and having one on your knee when you're in the toilet! My late gentle did that.The most I've had at one time is 6 cats too.
In terms of animals I've had 6 cats; 5 cats 1 horse; gradually down to 2 cats, 1 dog, 1 horse; 2 dogs 2 cats; 2 dogs, 3 cats(one of which is semi feral), 2 horses etc. 5 or 6 animals total seems average for this house. Currently it's 2 indoor cats, 1 semi feral cat, 2 dogs, 1 pony. I guess you'd call me a crazy animal lady :lol3:
And yes, crazy cat lady means not
moving because that cat's asleep on me, not getting into bed for fear of disturbing a cat, getting up halfway through a meal because the cat is hungry...you get the picture
Its official then..[emoji]128513[/emoji] my cat loves to do this. Of course, he's so long that it's both knees, and both legs hanging over.and having one on your knee when you're in the toilet! My late gentle did that.
She was petite and would curl up so I could still read. Blush.Its official then..[emoji]128513[/emoji] my cat loves to do this. Of course, he's so long that it's both knees, and both legs hanging over.
Oh, stewb all, that's funny. Robin stretches n purrs, then slides off my lap like a slinky toy, at which point my bare legs are fair game for nips and rabbit kicks. [emoji]128576[/emoji]She was petite and would curl up so I could still read. Blush.

No, you read it correctly. "They NEED me", she would say, whenever we tried to reason with her. She was mentally ill. Think of the Hoarder TV shows on cable TV. Unfortunately, it was cats that she hoarded. And the neighbors didn't help by finding strays and throwing them over her fence.
68? is that a typo?
Wow. Do you have to help her with all of those kitties or does someone live with her who does? That's a lot of work. She must really love cats. I couldn't imagine having that many. 3 is my max in my current situation.
I guess so. The most I have had at any one time has been 6.
Now Mother-in-law had 68. This was not well, and infuriating to us to have to deal with it.
No, she passed in March 1999. We were left to clean up the mess. As I said, she was mentally ill. And she only got about $750 a month in SS, which she spent mostly on the cats. Ma used to be a very clean person, but when her gigolo husband left her after she got too old, she let herself go. Said gigolo was three years younger than my husband's brother, who was three years younger than my husband. It didn't help that she lived more than an hour's drive away from us. We tried to move her into a place closer to us, but she would have none of it.

Ma was living in an area that SHE thought was good, but her neighbors "were the salt of the earth" as in 'hillbillies'. I don't know how to describe a remote area like this. We have 'Hoot Owl Ridge', 'Hog Valley' and other communities like that similarly named. Those communities are very closed, and do not like outsiders.@AngelinaCat
I can quite understand you not forgiving her but she she 'wasn't all there'.
However I don't understand why she wasn't reported to the animal authorities as she should have been. It could have been done anonymously.
