Ideally, you should have at least one litter box per cat, plus an extra one. This isn't always feasible for every cat-owner, of course, and it also depends a great deal on the behaviours of the cats involved. Some cats don't mind sharing a litter box, while others absolutely will not do so; some cats won't even urinate and defecate in the same box, and require two! It can be a matter of some trial and error.

∙ 12y agoAs many cats as you want. But don't get so many that you cant afford to pay for them, because then you will have to sell some and you will be sad. Also make sure you can find time for every cat, so don't get 10 if you are only home for a few hours each day. I recommend that you get 1 or 2 cats, and if you can take care of them and want more gradually add cats to your household until you don't want any more or can afford to care for any more.

∙ 10y agoThe real limit here is how many can you take care of? Cats are not entirely trouble-free, they get sick and need to be nursed back to health on occasion; and the more cats you have in a relatively confined space, the more likely a disease is to be passed from one to another. Also, litter and food are not free, and litter boxes must be cleaned regularly -- usually daily. For an adult in good health, probably the maximum reasonable number of cats to the household is six; for a senior, probably one or two is about the limit. Check also with local laws; some municipalities require a license or zoning variance if you intend to keep more than a certain number, often five.
