I have 4 cats, I'm one trip to the animal shelter away from being a crazy cat lady. :-P
When I got the 4th one last year (Steve), I wanted to take home another 3 or 4...
I once took a stray to the vet to have him checked over and came home with him plus 3 more kittens that had been abandoned. I already had 5 at home, lol.0 -
Definitely NOT a cat lover. I don't know what it is about them but they just seem sneaky and that they are plotting something at all times.
Heh, my husband felt the same way, until we got ours. Now he just dotes on the cat.0 -
4 cats...each one crazier than the next....lol. Love them all !
Same way in my house. Chowder is the oldest, and the only boy kitty, then there's Misty, then Lola (a feral who never got used to us and is lose in our room), and Miracle. Mira is the craziest of them all, so full of life, maybe because she almost died and got a second chance and she is surely living it to the fullest! (I didn't realize she was as young as she was when we found her so she wasn't being fed correctly. The emergency vet told us 5 more minutes and she would've been dead when we got her there. I've never prayed so hard in my life. They didn't expect her to pull through because over an hour & a half on the sugar drip and she still wasn't really responding, when normally they said it only takes 20 minutes. But she made it. I swore that if she made it I was gonna call her Miracle. Her full name is Miracle Hope, we call her Mira for short.) Each kitty has their own quirks and weird habits. Chowder smacks the water in the bowl and runs away from it, and he tries to "cover" his food when he's done with it. Misty licks plastic bags but is absolutely terrified of them when they make any noise, Lola, well, she is just crazy. She will lay on my legs, but she won't let me touch her. And Mira... Mira runs all over the house with no reason, tail all puffy. She will jump repeatedly at an invisible spot on the wall, and will try to ride on the backs of Chowder and Misty. She will also lay on her back and smack at Misty's face, or grab it with both her paws and try to pull on it.
And if I could afford it, I would so take in more cats. My husband and I just love them! They fill our life with such joy and so much laughter. Even when they are bad, we just can't stay mad at them. They just make us smile. As for what somebody else said about they seem like they're always plotting something... that's part of a cat's charm. They either always sleeping, or looking for something to pounce on or play with. Or some mischief to get into. Love it!0 -

Major cat lover here, but only have 1.
I spent the last 2.5+ years getting allergy shots just so I could be around them (had them as a kid), and was finally able to save one from a shelter in January. He's the most crazy cat I've ever been around. Totally thinks he's human and so much fun.
Feel free to add a fellow cat lover. I have some of his pics in my profile, too.
looks like a marbled bengal. . . proly why its crazy and acts like people :-p0 -

We love dogs too, but sadly don't have the time to properly care for one.0 -
I grew up with 2 cats (I'm 20) Remy and Murph although we sadly lost Remy to kidney failure on Christmas Day 2010
Still miss you little man :brokenheart:
We still have Murph who is my beautiful baby and I love him LOTS although I've just moved out for the first time and we're not allowed a cat in our apartment!
Still go to my Mum and Dad's for cuddles though :laugh:0 -

Love cats! We show and raise Himalayans and Persians (Archadtz Himalayans & Persians)... No, I am not a crazy cat lady, but couldn't live without my babies, and am proud to say that we have cats all over the world now, and we are producing some of the top chocolate colored cats in Canada

Four Cats Here!!!0

I has a kitteh and she runs my house. She does, however, allow me to live here on the condition that I feed her every now and again :P0

I have had cats ever since I was in the womb, literally. My parents had a cat that, according to my mother, when I would tart kicking he'd lay on my stomach and purr me to sleep.
Currently have 3 cats, 2 of them were rescued literally off my front porch within months of each other. I almost had a 4th, a cat that used to belong to a neighbor that they threw out (the neighbor's mom had him but no one wanted him after she died so out he went) and by the time I had the money to get him his shots to bring him inside he'd already contracted Feline Leukemia. It killed me to put him down. I also feed the cat that lives across the street because her owners don't let her inside after their youngest was born (some superstitious crap because the baby's twin died since they were 2 months premature) and they don't feed her.
The three I have are Tobi, a 5 year old Chartreuse, Annie, a 4 year old Applehead Seal-Point Siamese, and Pip a 3 1/2 year old orange and white tabby shorthair mix. Tobi is afraid of everything despite being a huge cat, Annie is the ruler of the house and actually took over a beanbag chair I got for Christmas two years ago and made it her bed, and Pip is mute. Pip also has the ability to jump upwards of 6 feet from the ground and can stand up on his hind legs with no problem.
I love cats. I regularly donate to animal shelters and plan to volunteer with one that is all-cats where you get to not only do the dirty work but "socialize" or play with them. I don't believe in putting a cat outside or even letting them out for short spurts, I always spay/neuter, and yes I declaw (only the front). The reason I do is because I have tried the alternatives like the caps and scratching posts and no cat I've had has ever taken to them. Plus I have a mother who has thin blood and if she's cut or scraped she can bleed pretty profusely and it can be dangerous.
And I'll quit rambling. Short story of it is: I love cats, always have and will. I'll never have a house without at least 2 cats. They're entertaining, full of personality, and can be as loyal as any dog if you treat them right.0 -
I have 2 cats Loki and Isis. I love cats so much and would like more but it's just too much work for me right now. I promised my bf I wouldn't get more until we get a house lol!. Feel free to add me!0

