How many cats are too many?

Answer 1

Well I had 5 but 1 I was looking after for a while. It was a struggle because there was hardly enough money for cat food. The owner came and took his

cat, which left me with 4. That was alright but money was still tight. One of my male cats ran away, so that left me with 3 cats. This was better because they can share one tin between three cats. 5 and 4 cats are a bit too many in my household for my budget, but it depends on your own income.

The number of cats you can care for directly corresponds to how much space you have in your house, and how much you earn. Ideally, you should be able to afford all the things a cat needs, which includes any emergency/unplanned trips to the vet and medication. If you are struggling to feed your cats(s) enough food each day, it would be kinder to give them away to someone who can afford their care.

Answer 2

10

Depends on how she treats the cats. She could have only one and be considered crazy for treating it like a child (dressing it up, feeding it with a spoon, etc.). If she talks to it as though it's a person, that, too, would be cause for considering her a crazy cat lady.

Or, she could have 15 and be considered perfectly sane, if she keeps the litter boxes clean, as well as keeping her home clean, too. Well, assuming she doesn't talk to them like people, and doesn't isolate herself with just her cats for company.

But it could also depend on a person's definition of "crazy".

Answer 3

The answer to this question can vary based on individual circumstances, such as living space, resources, and ability to care for the cats. Generally, having more cats than you can provide proper care for or that negatively impacts their well-being could be considered too many cats.

Answer 4

At least 20. ^^ (lol)

Answer 5

if she's crazy then, more than 200

Answer 6

Because cats keep me company.
