You want the real answer or the acceptable answer?

The acceptable answer is 2, the real answer is YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY! :meow:

Probably 10, there is no set amount, but city bylaw here is like 6 I think.

I was waiting for the Prettykitty opinion 🤣

I have a cat and I really love him, so my (only possible) answer is: you can have as many as you want, just be sure that you can love every single of them and take care of them as you should.

How is one cat too much work?  You just feed it and scoop the litterbox every 3 days, the only thing that would take less effort to raise is a plant.

Clearly you haven't met my cat. He was a stray and is jumpy AF, he yowls constantly, he sheds his own body weight in fur over 2-3 days, there is a neighbourhood cat trying to kill him (the evil one) that I have to try and protect him from, and I have to keep letting him in and out because the catflap I bought is microchip operated, and......he isn't microchipped because haven't figured out how to get him in the carrier to take him to the vet. The only way he could be more effort is if he started inviting his friends over to party.

My grandmother had about six cats, and when my grandfather passed away our family had to take some away from her because she could barely take care of herself let alone the animals. We left her with one cat, and the others were distributed to members of our family.

3 is the max amount of cats you should have.

Or 1 dog and 2 cats

Lmao I've never heard of a microchip operated cat flap, that's brilliant.  Yeah, if it's an indoor/outdoor cat, that makes it more complicated.

Yeah, I thought the microchip operated was the best option because there's an evil cat who keeps trying to attack our boy, and if the door's open he walks into our house like he owns the place, so need to keep that bastard out.

For me 2 cats is too much, i love them but with the furniture destruction i think 1 is good

[zerocool]

How many cats is too many? I'm a crazy cat lady and I currently have six cats. I love them all dearly, but sometimes I feel like I'm running a cat shelter! Is there such thing as too many cats?

Sorry to say but 0 is goiod number, only because had a few issues with the local cats here so I'm not a fan of them at all.
Not sure how you cope with 6 though.

[bevc]

My cats would bring snakes in from outside, so I guess the cat door still isn't smart enough to stop that.

Do they drop them at your feet as if they're bringing you a nice gift? Ours did that with a vole the other day, and like, yeah, THANKS dude, appreciate the dead rodent, just what I always wanted.

[Charlie Sheen]

I'd have to agree here

Honestly I think 2 should be the limit for any pet except for fish.

[Charlie Sheen]

Could get expensive if you got two massive dogs

I have 1 dog, 1 cat, and 6 fish.

Dogs do get expensive, went to visit my grandfather a few weeks ago and he has 6 dogs. I couldn't believe it. Think he said he spends $40/day on food for them might have been $60.

[Koyote]

Anything more than two is a sign of something not being quite right. Cannot be healthy.

[Vitani's Mate]

Probably 5 is basically stretching it.
Taking care of 5 pets is a bit of a handful.
