When we sold our house a few months back, our realtor was unconcerned with our cat, and told us not to bother sending her off to stay with friends. But that might've been because it was only one (rather small) cat -- two might be different. We also had no carpet, and I think people worry primarily about getting pet stains/smells/dander out of carpet. My own view is that sending the cats to grandma can't hurt you, but keeping both cats might hurt you (even if it is unlikely).
Whatever you do, make sure you have at least one photo of both the kitchen and bathroom. As mentioned above, when we were house-hunting, it was always off-putting when there were no photos of either the kitchen or bathroom -- like they were trying to hide something.
There's this place that sort of appeals to us in Toronto, but the problem is that all seven pictures on mls.ca are of the exterior -- not a single inside picture. Weird.
I went on MLS, entered Jarvis, and see what it is you are talking about. I know that development, and it is fairly new (less than 10 years old). Certainly, Jarvis is improving considerably -- with the new Ballet School + Radio City, the X condo development at Charles, the expansion of the Rogers headquarters, etc. It would be a great location for both of you, walking distance to the subway, the gay village, Bloor and Yonge, the Eaton Centre, etc.
As for lack of interior photos, given the age of the development, I suspect that the didn't post photos because the rooms are probably very ordinary (rather than decrepit). (I note that the one TH listing that does have interior shots boasts new hardwood floors, and that is what the photos show). I wouldn't worry about "ordinary" -- that just means that it's a blank canvas. The units are certainly attractive from the outside.
