I used to have FIVE cats and I live alone. Sadly, nature took its course over time and I now have THREE. When my friends/workmates etc chat about pets, they never blink an eye when I mention my three so it seems that this is quite a normal number of pets which many people can cope with reasonably well. As Squirrel says, it is highly subjective, what you consider to be too many. Don't worry about your little bro's comments. For all we know, he might be jealous.  |

The most I ever had at one time was 3, that seems like an ideal number to me. But Leia is determined to be an only cat now that she's outlasted her two companions ........  |

Oh don't get me started. As long as YOU are happy with the pets you have, that's all that matters  I get it all the time from my mum. As long as my pets are looked after and receive vet treatment, I don't see that it matters how many I have. (I only have 2 rabbits and a kitten, but apparently that's too many lol) |

As long as your cats are happy with how many you have  and you have the space, time and resources to care for them, it's no one else's business! |

I have had 7 cats at any one time, 4 of my own and 3 foster kitts in a 2 bed semi with access to outside, lovely neighbours and fields to play in. But they were mostly perfectly chilled out and fine and happy except for Katie who chose to live with a neighbour. I now work from home and the 4 have dwindled to 2. No one has the right to say how many is 'too many', sometimes it's the people whose coping skills with animals isn't all that, shall we say 'patient' or experienced who disagee on that one! I agree with the general consensus on this thread which is that as long as the animal has all their needs, wants, and desires catered for and are kept in good health, it really does NOT matter. You are giving that cat a happy home. |
