I have 11. I was down to only seven seniors and I was so happy.
Easy. they have their own section of the house, 2 rooms with a real cat tree and a tram around the wall near the ceiling. Also an attached enclosure ouside.
Then there were 2 feral cats, a mom and baby living under some big machines. Our road was being repaired and I knew when it reopened, they would get killed by a car.
Soooooooo, yes Spot and her baby came in. I lost Spot last February to Chylousperitonium. Beeba, her son, turned to me as his mom. That made 8.
Then, only 1 female barn cat was left. She was pregnant. I knew if she had them in the barn they would be so wild and it would be carnage on the road. My heart could not stand that possibility. Took Slick in, she must not have been totally feral because she tamed down immediately.
She had 6 black and white kittens last March. Found good homes with people I knew for 4 babies. That left Slick and two kittens. Grand total, 11. The good thing is there are no more barn cats, male or female That was my plan to finally after 30 years, not to have any in the barn. No footprints in the snow this year.
Beeba lives in the main area of the house, the rest in the cat area. The window over my sink looks into their area, and I am always back there cleaning or playing with them.
It is a lot of work to keep clean, but I am a fanatic. There is a woman down the road who is a hoarder.
I have been in her home and I vow never to live like that. Nor would I make my DH live that way.
Sorry I ran on, just am trying to explain the number! Great question!
