I'm not relly sure about the sf, but I live in an apartment with 2 bedrooms, a big living room/dining room, a computer room and of course kitchen & bathroom. The cats have plenty of space. I'd just love a balcony.

One bedroom apartment, 800 sq feet. I have two cats and believe I have room for one more. It is a real open floor plan and each cat has staked out his or her place to be alone. I think there probably is only room for one more cat to find a place like that.

I have 2-bedroom triplex (not sure about sq. footage) and three indoor cats. Since I have a decent-sized fenced yard, I was also able to keep my two dogs.

I'm presently house-hunting and it looks as though I will probably move into a 3-bedroom/2-bath manufactured home. Then, I may get more cats. In the past, my max has been 6.

I have 1100 square feet plus a basement and 2 cats. It's definitely more than enough room, since Ivo can put a floor between her and Gypsy when Gypsy is frisky.

This house is over 3,600 square feet (not sure the exact number, it just says over 3,600). We have 3 cats and 2 dogs. It could hold lots more, but 3 cats and 2 dogs is enough for us.

I have a 14x70 trailer and I have, uh, 13 cats
I'm never alone
everyone gets along fairly well and my second BR is dedicated solely to litterboxes

I have 1 cat for every 141 and 2/3 square feet. So that's 3 cats and about 425 square feet. They said 450-475, but it's actually 425, I figured it out.

We do just fine, and we're moving into an 1800 sq foot duplex in less than a year.

Well if you go by that figuring of 1 cat for every 131 and 2/3 sf then you should be able to get a few more kitties and then we get more pictures.

I have 4 kits that are indoor ONLY! I live in a double wide that is 28X58.They are not allowed free range, as I am allergi to them.So, they have the Kitchen,Living Room,hall way and during the day.....the kids bedrooms.They are all VERY happy and content.
I don't think it has so much to do with space as it does HOW much attention they get and how much love they feel.

There's no place like home
About 3400 sf here with 10 permanent indoor cats, 2 more that come in and out, and 2 large dogs. I will tell you that when we moved from our last house of about 2300 sf to this house, every last cat relaxed because they had a lot more room.

I have 4 cats in a 1600 SQ house. The cats are locked up at night so incase something happens I know where all the animals are. Lily stays in my room and the kitchen all the time and the rest of the cats have free roam except in the kitchen, my room and bathroom.
