A fed up tenant says she feels 'penalised' for owning cats as she outlined her 'nightmare' experience of flat hunting in Edinburgh.
Kitty Cameron has endured a fruitless two-month search for somewhere to live with her two much-loved cats, Squid and Cous-Cous. An unfortunate change in circumstances means that the 25-year-old needs to move out of her current flat in Leith.
She is "desperate" to find somewhere to live - but the capital is currently going through a brutal housing crisis and renters are feeling the pressure with high demand and low supply.

Before Meghan Markle ever walked into Prince Harry’s life, the struggling spare had wondered what his life could be like beyond palace walls. In a resurfaced interview with author Angela Levin, the Duke of Sussex spoke candidly about his desire for an "ordinary life."
