Yes, it is possible that some of mine don't get enough attention. I do my best but I'm sure now and then one goes without. However, if I didn't have them, they would be DEAD. There are very few options for unwanted cats, especially adults. And I'm sure most cats would prefer being alive, even if they don't think they get enough scritches, rather than being dead. Like GloriaJH said, maybe that's not how you meant that comment, but that's my stock answer to the "too many cats" debate. In my case it just can't be helped. It's not like I went out and got 20 cats on purpose.

Of course, right now I have 7 cats draped all over me, so I think they're feeling pretty secure, LOL!

Truly a loaded statement.

I find it ironic that somebody who's only ever had one cat at a time can say something like that about people with multi-cat households. Some people never learn, indeed.

Each cat gets the attention that he or she needs at any given time. There are times when I have three or four cats on my lap at one time. There are times when all six cats will be back in bed with DH and me. We never sit down without at least two cats with us. There is plenty of food to go around, plenty of cuddles, and plenty of love.

You're doing what's best for you and Autumn....we're all doing what's best for our kids, too. Kindly remember that.

I agree 100% All of my kitties get all the love and attention they want. Now some of my cats are more affectionate than others for sure, but the ones who are more timid or independant, I will actually seek them out just to give them special lovin' or treats, but if a cat comes to me at any time for love or attention, they get it, and many times I have lots of kitties on me as well. I love it, THEY love it too. I have had many people comment on how happy, well adjusted and healthy my kitties are. I'm proud of that.

I LOVE that many people on here have multiple cats. I was showing this thread to Dana last night just to prove to him that we are not the only crazy cat people.
