I have a small cat family, just me and my two kittens. I'm very curious particularly about those of you who have large cat families (and those of you who have small ones, too!).
I feel that in my current situation two cats is my absolute maximum. I live in a one bedroom apartment and really only have so much time and energy (and financial resources!) to devote to my kits. How do you deal with having a large number of cats (and perhaps other animals) sharing your space? Do you feel you're able to devote enough time to each individual member of your family. I don't mean this in a critical way at all... in fact one day in the future I do hope to have more little ones, it's just not possible at the moment. Do you find it overwhelming sometimes to have so many cats depending on you? How did you come to acquire your various cats? Is there tension between the various animal members of your household? Do you have a favourite cat, one that you're closer to than the others?
I guess I'm mostly curious about the dynamics of your household. Please, tell me the story about your cat-families. And for those of you with small families: is one (or two!) enough? Tell me your story, too!
