I had 3 cat's but now have 2 and my friends and family call me a crazy cat lady.
It's not so much how many cats I have but all the cat "things" I have. I have my cat's pictures in frames, cat quotes on canvases a cat bag and cushion and some really nice pewter cat ornaments. Oh and a large wooden cat that sits in my kitchen.
Oh well.........
mickNsnicks2mom, I LOVE that sign! My hubby looked over at me while I was reading it and asked me what I was smiling at.
Ah, the glazed over look...I get that all the time at work. In my defense, my co-worker asked me about the cat all the time, but hmmm, she doesn't seem to as much anymore. Well, she loves cats too, I just have to let her get a word in edgewise once in awhile :lol3: And my husbands eye roll when he realizes what the conversation is about is priceless too.I have a feeling I'm well on my way to being crazy, but I don't think my cats have much to do with it! I know I must be a 'crazy cat lady' especially when the person's eyes start to glaze over when I'm talking about my cats, or my husband says "is that ALL you talk about?!" I just can't believe people aren't fascinated with cats the way I am. I feel sorry for people who don't or can't love animals, they contribute so much to our lives. Especially people who say they 'hate' cats! :jaw: How could they!!! I don't particularly like dogs, but I would never hate or purposely hurt one!
I might just have to have one too, I've never brought from etsy before. I especially like rule number 9. :nod:i actually just happened on that sign while browsing at etsy. i do believe i'll be buying a copy of that print.
my favorites are rules #1 and #10.I might just have to have one too, I've never brought from etsy before. I especially like rule number 9.
You sound like a very kind person to care for all those cats.I agree. In 2012 my vet bills came to over $10,000 and I only had 5 cats that year with only minor health problems. I was lucky I had the money in my savings. After Muffin and Muffy are gone I will not get any more pets because I have arthritis and I can barely take care of myself, much less a another pet. I also don't have anybody to take care of my pets if I should die while they are in my care.
No shame in living off of ramen noodles. After serving the cats their raw, I made myself ramen with eggs and vegetables tonight. You can totally still make a half-decent meal out of it. Sometimes I find buying packs of ramen in itself can be pricier than it should be, especially for being the stereotypical poor and starving student food. :anon:
But that's a whole 'nother subject. :lol3:
Thanks.I think you become crazy when you take in more than you can afford, ie food, housing, medical, etc. Some people take in cats and cannot afford proper nutrition or vet care, like hoarders. I do not think there is an actual number that makes you crazy, just the quality of life you can or cannot offer. I have two cats but would consider another two when my two old dogs pass. The reason is cost. Elderly animals are expensive due to medications, vet bills, special foods. I believe every animal in your care deserves the best medical treatment to the end of their lives, not dumped in a shelter because they develop age related problems.
Thanks, bonepicker. I love all animals, especially my cats.You sound like a very kind person to care for all those cats.
Thanks Bonepicker.
Thanks.

Can someone tell me what does purraise mean? I noticed that I have 2 of them and I don't see where anybody else has them.
Also it says that I have "no thumbs up yet". If you guys don't like my post I can go elsewhere. I think thumbs up is praise without them leaving a comment.
I think that's crazy. And the cats agree with me.
