I would really like to see that be we don't get that show here. Please let me know if you find a clip anywhere.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing this. I watch AP a lot but never watched any of the hoarder programs, they are really hard to watch. I don't know who I feel more sorry for, the hoarders or the animals...for me it's just so sad.

You could theoretically keep dozens of cats if you had the right system. It's just a matter of how much time and energy you are willing to devote to them.Originally Posted by AddieBee
On my way to my colonoscopy no less, my sister has me "trapped" in her car and starts lecturing me about how many cats I have and what is going to happen to them and please don't take in anymore... .blah, blah, blah......
I have seven. I am trying to rehome Casper b/c I know he'd be much happier as an "only". I haven't pulled or taken in any cats in over a year. If I am successful, that makes six. If my BF hadn't asked (begged) me to keep two others, that would make four.
It really ticked me off. Cats are not that hard to take care of.
I watched this video as well....... he clearly loved his cats, individually gave them what they needed most important being medical attention, and even states that he would have more IF he had the space, so he knows his limits. Not just the oldest kitty in the world, but 2! Also 12 or even 20 doesn't compare to 256.Originally Posted by bwanapaka

Have you guys seen the southpaws documentary on youtube?
This guy has loads of cats and one of them lived to be the oldest house cat on record.
Clearly he was caring for them properly.
Thanks! I missed it on the Today Show. So I'll watch it tomorrow night. Will I need a box of tissues?Originally Posted by farleyv
On tomorrow night at 9 on AP
Good for you and Kailie and EVERYONE who cares for multiple kitties!!! If they are kept clean and happy and healthy then what's the problem? I think hoarders just get so overwhelmed with their situation. The animals suffer, unless they are rescued and can be rehomed.Originally Posted by AddieBee

Mine as well. I am content at 3 right now. If he wasn't around, I may have 1-2 more than that, but I would never take on more than I could handle myself.Originally Posted by kscatlady
DH thinks I'd be a hoarder if it weren't for him, but I know I could never lose sight of my kitties' quality of life. I would know my limit for sure.
