    I now have 7 cats and at one time briefly had 12 (too many even for me). Before I die I want to have had one of every color!

    you sound like my mom, she's down to 7 cats, but at one point had 23 cats in the house. It was only because 3 of her cats got pregnant, before she could get them fixed. I had to help her find house for all the little kittens

    Yay fellow feline lovers! I've been a life-long cat lover and we currently have five cats ruling over our home. The one in my profile pic is Kitty, who is a strapping boy. A few months before my husband and I met, hubby was at the gym one night and Kitty decided he needed a workout and someone let him inside. Hubby tried to find the owner but couldn't so he brought him home and notified the shelter and the animal control officer in case someone was looking for him. He didn't know if he was a boy or girl so simply called him Kitty. No one ever claimed him after my husband went door to door trying to find the owner so he kept him. When I moved in, I brought four more fur kids. Sadly, two passed away over the next two years from cancer at the ages of 12 and 13. Last summer, we decided to pay a visit to our local shelter and ended up adopting two more. One is a tiny little girl 3 years old and the other is an old fella who is now 19 (18 when we adopted him).

    We also have two ferrets, three tarantulas, a Red Devil (fish) and two giant goldfish which instead of eating, the Red Devil adopted.

    I also have a cat tattoo. ^ ^

    Feel free to add me as a friend!

    I'm a crazy cat lady. I only have one right now. I think I'm going to have to take her to the vet though, because she hasn't been eating :( Her name is Roxie, and she is a rescue cat. She was probably about 2 when I got her, so she's about 10 now.

    When I was a teenager, we had 24 cats at one point. Only 10 of them were our pets, they were all outdoor cats. (well, they would go outside all day, and come in at feeding time and bed time) We had an appointment to get one of our female cats spayed, but she got shot twice a couple days before her appointment. By the time she recovered enough to get spayed, she was pregnant. Then it turned out another cat was pregnant. They both had their litters, then they both got fixed. But, that gave us 14 kittens, which we found homes for, and went back to the ten cats.

    Hi OysterCat,
    I have 2 beautiful cats. The older one is a cat I found starving in the neighborhood. I know where she came from, The person breeds her cats, sells them and any that on't sell hit the streets, no shots, not fixed, left on their own to survive. Well I adopted one of those starving cat, beautiful white cat with green eyes and PREGNANT! It wasn't a hard sell to convince my hubby to build a kitty house on the back porch for her to have her babies in though I didn't know if she would choose too. Once she realized that I was her food source she moved right in. Had 5 kittens, 3 black with green eyes and 2 white with blue eyes. I next convinced hubby to let them live in our basement because it was the end of October when they were born and we had freezing temps and horrible rain. He agreed, the basement because we didn't know if she would use a cat box. Well she did, and taught her babies to do so as well. We never had a mistake. I knew the white kittens would be the first to go so I set out to find homes only for the black kittens. A friend took 2 black kittens and a neighbor took a black kitten and a white one as well. We were thrilled that they got to stay with a sibling. I kept momma kitty and allowed her to keep the runt of the litter, a cry baby, white with blue eyes. Got Momma fixed, she had an internal hole in her stomach, Vet said he was suprised she lived through the pregnancy. I've had them now for 2 years. Baby is as independent as can be and momma has become a lap cat. I love them both so much. It's a juggling act here though because I also have an African Grey Parrot who requires attention and a Boxer who momma kitty wont tolerate and has taught her baby to be leery as well.

    Just rescued a three week old kitten and still have to bottle feed him and rub his little hiney for him to go to the bathroom :huh:

    But he is adorable :love:

    To teach him to go to the bathroom on his own, have you tried taking a warm wet towel and rubbing that area? Momma cats teach the babies to go by licking it, which stimulates them to go.

    We are currently using a warm washcloth and he did go by himself once yesterday :smile:

    This is my massive Kitty Kakes!

    181628_194133443937815_3095461_n.jpg

    cuuuute! i'm curious, how massive? He looks big-boned like my Marvy (the black & white kitty in my profile pics). Marv is bigger than many of the dogs in the neighborhood (except the two collies across the street) and when he stretches out on the bed next to me i feel cramped for space :laugh:

    Lou was around 30 pounds when I adopted him, but when his cancer got really bad he dropped down to about 18 before he passed away which is still pretty hefty for a kitty!

    I have 10 cats where I live with my parents! 2 orientals, a persian, a naughty tortie, 2 black and white boys and my furbaby a big black scaredy cat called Hex :)

    Getting a tattoo of Jiji the cat from Kiki's Delivery Service on my birthday to go with my two other non cat related tats (my birthday is in 9 days, woohoo!)

    So nice to see loads of crazy cat people with their fur babies! xo

    I used to be a dog person until my dad's rescue kitten adopted me. After 15 years, he passed, and my husband and I decided to adopt a couple of kitties from a rescue shelter. Blair & Breanne are spoiled little princesses, but I wouldn't have them any other way! :heart:

    Crazy Cat Ladies FTW! I have 3 Fur-Babies that run my household and I wouldn't have it any other way. Weston (my grumpy old man), Athena (who follows me around and talks to me when I am in the shower) and Hallowe'en (the Mischevious Food-driven Stinker).

    Marv talks to me when i'm in the shower, too! he gets excited because he knows that after i get out i will give him a "kitty bath" (i dampen a few paper towels with warm water & wipe him down. he loooves it. if i tried that with any of the other cats they would run)

    Love this! Two of your kitties sound similar to my two kitties. Breanne yells at me if I do something she doesn't like (which includes getting up if she's cozy laying up against me...how dare I get up!), and Blair likes to muscle her way to her sister's food dish during snack time, so Breanne has to eat fast! Also, Blair will let my husband and me pet her, then she'll walk a little ways, then stop & turn around so we can pet her again, and repeat. She's done this a few times and took us right out to the kitchen... we're wise to her little trick now. :wink:

    Just discovered this thread. Two cats here -- wish I had more, but I rent. Both are rescues, and like many of you I like to hang out at Pet Smart checking out the kitties up for adoption.
