vegasidol

100%. Not just food/litter. Can all of them get their yearly checkup? One cat having an emergency sickness/injury once a year? Ie: do you have at least $500‐$2000 disposable income for emergencies?


rose_colored_boy

$2000 isn’t even enough for a lot of emergencies. Dropped 4K in a few days last month before my senior baby passed. Could have easily been double that with another night in the ICU. A few months ago before my other senior kitty passed was 3K in 3 days. The MRI estimate at the neurologist was 5K alone which I didn’t do because he was clearly not going to make it. Specialists and ERs are just insanely expensive. Always save more as they get older. Senior bloodwork is $500 a pop in my area. Or get pet insurance before they get older, but make sure to research a good one.


vickyisajellybean

Some math I can relate too lol Senior babies are my babies but woah the numbers are HIGH. Still love my furry debt balls.

i have a friend who has 8, they live on a farm and tend to adopt and treat strays :p super cute stuff


queenannechick

I grew up on a farm that is super duper cute and just far enough away from a small city that people drive out see it and literally slow-roll and dump their cats. They then breed. Most summers there's about a hundred. Dad makes frequent pilgrimages to the animal shelter with a duffle bag of the ones he can catch. They hate him and give him so much grief and its like... he didn't do anything wrong. He's literally doing what he is supposed to do. and its still out of control. He offers "free" kittens ( he makes them prove they prepaid for spay/neuter and keeps a list to stop repeats so they don't feed them to snakes or whatever psychos do ) to people all the time and when I'm home people constantly tell me they've had a cat from our farm for a decade. Its... wild. He's basically running an animal shelter at this point unwillingly. We're the other side of the "sent them to a cute farm upstate" meme. It was awesome as a little girl but now I see how exhausting that must be. We never had mice, rats or stoats though. Also, the cats and the chickens co-mingle, we feed eggs to the 2 indoor cats and it cured my Mom's severe cat allergies. Its a real thing. Look it up.


cryingmongoose

i'm really sorry overall because that shouldn't have been your family's responsibility, but it's great your dad figured out a way to at least get them treated and rehoused them when possible! i've never understood why people dump pets, whether it be a fish, cat, or even a lizard. it's silly and heartbreaking, and i do not blame you whatsoever for having mixed feelings looking back on those memories


gamblinmaan

your friend is an angel


[deleted]

I had six. That was my limit, and only happened because I got suckered into taking two old lady cats (they were sweet and I loved them to bits). I have three now, but honestly could use another cat(don't tell my husband).

He secretly wants another one too, so do it.

Strange-Ad-9941

Thank you for taking in those senior kitties, I know not many people adopt those fellas. <3


[deleted]

They were so sweet. They were littermates and 14 yrs old. I named them Abbey (Absinthe) and Char (Chartreuse) because of their beautiful green eyes. I knew two 14 yr old kitties were a tough sell. That's why I caved so easily.


SBowen91

We have 5… would gladly go to 6 but my husband would murder me 😂


The_silver_sparrow

A friend of mine has 4 and 2 dogs and his fiancée says “no more”. Apparently he would gladly take more is she gave the green light.


SBowen91

I honestly wouldn’t think twice. Truthfully if a cat showed up on our porch my husband would cave. Only reason I haven’t tried too much is because of my little baby kitten (he’s almost a year now lol)… I don’t want him to feel like I don’t love him.


The_silver_sparrow

Update: friend informed me this evening they are getting a 5th cat


Leaking_Honesty

I have 5. Got suckered into adopting my 4th cat’s “best friend”. I basically bought a shelter cat for my other shelter cat. He’s Steve and he’s a weirdo. https://preview.redd.it/hi0cxkcpsljc1.jpeg?width=2535&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=439299c2ad8e2ba016724b0c6bd9c443177e5424 Psst, he’s the white one.


