You start out thinking Multi-Cat Households are cute - Until, like me, you get home from work one day, to find 7 of your precious babies (the males - who will be having the snip very soon! lol, maybe that'll calm them down) are absolutely drenched, meowing pitifully, and have flooded not only their portion of the house, but the portion of the house with your 14 others (females & the non-intact - I may be busy at work, but I don't want anymore cats and am very, very careful to keep them separate) who are doing their best climbing onto every above ground surface they can find.
Your first concern isn't for the house of course - it's for your babies, who are terrified and potentially have burnt toes or noses, because of course, they'd have to turn the HOT water on now wouldn't they?! Grrr, to top it off, they now need baths, and they are the worst to bath, because one is 5kg, and seriously - he is STRONGER THAN ME! He wins 9/10 when he wants to, although usually he is a calm cat, of course he has to be, he knows he has the power (big strong ginger brat).
So in between getting them sorted, cleaning the house, I have pitiful meowing from the culprits, the girls are looking on in shock as if to say "Why did you do that for?", and my big Buddah boy Jaszper is rotating around my ankles, because that boy has a serious eating problem and of course the flooding hasn't put him off his want of good & attention lol
I adopted him big (2 years old and all fat - I swear, he is probably 6 or 7kg easy) and he always wants food (I only feed my cats dry food, usually optimum as it sits right with the tummies of the ones with the genetic nutritional problems - in fact, that & royal canin SAVED THE LIVES of some of my kittens before we realized the problem. optimum is just easier to find, although not as good as royal canin.) I love my cats but gee they can be brats sometimes.
