You could advertise $1295 as suggested and maybe get another $25 for Fluffy on the back end or a NR pet deposit .

I’m based in California were any RE here sells like hot pancakes.

well its simple math really.in many markets there simply are not enough homes to keep up with the population and the values of existing homes makes it near impossible to build new with what every thing cost to build new homes in many markets.. so you take out new construction .. like in many markets hardly any has been built in 10 years.. recycle the old homes.. and population goes up .. you have the markets you have now.you go to parts of the mid west that have seen steady population decline over the last 20 years and markets are flat as a pancake on values and no new construction but still plenty of homes to go around since people are fleeing not coming.. for instance in Portlandia 80 people each and every day move here from somewhere.so that's my take on it.also as investor don't we want are properties to go up? 

Maybe you could just stage the old breakfast area as a little sitting area with a couple of fluffy chairs and a small end table.

I think this calls for pancakes.

I would think their attitude would be, "so what, Fluffy pees on the carpet, I paid for it up front".I don't allow pets in our 2 SFRs.

It is much easier to find leaks using air with a larger air compressor (3.0 CFM or larger, not pancake style) because it puts out enough air that you can sometimes hear it coming out of a split pipe.