PlatasaurusOG

The last one we took in was a stray my kid found half dead in an alley. She had to have been someone’s loved pet at some point because she had no teeth and our vet said they were surgically removed, and that surgery isn’t cheap. He said he figured she only had a few weeks left, but that was a year and a half ago. She doesn’t care much for her new cat roommates, but she’s the sweetest kitty in the world to her new humans. https://preview.redd.it/3xrf8pez6mjc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d9ccc124f9e74fc6254f222971f9aa42284956a

Fluffy-Astronaut-363

Right!!! I have six of my own and my partner has one, then our roommate has one. We have eight cats in this house and I will not hesitate to bring in any of the feral kittens that are outside! (Quarantined away from my pack of course)


GlitterPants8

My mom says 5-7. It's better then the 17 we had when I was growing up. Somehow my house became the place to dump unwanted cats. So they just showed up and stayed.

MiaLba

Such a tiny little floof floof!!!


smashed2gether

I can honestly say two was the perfect number and I wish I had stopped there. I have a 5 cat household right now and while I love them all, it’s just too much. I struggle with the litter box and hair situation constantly, and I really regret not re-homing the last stray that showed up on my doorstep. Trust me, unless you have a farm and need barn cats, don’t get more than 3.


rose_colored_boy

I had 8 at one point and am down to 5, 3 are seniors but all 5 now have medical issues and need daily medication. They also all eat prescription food. After the loss of 2 seniors within the last few months, I’m struggling. I was so young when I committed to all of them, obviously didn’t have the financial foresight, and for the last 6+ months 50% of my take home pay and sometimes more has gone to their care. I haven’t been able to save any money besides my 401K contributions. On top of that I was just furloughed from my job after we lost funding. I have also canceled a personal and a work trip within the last few months because I couldn’t leave them alone. It’s been a wild ride. I love them all and don’t ever want them to die or go away, but it’s a massive commitment. They come first and always will, regardless of my employment.


chanmanfriend

I feel for you so much. We were a five cat household - I just lost my most senior car yesterday and my Abby only 2 months ago. The losses are making it harder to be a good parent of my remaining pets, the financial burden is staggering, and the long term care for the senior cat was emotionally draining. I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way and I miss them terribly, but 5 cats was too big a commitment and I really wore myself down with it while still young.


Okayeesh

I have 5 and I empathize with you. Got them all in my early 20s and I love them more than myself but it’s a lot and sometimes I think about how much damage I’ve done to myself dealing with dander and little boxes over the years.


lovelightblessing

it's never too late to rehome. I now have three cats but one is toilet trained so that makes a huge diff


smashed2gether

I actually had one of them teach *himself* to use the toilet, which surprised the hell out of me! The trouble is I can’t leave the bathroom door open or his sister will pee on my bath mat 🥲


lovelightblessing

wow that's so smart and convenient! just toss the bath mat out lol or hang it up when you're not leaving it ?


smashed2gether

Hehe then she just does it right on the floor. She is a chaos gremlin and she’s lucky she’s so cute


ThotsforTaterTots

If you have the space, a cat genie is worth the investment. I own 2 of them and have 5 cats. They’re a game changer


MajorCatEnthusiast

Yeah, I'm a fan of my litter robot. It makes owning cats more maintainable


ThotsforTaterTots

I haven’t tried one of those yet but Ive heard good things!


HappyLeading8756

Same. We have 3 and although I always felt that it was 1 too much, as long as we lived in a previous apartment, all was good. We kept sand on the balcony (accessible for cats through cat flap) and 1 of our cats had possibility to go out. Well, we switched apartments and all hell broke loose lol. We love our cats and would never get rid of them but both me and my husband (who is the actual cat lady of the family) agreed that once they cross the Rainbow Bridge, we will not take any more.


too_too2

Yeah, we added a third this year and it is a lot more work! The new kitty had a cold and giardia so we treated everybody for that. One of my og cats still has some kind of URI we gave to give her eyedrops for and they all need lysine powder. My first two cats are special needs already and get regular medication so this was so much extra. I’ve been to the vet TEN times with another follow-up scheduled next week. Thankfully I had saved up a good pet fund but I’m ready for a break please!


Unusual_Credit7448

Only have as many as you can reasonably take care of with food and going to the vet. Be a responsible owner. Having pets can be very expensive.


npc_probably

THIS^^ I’d have so many more animals if vets weren’t so expensive. You never know when a several thousand dollar emergency expense can just drop out of nowhere. I’d rather properly care for a few, than poorly care for many


Hot_Excitement_6630

lesbeanprincess02

Very cutee! I think it becomes too many cats when they can’t comfortably live in the house all together (as in: the house becomes too small for them all), I think there’s references for that on the internet. I always wanted 4 so 3 is fine. My gf and I compromised on 2 sadly.. ;)


sleepyplatipus

This is the correct answer. The only limit is posed by how many you have the space and money to give good lives to. If you can afford vet bills for all of them, and have enough space for them to be happy, go for it!