I was like that for a long time. My mom and I used to think having two cats was a strain, then my 16 year old cat died and it was too lonely with one so we got a 4 month old cat. Not even a year later a 1 month old shows up on our doorstep after a huge thunderstorm and after going through the ordeal at the vet with her for all her first shots, fecal test, and whatnot we ended up keeping her. 5 months after my mom's cat died another kitten showed up, same age. It's a handful especially with the litterbox but I think if you have the room and the time 3 isn't so much different than 2.0 -

It's funny how they show up when they are meant to be in your life. My first cat, Meowy, jumped in our car from my grandparents barn and my dad and I didn't bother to try to get her out. I was about 4 maybe. My mom said I used to carry her around the farm like a ragdoll, and she just loved it. We had to put her down at the ripe old age of 18 after she suffered a heart attack and stroke. She had kittens once, and my parents got rid of one, three more ran away, and we were left with one. I named her after my best friend at the time, Amy. I don't remember how long we had her before she was hit by a car. In 7th grade I begged and pleaded and cried to my mom to take one of my teacher's kittens she told us about. I'm 26 now and we still have him. He is the only one we have who still goes outside. He is the biggest baby. Scared of everything. I have lost so many cats to the road (my mom wouldn't let me keep any of them inside all the time) that I will not let any of them (except Chowder) outside anymore. Fought Misty on her desire to go out for years. But now that she's older she doesn't really try anymore. We saved a feral from outside. She showed up as a kitten, and the male cats started crawling out of the woodwork after her until we finally caught her, had her spayed, and brought her inside. My mom can't believe I have her in the house. She says it is no life for her, but it's better than her being outside to be coyote food. or to catch all kinds of diseases and die a slow painful death. Right now, Chowder and our dog are the only animals we have that we actually sought. And the dog still kind of fell into our life. A friend was moving and couldn't take him so she asked if anybody I knew would take him. Misty was found running down the middle of a local road on the hottest day of the summer, Lola (the feral) showed up, Mira showed up at 3 weeks old. And other cats we lost to the road just fell into my life too. My baby, Chloe, I raised her from 2 weeks old. She was found alongside a road, waiting for her mommy to come get her as she was relocating the litter. Chloe was the last baby, and her mommy was hit by a car coming back for her. Sammy, a friendly adult siamese mix cat, was a drop off at our house. He was Misty's buddy, and Chloe was Chowder's buddy. After they died (both from being hit by cars, rotten *kitten* people), Chowder and Misty never really bonded. They just play so different. Misty has found a friend in Mira though.
I too will ALWAYS have cats. And not just one cat. I put off moving out of my parents house a. because we couldn't afford it, and b. because I wasn't going to rent if I couldn't have cats (and I couldn't leave my babies behind either). Now we are buying my parents place and THEY moved out. Glad my hubby loves cats too. he wouldn't be my hubby if he didn't. I wasn't going to settle for anything less than a cat lover.0 -
Our cat Sassy (I know) is 18 years old. EIGHTEEN. She still gets around good and begs for food when she smells fish/chicken cooking, but has "old lady hips" (skinny) and a bit a problems jumping up on things. But she is awesome.0

looks like a marbled bengal. . . proly why its crazy and acts like people :-p
OMGosh, we have been wracking our brains trying to figure out what kind of cat he is. Looking at pics of marbled bengals I can certainly see the resemblance. Thanks for posting, this is awesome.
Is one of their traits to follow you around the house like a dog does? He follows me everywhere I go. Sometimes as I go, and sometimes will show up a couple minutes later after I've gone to another part of the house.0 -
LOL I have two. Captian Jack Sparrow...earned that name trust me! And kiara a cute little gray who keeps to herself most days,0

Your welcome! I'm a crazy cat lady so I'm pretty good at guessing breeds! And their traits are specific to them as in personality a bit. Bengals are very social but not cuddlebugs. My Bengal waits until my alarm goes off and then talks to me and follows me everywhere till we have "breakfast" (1/4 can of wet food). She has a halter n leash and we go for walks. We only do our block but I have heard that a 5block radius is normal territory size. My Bengal Samantha the terrible ( named after Samantha from sex and the city cuz she's a *****, hahaha) loves the wall shelves I bought her on etsy.com which helps her not be so destructive. ( too smart and nosy for her own good) but congrats on ur kitty. You got. $900-1200 kitty for shelter price! Add me if you like I'll talk Bengal all day!0 -
Our cat "Tots" He/She is the coolest cat ever... we got her off craigslist. The owner said its a girl, but the shot record she gave me was for a fixed male.... I don't care enough to hold it down and look... so ... we call it he sometimes, she others. LOL...0

I have two cats- Espn and Garfield. They're brothers and I love them even though Espn thinks he's a dog (no seriously, he plays fetch and responds to whistling and if you pat your lap he will come).0
