupt an online meeting. Is that called cat tax? Anyway, your cat may not have a job but it can pay in tasteful nudes.

We need UBI for pets
This is typically for insurance. Some don’t insure against pet damage, but even a well-qualified tenant’s pet can cause damage that the tenant themselves would be unlikely to, and this can easily exceed the deposit. This type of liquid damage is typically not covered by rental property insurance and can be very stubborn (think, odor).
Literal rent seeking
Your cat should claim unemployment benefits. Socialism. The answer is socialism.
