More than 100 cats have been seized from a woman's home in Duluth's West Duluth neighborhood.

The Duluth Animal Control and Animal Allies are asking for the public's help in finding homes for the cats. There are too many to be housed at the local animal shelter.

People can adopt the cats or be foster owners until space becomes available at the shelter.

Authorities say the cats seemed to be OK and had enough food and water.

The woman living with the cats was taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation.

Authorities seized the cats after a complaint by the Department of Human

I plan to get two in the future, but that's it.

That phrase is in the dictionary, under "famous last words."

I don't hate cats and I love women but does anyone know why they never find a hundred cats living with a guy? Why is it always a crazy old woman?

I'm not certain, but everything we grow in SD, animal-wise, is referred to by the head.

You see these stories like once a week nowadays. You would think PETA would step in and save the day, but they've been cutting corners lately. They must only want to save delicious animals.

How many women
are serial killers with
homes filled up with porn?

Some things are guy things,
some things are chick things . . . Girls get
cats and guys get porn . . .

Probably few if any of them were spayed/neutered, and the 100 figure was just a momentary blip in a rapidly rising population. 100 unfixed cats in a home together, ESPECIALLY when well-fed, will easily be 1000 cats within a year. A year ago she probably had fewer than 10. Nothing wrong with heading off a guaranteed disaster before it happens.

I don't know anywhere that you can keep 1000 head of cattle without being subject to regulation by a government agriculture agency. All states have provisions for people to maintain large numbers of cats or dogs, in either a breeding or rescue/shelter facility, but they have to have a license to do it, and meet reasonable requirements aimed at maintaining the health and welfare of the animals.

I can keep 1000 head of cattle scattered across 12,000 acres of open range land in SD.
