How many cats are too many?

Question

I want to collect them all

shorty_samy · Accepted Answer

Well, having 4+ cats at a single time is too much, food, litter, and the extras are expensive, but if you planning to "collect them" span them out in a few months/years. I think 2 is plenty, my family is large, so 2 is enough. It also depends on the cat's behavior and preferences with other cats. Some cats are a single-cat household preferred, but some like multiple cats like a whole litter with different cats together. It really depends if you plan on having multiple at the same time so they get along, avoid fights, or potential mating-

Until you become a cat lady

Just kidding lol. I lovee cats, but you have gotta be practical here. How big is your house? Do you have time to take care of the cats? Do you have what it takes to be a cat mom? Can you train them well?

Decide for yourself.

most kittens I've taken care of is four of them... and till they were three months old or so

very manageable... but I always get them adopted by different families, although must families prefer to have two to three cats

rare to see a family or person with just one cat, or those who have more than four

but yes, I do know exactly what you mean... because I've made calculations and figured that I could be able to keep 27 cats... and keep them all healthy and happy, lol

Cats are great pets.

And I like my women the same way I like my cats...

Independent, not too needy, able to take care of themselves in a pinch and not opposed to favoring more than one Tom in a given evening.

If they’ve got water, food, something to amuse themselves with and a place to go to the bathroom, they can make do.

SteveSmith1985 · Answer

4 cats is too many cats for any household. Unless you live on a farm. If you live on a farm, no more than 6 cats. These are the socially accepted maximum--essentially, these are facts.

You can however, be kinda iffy with only 3 cats. Depending on the rest of your vibe... people might start judging you before you hit the maximum.

jaybee281 · Answer

0 cats at most - I mean if you collect all of them all you would have done was getting yourself in a position where you'd be directly ignored by the entire cat population until they need to eat and only if there is food to give - Now dogs - they're called man's best friend for a reason - You should get one of those

AviatorTom · Answer

Two or three cats in a house or apartment is plenty. I've heard reports of a woman who had 40 cats in her small bungalow. Unfortunately, they were all underweight and mistreated.

If you're going to have a cat (or any animal for that matter), be sure to care for it.

A much more horrifying question:

How many people do you think walk around us, knowing or unknowingly being transgender?
Boys with a penis that never grows hair/is circumcised, who magically prefers boys (was born a girl but thinks he is just homo) - or girls with a pain down under that needs the neovagina they have dilated/stretched so it remains open - who magically prefer girls/thunk they are lesbian?

@whatthefluff Three Cats is the max, unless you have a large house, then maybe 4. There's a lot of people who might need a cat or two in their lives, and cats do love a family environment. It's best to make sure all the good cats have a good home. Always be nice to the strays, they do a hard job.

Adam1978 · Answer

I think 2-3 is the recommended amount. I don't have any but as a kid we had 27 at worst 7 adults and 20 kittens that was a wakeup call. We limited the possibility for felines to make kittens after that.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

In an appartment, 5th floor: ONE would already be too many.
In a rural environment a cat population of several will not harm as long as they can move around freely.
For ''family life'' I'd find two just right.

loveslongnails · Answer

When there's more fur balls than dust in your house, that's too many.
When your house smells like a litter box, that's too many.
When you spend more on cat food, visits to the vet and toys, than you do on make-up and clothes, that's too many.

Since I'm allergic 1 is too many. Which is unfortunate because I like cats and every cat I have been around loves me. Even the meanest cats around like my company for some reason.

ChiPaPa · Answer

There is no magic number. It depends upon your ability to take care of them properly and to make sure they're not neglected. Some people are only able to take care of two, others moreso.
