If the answer is 1 or greater the answer is too many…….

Just the smell from the street should give you a hint.

The day after ours was spayed, she approached the neighbor’s cat as usual. She was so surprised when he swatted her away. He’d been grooming her (heh, heh) and now had no use for her.

Uh oh. A high probability of Toxoplasma gondii!

Can’t be that many, she doesn’t have the gravity feed mounted on the roof.

Kitty Litter.

Wasn’t Kitty Litter a drag entertainer on the Atlanta/Savannah nightclub circuit?

I was in the check out line at a store behind a woman that had four large bags of kitty litter in her cart.

I asked her, “Bengal or Siberian?”

There is no second floor to the house.

That’s the escape route after the second truck arrives.

Oy! This is not the puuuurfect situation

Let’s just say the “Kitty Committee” has a human.

Just think of the people with multiple dogs. They either have to go around their yards (and neighborhoods) and pick up poop or they leave it where it drops. (Why do people complain less about houses that smell of dogs than cats?) They have to arrange for someone to feed and walk their dogs when they work long hours or go away for a weekend. They (and their neighbors) have to listen to the yelps, growls, barks, etc. at odd hours of the day and night. It’s not the pets, it’s the way people take care of (or don’t take care of) their pets that cause the problems.

Grew up on a farm. At one time we has 17 cats (counting the kittens). They were all free range, Mom had a rule, no animals in the house. No problem. They kept the mice population down and were avid bird watchers.

Cats have people..People don’t have cats!!

I had my doubts, the curtains haven’t been shredded.

years ago had 2 indoor/outdoor cats, had kittens and had 8 cats for a ew months, but when they would go out they would bring friends home for dinner…i was feeding 18 cats for a few months and even named a number of the strays

Where’s the truck that takes away the old litter?

She has enough to be a bona fide crazy cat lady.

You really don’t want to know.

All of them.
