Cat Forum / General Topics / February 2004how many cats is too many?
im wondering how many cats is too many??? >*** post for FREE via your newsreader at post.newsfeed.com *** > >im wondering how many cats is too many??? Three. I have two, one male, one female. I brought in a third cat on an emergency basis, the female acted like she was on the enterprise and the klingons just beamed on board. I would have thought she would be happy that I took in an abandoned cat who needed a home. Nope. She wasn't a happy camper. -------------------------------------------- "It took us 15 years to McGyver this thing." -------------------------Carter on Stargate To send me e-mail exorcise NO Spam from my e-mail address. > >im wondering how many cats is too many??? > Three.

Three is not the magic number, it was how you did it that was the problem Ze alluring ailurophile at zekatlady@aol.commiescum wrote on1/16/04 5:06 AM: > im wondering how many cats is too many??? Well, you've gotten some good responses already. My first thought was that even one is clearly too many for some, and others seem to be limited only by their available resources of space, time, and money. The only productive comment I have to offer is that it makes a lot of difference whether they are littermates, or whether you are introducing new cats into your household.

I'm the same; I spend a lot of time at the local Cats Protection shelter (www.cats.org.uk) where I adopted my gorgeous Missy from, and it's so sad to see them in their pens. Too many people only seem to want kittens, when there are so many older cats with so much love to give. They are *extremely* well looked after there though, and there's a strict no kill policy :-) There's one poor soul there at the moment with brain damage, amongst other things he has trouble keeping his tongue in his mouth, but he's *so* sweet and deserves more. I'd adopt 'em all too, if I could...

I'm all the way in Canada though and it would probably cost an arm and a leg to get him here. Poor kitty. Tina I had Two dogs (Keeshonds) and three cats at one time and found that to be quite enough. It was very entertaining we all used to go to the park at the end of the block ... everyone toodling along. We are animal free at the moment but working on two kittens and that's going to be it ;) Bill > *** post for FREE via your newsreader at post.newsfeed.com *** > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > -----== 100,000 Groups! - 19 Servers! - Unlimited Download! =----- > SignatureIn Memory of Biggles www.1cooperfamily.com > I had Two dogs (Keeshonds) and three cats at one time and found that to > be quite enough.

I will not replace her and just go on attrition. 8 was too much so I will try to take it back down to 4 or 5 by attrition. I can't give enough proper attention and love to 8. LT |
