So if the cats were well treated and well fed and watered, what exactly was the reson for taking the cats and hauling the lady off?

Ten bucks says it's a middle-aged, lower income white woman. The crazy cat ladies usually fit this stereotype.

zoning laws usually prohibit 100 cats or stuff like having a pet cougar and such.

Nope,
Wasn't me this time either.

Thats kinda what I'm wondering. If I can keep a thousand head of cattle, can't I keep 100 head of cats?

In my experience, two cats are a horde.

EXCELLENT question.

Anyone?

Please note, I am well on my way to being a crazy cat lady.

Yet another conundrum brought to the fore by this, yea, very intriguing, article.

Fascinating stuff here. . .
