I have eight cats right now. That's more than I've ever had at one time in my life.
Here is the list:
Niki- F- Russian Blue- 8 years old
Yoshi- M- Black and White DSH- 8 years old
Josie- F- Calico DSH- 4 years old
Rags- F- High White Tortie/Calico DSH- ? (rescue, no idea of age)
Max- M- Orange Tabby and White DSH- 4 months old
Punky- F- Gray Tabby and White DSH- 4 months old
Cyndi- F- Calico DSH- 4 months old
Belle- F- Tortie/Calico DSH- 4 months old

How many do you all have?
Who has the most?

I should count my babies at the bridge:
Cindy- Calico DLH- crossed at around 10 years old (cancer)
Gizmo- Gray Tabby DMH- crossed at 14 years old (old)
Boo- Black DSH- crossed at 1 year old (mysterious sudden death- no necropsy
)
Pooky- Black DSH- crossed at 1 year old (kidney disease)
Cuddles- Orange and White DSH- crossed at 4 months (aspiration pneumonia)

I've had bad luck with black cats! Too bad. I
them.

Ever since I can remember my mum has always been a cat lover so I've grown up around them all my life. Right now our feline family consists of (in house and strays included):-

Housecats: 11
Buddy/ Gucci/ Max/ Sherry/ Narnia/ Junior/ Psycho/ Simon/ Teddy/ Handsome/ Nimnuan/ Tango

Strays: 13
Mother/ Tiptop/ Blackie/ Ginger/ Sinin/ Samsee/ Mew mew/ Bloogie/ Chokedee/ Bambam/ Pebbles/ Knight/ Bruno

The love of our lives who have passed: 14 (housecats + strays)
Pasha/ Toffy/ Dolly/ Kitty/ Tiger/ Spotty/ Snowy/ Blujie/ Dobby/ Dodgy/ Didi/ Greeneyes/ Smokey/ Mint

There are also various strays that come and go from our lives, some kittens that died a few days after birth so we didn't get a chance to name them.

Cats - they make the world a much better place to be in.

This former feral baby-girl, Ku Ku, "A Queen of the house"


My family used to have 3 - a mother & 2 daughters. They got along well & were happy together. I've been thinking of getting a 2nd cat just for the sake of my lonely spoilt princess as she needs a companion who "entertains her".
I can not be staying at home doing it all the time while I'm working. It should be another cat(probably male?) who takes my place for that purpose but I am still concerning whether my baby is "a lone/one-house cat". She does not seem to get along with other cats or is not even friendly to human being other than myself


Either way, as my relocation is coming up, I'd wait until both of us are settled in the new location, I suppose

We have 3 right now.

Gracie- Orange DSH...she'll be 9 on the 28th of this month

Annabelle- Tortie...Not sure of her age, she was a semi-feral that I rescued..Vet estimates her age at somewhere between 7 and 9 years.

Elliott- White DSH...he's our big boy at almost 19 pounds...He's 3 years old.

RB Baby is Lizzie- Orange and White DSH...she would be the same age as Gracie, they're Sisters.

katz4life, I know what you mean. I'm going to keep it at 8. I can't bring in anymore, no matter what!
I almost had 9 or 10, but I lost Cuddles
and I found Lovey a nice new home
!
If I see anymore cats in need and I just can't stand it, I will take them to a shelter.

I
the ones I have, though!!

I have four of my own: Katie, 15, Gracie, 9, and littermates Peter and Claire, who will be 4 in a few weeks.

I also have a foster boy, Xander, who's about a year old.

I've only lost one kitty so far, Willy, who died before he was five years old after going into kidney failure.

KKH, that's a though call, because Niki was my only cat for a year. I thought she was lonely, so I got Yoshi. She hated him at first, but now she is OK with him. She doesn't seem to love him, though. She is still bonded completely with me. Now I have a house full of cats (and a dog) and she tolerates the others, but I think she still would have been happy as the only cat.
Whether you get another cat or not, Ku Ku will probably be OK. Cats are pretty adaptable.

In Kitty Heaven
Right now I have 13, that is the most that I have ever had at one time. I have three house cats, Prince, Sassy and Abby. Outside there are ten, my Katie and Momma (stray) who had 7 babies here and she brought back one little black and white boy from a previous litter. After the babies get big enough they will go to their furrrever homes and I will be down to possibly 5. I plan on keeping one of the babies and already have homes lined up for the most part, but I am enjoying the kitty heaven that I am experiencing right now!!

Yes, I know. Since she gets aggravated easily as soon as she sees/feels other cats' roaming around in the neighborhood. But then again, once we move to a new location, hopefully she won't be like that at all as there'd be absolutely no former feral connections or whatsover to her. My worry & concern are, it's not fair for her to be left alone at home while I am away, thought it maybe a good idea to get a companion cat for her but she may be a "one-house" cat, IDK. Either way, I'd need to see how she'd react to the new environment.

Currently I have 2 cats , Viola 5 yr Siamese mix and Natasha 4 yr old russian blue mix. But on Friday I get a 12 week kitten named Squeakers. He is the runt of a litter born in the backyard of a friend of mine. Blind in one eye and very needy. I must be out of my mind.
