Is he crazy!!!?!!!
We have THREE cats and ONE house! I told him the only way we would get a fourth cat is if there was a really deserving cat at the shelter.
Anyone else have this problem?!!

Did you say IF? Of course there's a really deserving cat at the shelter.
Actually, the problem I had was that he said 3 was more than enough, and then HE was the one who fell head over feet for a little black Mojo girl, who also fell for him. And that's how we ended up with 4!

What is it with men?!
I'm the one who tries to convince him one more won't make a difference. I originally had him convinced that we could get a third kitty this summer I found orphaned kittens, which I seem to have found every summer the last few years. Then our cat unexpectedly died and we got a new kitten in January, so I think the deal is off.
2 is absolutely the limit here according to him, but we had 3 after Fred passed away. Then he rescued his darling Fluffy and we are back to 4.

I can always "hook you up" if you are really interested. I think if you met Maddy (the dog) you'd love her. And hey, it's not like you're adding another cat!
Don't feel bad - took me months to convience DH that we really should get another Ocicat. We want to travel and he says this is the limit (3 cats/1 dog).
I will admit it's hard to find a sitter when you want to go for the weekend. Sitter if for the dog; cats are fine

As someone who has 4 in a 400 sq foot apartment. There really isn't much of a differnce between 3 & 4. Yeah there is more litter box scooping, but what's a little more poo when you get all that extra love?
I wish I had the problem especially considering my MIL's barn cat just had two more kittens and I guess one looke just like her (DLH dilute tortie!).
Sometimes I hate visiting them because I know I can't bring them home... but I really really want to!

I knew I shouldn't have told the CAT site about my dilemma!
I am glad someone else asked this question. I currenlty have 3 and was thinking of more. There are so many at our shelter that need homes. I don't just want to give them a home and feed them, but I want to really know each personality and there special quirks. I am afraid that if I get too many I won't be able to have special time with each. Does that make sense? How many is too many? Of course I wish I could take them all home, maybe that is my problem. I know I am not the sole "fix" to the homeless problems.

I know what you mean! We need more people who are willing to take in cats from the shelter!

Well, he was all for "no more cats" until we babysat a kitty for a couple weeks and the house didn't really seem any more full, other than full of more LOVE!!!Originally Posted by cococat
My thoughts too!!
My husband is the opposite of your EnzoLeya...no more cats!

Oh c'mon....tell me you can resist this face!! We've had this boy for 5 months now! He's just about a year old. Sweet as pie, playful....fuzzy.
It's not the clearest pic of him....but he was up & off to try to get in my lap after I took it!

Im the one trying to convince myself that I don't need a fourth. My sister recently took in to stray females. Who both just so happened to be pregnant. We're pretty sure they are sisters as I remember them as kittens at a neighbors (my sister and I are neighbors). Anyways the one Calico had 7 kittens and the Tortie had 4. OMG there is one little Calico I wish I could bring home she is just adorable. But my house is so small and we already have 5 dogs (though three live in the basment apartment with my roommate) and three cats. I know we're at our limit but I would love to have a 4th someday.
That is what I told myself when I had 3 except I said I would fill the 4th slot with any cat in need. Of course it only took a matter of weeks before I found such a cat at my vets. Jeta is a great kitty and I'm glad I could give her a good home.
