One other thing to note: depending on where you will be living, different city councils have different rules about the number of pets you can have. For instance, I live about 10 km outside of Melbourne, and I am only allowed to have two pets total. I think this is pretty stock-standard, so for four cats you may have to be willing to live pretty far out of the city (like, in the country -- not the suburbs). So just check the town councils of the areas you're looking at to live, and see what their rules are.
