I'm looking for a used rug (Persian - or other nice large) & coffee table/ottoman but don't have much money. Is there anywhere that sells decent used rugs/furniture in Montreal? South shore would be nice but willing to head into town if it's worth it.

Craigslist and Kijiji. A good Persian rug is expensive even used though. Also try church flea markets.
Some have an ongoing shop open one or two days per week.

You also might try your local Village des Valeurs thrift store or perhaps the Salvation Army store.

Thanks! I didn't think about Kijiji or VV. Yeah, it will still be $ for sure, but I'm hoping I can make a dent. Thanks!!

My friend has a rug with persian cat hair all over it (and a couch, chairs, comforter etc.) Does that count?

If so, make her an offer!

My old guy was a Persian (he was 20) and I can attest to that. Hair everywhere, always! You can break an egg or peel a banana, and find hair in it.
I now have a Siamese. He doesn't seem to shed at all, but he's a screamer.
My neighbours reported me to SPCA for "animal abuse". It's like living with an ambulance, or a baby being butchered by a set of bagpipes.

I love cats but it's rare that I've met a siamese that doesn't suck. They're always so unfriendly and unwilling to play with you. But that's no reason to abuse the poor guy lol!

Having a cat is great, not only because they're such good buddies but because they repel ANAL PEOPLE! Anal people are almost always allergic to cats (and 37 other things). Having a cat means that you can invite the anal person from work to your party but not have to worry that they will actually show up! "Hey Adolph! I'm having a party at my place on Saturday and... oh, I forgot, you're allergic to cats. Damn.. too bad." hehehehehe!

All the Siamese I've ever known were very friendly and affectionate. Sushi loves hanging around with my son and they play all the time.
(I called the guy in charge of the animal abuse hotline and told them my neighbours think I'm torturing a cat. He was laughing his a$$ off, because he has two Siamese of his own and he knows they never shut up. He told me they'll have to follow up a complaint, but not to worry about it.)

Oh, and just to let you know...
The Persian was found abandoned and starving in the woods, and the Siamese was a shelter rescue.
I'm not the type to go to breeders when there are so many looking for their forever homes.