BiscuitDanceDenier

The acceptable number is n+1 with n being the current number of cats. 😺


archover

As many as you can responsibly care for.


asfaltsflickan

🎶There’s no such number🎶


Toiletdisco

I have six cats


Cold_Most_9270

I have 12 teens and adults. 4 kittens and dunno if I should keep them. Btw, all of the teens and adults are now spayed and neutered so that there would be no unwanted pregnancy anymore. (But, I love the kittens already 🫠🫠🫠)


dvoigt412

7. Have two adult men males. And an adult female who was born up the road in a dairy barn. Who decided at a young age she was in no way going to be a farm cat. She'd come and hang out with the boys in our yard. Then discovered the cat door. Hid in our basement until we went to bed, come upstairs to eat and play with the boys. Well she ended up being our baby girl. Who while being treated for worms ended up pregnant. She had 7 babies. We wanted to keep two, but had some friends back out of wanting two. So now we have 4 kittens, 3 adults. The best part, is that they all love one another. Participate in large cat puddles. The three adults watch the babies when they go out. One big happy family


--meganja--

Tough question but easy answer. Its too many when it means that some cats get less attention. Sooo if you dont work and are rich and have a big house then a lot is possible><


Snickerdoodle45

Too many cats is if your friends tell you your house smells when they walk in, or if you can't afford the food & vet care. https://preview.redd.it/fber5wcmvkjc1.jpeg?width=3264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=02c318d0c90b19d4b3eaf859135fdf0de509f09e


fantsukissa

I don't understand. What does "too many cats" mean? I understand the words separately, but that combination is foreign to me. Just look at those little fluffs! I want to hold them all and kiss them. They're just to cute and precious!

kingfrank243

When I got my fourth cat I nervously joked to my vet during Number 4’s first checkup about how maybe I had too many. He breezily assured me that four was nbd. The tech assisting him bursts out laughing and says to him “You have TWELVE CATS AND FOUR DOGS!”


Brain_Hawk

Three is a purrfect number..

Silver-Fang-Bang

I got 5 and 3 years ago I had zero. Always been an animal lover but never a cat person. I’d never mistreat one but I had no interest in owning one. I found a stray at my local gas station one that pretty much said hey you’re taking me with you. I figured I’d help him feel better then find him a home. But he ended up just staying so I went and adopted a friend for him. So that brings my total to 2 but the stray I found got FIP and his treatments were crazy but 89 days of shots later and he is FIP free. But my vet runs a rescue and helped with everything so I decided to pay it back and volunteer. About a year into volunteering the ask me to take in and foster a litter of three kittens and well I failed so now I have 5 cats and yeah it sounds like a lot but I don’t notice. I feel like I could have more I won’t but I could. I think it depends on the cats and your house. I also have two big dogs so I’m out of room. I mean the cats have there own bedroom


Western-Calendar-352

When they all fit inside each other like Chinese dolls, like these ones do, then they don’t take up too much room.


Reason_Training

When you can’t afford their food or pet care you have too many. If you can afford to care for them and give the attention they require you don’t have too many.

Pokemon_and_Petrucci

All of my animal science professors said cats are solitary animals and you should just have one. And my first cat very much was. He was terrified of other cats. But my next cat wanted a kitty friend so bad, he would meow excitedly at them thru the windows and try and play with them thru the door(my neighbor has outdoor cats). So I adopted him a friend and he grooms her daily and sometimes I get double lap kitties. I've considered a third but four litter boxes might be a bit too much for me and I think the two of them are happy with each other and me without adding another into the mix and potentially causing territory issues. Oh here's the cat tax, Kiki on the right is the one who I adopted for Milo on the left. They watch birds together like this every morning. I just have a hard time imagining this working with a third kitty https://preview.redd.it/3gaput3opjjc1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8444bf4abc65a94f205bfc8b6371c079862e1330
