What number of cats makes you "crazy?"

[stewball]

the most I've had in one go was 3 and I managed very well with them and then I had 2 and a large dog who arrived as an abandoned puppy age 6 weeks so he didn't know what cats were. Once I let him lose he ran to my lotto and they rubbed noses and then to my gentle - a massive misnomer -

sorry about that hit reply by accident.
A massive misnomer
who gave him a full bodied spit. Not a hiss but a very ladylike spit.
He and lotto loved each other so much. When he died of that worm disease we nearly lost lotto who was pining, not eating or drinking and looking for him and calling him. It took the vet ten days to get him eating and drinking again. I was taking him twice a day to see her.
sorry went off track.

I have two males who I consider my kids. Since I am childfree, my parents jokingly refer to them as their grandkids. The second cat was "unplanned". I picked him up off the street as a kitten. When I adopted him, my parents were against it because they were afraid I was becoming a crazy cat lady (they are pet-free but lean towards dogs). I've stopped at two because it's all I can handle, but I'm still a crazy cat lady to them. On a side note they have bonded with the new cat and accept him as a member of the family.

It depends on the cats too, one of mine is hell on wheels, he goes around looking for things to break.

You can be crazy with one cat. It breaks my heart that well meaning people adopt a cat with no thought as to how to provide for it. No money to spay, no money for emergency vet visits. Becoming a caregiver is more than a big bag of meow mix, and some people just don't understand that, all they see is that cute kitten, it breaks my heart![emoji]128148[/emoji]

My mom also laughs about having "grand-cats".

Crazy Cat Person:

One who has more than one cat and never leaves the confines of their household.  Yup that would anyone bat*hit crazy!

Hence why you should also own a dog!

My two won't eat meow mix.

The correct answer is "0". Not owning a cat makes you crazy unless you have allergies of course!

I sometimes joke around with friends/family about me being on my way to becoming a crazy cat lady because I'm single, don't have kids, and have had up to 3 cats at one time but I'm really just kidding about it.  To me a crazy cat lady is someone who has more than she can handle and the place stinks...kind of like a hoarder as others have mentioned.  I also don't think it's necessarily the number of cats, but how much they take over your life and you start becoming a recluse or something, not socializing with people.

I do agree that people with multiple dogs are not frowned upon as much as us cat people.  I used to work with a woman who had 5 dogs & 4 cats and nobody thought of her as crazy.  I was just amazed they all got along.

Well if the Crazy Cat Lady action figure that Amazon sells is any indication - the number is apparently 6 cats....

My question is - they don't sell a "Crazy Cat Man" action figure set, so I guess I can have as many cats as I want and still not be crazy?

Though the truth is, I walk Makena all the time - which qualifies me as crazy by some standards.....

if you want a cat but are afraid to be labeled a crazy cat lady for having one, then the number is "0".

I'm far saner for having a cat, myself.

 

[tabbysia]

I want that action figure!

There was a lady at work one time that dressed up for Halloween as a crazy cat lady. She had her hair in rollers and wore a robe that she had attached stuffed cats to, and she completed the ensemble with a pair of cat slippers. It was pretty funny, but it makes me wonder if people perceive me that way. I do spend most weekends lounging on the couch in my pajamas, hanging out with the kitties, and yes--I do talk to them.

I think that male persons get crazy status by outsider right when they even show slightest interest in cats, yet alone have one!


I think that those cat figures look actually quite nice and well done, they don't happen to sell those alone?

I did count 8 cats in both of those, there is a green cat, even it looks more like frog and also black cat at bottom, 2nd one has better looking cats, imo.

Remember not to search for "Cat figurine", too many cute things, must, resist...
