Cats cats and more cats

My cat collection - This is all 3 cats trying to sleep on my knee, the largest cat is Mika, Leela was our new kitten this year and the smallest one is Bella that we found abandoned.

I love cats and have always had one or more at each point in my life. My hubby6 and I are living Bulgaria at the moment and we had our first cat last year he is a lovely cat called Mika, this year we got a second cat from the same mother and she is called Leela and is about 8 weeks old now. We wenr for a walk around our village and discovered a very small kitten that seemed to be abandoned by her mother. We went back a couple of hours later to see if the mother had come back but the poor thing was still there all alone and crying. So we have brought her home and have been bottle feeding her for the last week, she is very strong and starting to eat solid food. We would ideally like to re-home her but there is such a large number of kittens needing homes (bulgarians are too poor to fix their cats so they keep reproducing and we have a large number of strays). So it looks like I will have a total of 3 cats - I will keep her if we can't find a home for her but it seems like a lot of cats to me. What about you? how many cats do you think it too many?

I would love to open a cat sanctuary, but I think like you I too would not be abl to let any of them go! There is such a big stray cat and dog population in this country its heartbreaking when you can't help more.

Wow! It is such a lovely experience! I love cats too, but I haven't considered how many to be called too many. I suggest you make a video of them and put it on Youtube. It will be hilarious! Perhaps someone which is also a cat lover will watch it and help you take some of your cats with him or her.

They all have great personalities and chase each other around - they are becoming quite close and loving with each other too. I will have to try and capture them on video as they are really funny!

Too many or not really depends on if you can afford to take care of them properly. Personally I don't think three is too many, but then, I have seven! That's my maximum though - cost and feline conflict issues dictate that I take on no more cats.

I love cats. I have this huge orange fluff of fur who always meows for attention, it's really cute. I also have this little tiny kitten a siamese/tabby mix. He's very loving, loves to purr a lot!
