I usually just have one cat. It is difficult, but I have my one cat that he'll travel with me if it's appropriate, if I'm not going overseas.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We have one cat. I had eight cats and six dogs in Los Angeles.
If someone was out all day, we wouldn't give them just one cat, because they would be lonely - we would give them two cats.
Take one female cat over a seven-year period. If all the kittens survived and bred, she would be responsible for 21,000 cats - they are such prolific breeders: you can see how important it is to neuter.
Well, when I was a little girl we had 17 cats once. They all lived outside, and they kept having more kittens. My mom made us put little ribbons around each kitten's neck, put them in a wagon, and go door-to-door around the neighborhood to try to give them away.
I am from Brooklyn, NY, so we could not have many pets, but I always had at least two dogs.
I have several dogs and several cats who aren't really mine. In fact, they think that I am theirs. I'd like to have some goats and chickens, but I travel around too much.
I have a significant other and a large, immediate family. No children, thank goodness. And I have a 13-year-old kitty.
They say cats have nine lives. I've had 12 already and I don't know how many more I'll have.
I ruefully admit that if the cat is asleep in my chair - which she regards as hers, of course - I tend to leave her there and take the other one.
Multiple cat households are a good thing.
