Jeepers you win! I only have 6 indoor cats now. My daughter took her cat to live with her in Austin this past weekend. Otherwise we would have 7. We wanted to have 10 by now. Just can't find strays everywhere like we used to. All of our cats were strays except the Siamese, which we bought. Newest one is Carl. He was about 4 weeks old and dumped on a BUSY street. Last one before that was Sambo. Found him in an LA alley in 2002. He was 1.5 week old and 6.5 oz. Now he is about 20 lbs. And he plays with Carl. The rest of the cats are pretty old. We thought we should get a new one about once every two years so they don't all die at the same time. When one dies it takes me a LONG time to get over it. They are my babies.
My cats are the results of people dumping pregnant females down my road.
and one friend having to move home unexpectly and adding her fixed cats to my group.
ANNNND one of said 'tomcats' in the group being mis-gendered and birthing a litter.
Yeah, I love mine too. Even Lizzie Borden and Witchblade.
