I have three cats. A 5 year old male, a year old female, and a 7 month old male. I live in an 1100 sq ft 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom apartment... Sadly Osiris (7 month old male, newest addition) stays in the second bedroom most of the time... Him and the older cat do not get along at all. Ive had him two months and still working on the introduction phase. Other than that there are 2 humans to ad to the clan
Total capacity between humans and cats is 5

oh god I feel like a hoarder!!!I am in a very small 2 bedroom apt, we were in in a much larger one a few months back. we have 5 cats,1 bunny,2 gerbils and 2 mice. Jenny stays in the bedroom with us cuz she is terrified of most of the cats. the bunny and other small caged animals are in the spare room. So that leaves 4 cats in the living room and kitchen, though Bentley comes in the bedroom sometimes cuz Jenny doesn't mind him. I feel bad cuz the other cats want to sleep in the bedroom but we tried the door open thing and 2 of the cats would pick on jenny and she started peeing every where cuz she was scared to use the box. So stressful...sometimes. Nuit was suppose to be a foster but no one wanted her and after taking so long to settle it wouldn't be worth putting her through that stress. After almost a year she is finally not a demon!! All four are sitting in the living room with me as I type and ae able to get away from eachother when need be. They also have a couple of cat trees and window seats!!

I live in an around 800sq foot 1 bedroom apartment with one cat and a fishtank and I'm pretty much at the limit. Mostly because of the temprament of my cat though. Two mellow cats would do fine here.

I also need to be careful how I furnish the place to make sure there's enough space to run around and leap about without crashing too much into things.

A bigger place would be good but we're doing ok so far.

I have two cats, a ferret, and a boyfriend in an 850sqft 1-bedroom apartment. We have plenty of space, as far as I'm concerned. The layout is fantastic, so the litter boxes (which take up more space than the cats) don't bother me. They have an entire hall closet (double doors) for their litter boxes, now that no one is confined to the bedroom. No humans have to step on tracked litter, and the boxes are out of sight (but easily accessible for regular scooping). In the past, I have lived in places that sort of forced placement of the litter boxes in out of the way, inconvenient areas, and it was a pain to stay on top of litter box detail. I don't want them underfoot, but I need to have ready access to them to stay on top of regular (usually twice daily, but always at least once daily) scooping. If i ever build a house, I am including a "litter closet" - it's really one of the major reasons I picked this apartment. As we have three other closets (two walk-ins and a large linen closet), I don't feel like I'm "wasting" closet space. There's room to keep the broom and vacuum in the same closet, and a shelf along the top where we keep laundry items (no in-unit washer/dryer, but the trade-off was worth it).

I think I could easily have several more mellow cats in this space. My lease won't allow it, and my budget certainly won't, but I can see how it could be done.

I live in loft style apartment about 800 sq feet. I have two cats and I think that enough for me.
If I had a bigger place I would likely add another cat or two.

Tortie, I have a very similar situation (minus the rehoming thing) I totally have been wanting cats for 5 years now. I have tried to be so patient and my husband insisted that we wait until we were financially stable (I agreed). Finally we're better off this year and after seeing me turn into a mess over simply -thinking- of kitties and start asking if he wants to have a baby (a human one!) his opinion on cats did a 180.

But we're in 600 square feet! I got a large cat tree so I hope that'll give my little monkey meezer space to play.

4 bedroom home, the backyard is 2 acres - fenced. I own 3 dogs, a cat, and reptiles all inside pets. There is a lot of room. The dogs love running around outside, there is just not a substitute for that type of exercise and freedom, we still take them on walks daily but the backyard is wonderful. We also grow fruits and veggies.
