I have two and I think that's just right for me.
Well, long story short...I used to not fancy cats. However, all that changed and I am never going back!
So...originally, 1 was my limit. I don't even know why I got her but I did! And I'm very happy with her.
Then, my family recused a feral and he is now an indoor cat and so there goes 2. Cat #3 was rescued by my boyfriend out of nowhere. And we just rescued cat #4....
SO, I have four cats and I think my limit is 5. Mind you, they're not all living under one roof, but I do consider them mine as I do provide for them and give them all the TLC their hearts desire.
I live in a 13 room farmhouse on 2 1/2 acres of land... all my cats go outside but they aren't aloud to stay outside all night.
Alright I'm really nosey so I'm just going to ask
People with lots of cats, how big are your houses?
Maybe a better question would be what's your limit per room? Six cats doesn't sound like a lot if you have a huge house or live in the country...in my three room apartment it would be disgusting
