This is so cute I feel like i know all of you now and the love you have for your critters


Thanks for sharing
but i'm surprised that everyone doesn't have a dozen or more cats

2 guinea pigs,
at least 20 fish, 8 of whom moved cross-country from TN in May.

Your friend may be able to take her fish with her with a little planning. I put my guys in a 1gal jar, super-aerated the water overnight each night (bought a cheapo air pump at Wallyworld), and kept them in the coolest part of the car possible. I did have to add some cold water one day when the car got too hot, but I didn't lose ANY on the 4 day trip!! I was pleasantly surprised, but I wasnt' about to leave em behind! But if you're happy to have them in your menagerie, I don't see why not!

Forgot to mention the hubby! Even though I have 4 cats and 11 birds, I have a stay at home hubby who takes care of the house - is here to love/interact with the birds and the cats most of the day. And because he does the housework - I in turn get to spend more quality time with everyone!

How many cats do you have
I have 2 keeper inside cats. And a foster Momma and her one kitten, other kitten adopted tonight! Yay! And outside I have 5, Will and Josie, who love me and I can pet. Ferals Jeff, Captain Feathersword, and Tommy. So a total of nine!

And I have a dog, 2 horses, a pony, 3 kids at home and one grown up kid. And 1 very supportive husband. We both work fulltime.

Another idea is to go ahead and adopt out this litter, and become a foster meowmie. Then you can have a new litter whenever you want. Or keep them all, if you can afford it and don't mind scooping a lot of litterboxes! LOL!

We have five cats and one kitten here. Only one of our cats isn't for breeding

We also have Jazz the resident Barrel-Butt too!

Nah nine cats, six dogs aint too many.

Under the cats, mostly.
I just have my boyfriend and he's hard enough work!
I'm busy twisting his arm into getting a couple of cats. It's not taking much twisting though - he's just dying to get to kattensværn to find some moggies. He's very much a cat-person. I hit the jackpot with this man I think!

9 cats.... 6 dogs... if you're a stay at home, you could even live with more, I reckon

Just one cat, Jinx. Hopefully, one day, we'll get Jinx a new friend to play with, but right now I guess he has me to spoil him.

1 spoiled rotten cat and Trav....I'm really trying for another kitten or a puppy. But you can't really have a dog in an apartment.

My two gorgeous kittens Alfie and Max


I would like to have more if I had the time and space, but I don't! Two is the number I feel I can provide the best for at the moment

I have 6 cats and 1 human child.

I say, if you have the time, money and patience, adopt as many as you can. I know some people get carried away (like the one cat-lady with 303 cats) but everyone has a limit. As long as you can clean up after the pets, pay for vet visits and feed them properly, I don't see the problem with having 9!

I live with two amazing kitties...Dexter & Sadie who are brother & sister.

They are wonderful. I adore them.
