I have a cat and she is sweet. She will follow me everywhere but stays off of counters. I don't smell her butt so she only puts her face in my face.
Maybe it's because I spoil her with toys and attention.
I use pee pee pads instead of litter.

With kids in the house you have to consider the other stuff. Asbestos siding can be a big deal if you ever decide to re-use the house. Lead can be painted over.
It also depends on if you want a project home or move in ready.
One thing I would also look at is it classified as historical?

Personally I don't do bike nights. I prefer rides and meet and greets. If I am riding, I want to ride not park for hours. Meets are great for BS.
I do go to the Piqua bike fest in September.
