I used to have 11 cats and 4 pigeons
it started with one, then more came and they had kittens
the 4 pigeons were wild but somehow they kept showing up at our door
so we fed them and my mom put them in a cage
but in one go, just 3 kittens, 1 cat and 2 pigeons

When I was a child I remember at one go we had 6 dogs. I can't remember how old they all were but they were past puppy hood. At that time I think I was about 9 years old. The poodle stayed indoors and the other 5 lived outdoors. The poodle was the only one that was house trained and I guess my parents didn't feel like training the others. One thing I can't forget is having to cleanup all that doo-doo on side of the house where the dogs were. PHEW!

When I was a kid, I had 3 dogs, a cat, a hermit crab,4 newts and two hamsters. One hamster was pregnant and had babies.
Then for fun, my friends and I would put a few hamsters on the counter and watch them wrestle and play. We were young and naive. Bottom line, I ended up with 13 hamsters. So the grand total of pets I had at one time was 22.
I was very busy cleaning cages, 2 tanks, washing dogs, feeding all of them, etc.
I am an only child so it was my responsibility to run my at home pet store.

Hi Anne, At present I have
1 dog
2 cats
2 rabbits
5 fish
3 very large stick insects
So that makes 13 but I lost my two guinea pigs earlier in the year and did have four cats and down to two now. That would have made 17 in total. I also have Boris the spider who lives in a corner of the kitchen and I don't have the heart to chuck him out as he has been there since beginning of October.
Huggles. Ellie :D

We have 6 rabbits at the moment, and I think that is the most I've had at one time, but I would like to get even more pets. I plan on adding a couple of guineapigs, a dog and a cat. We also talked about getting a goat and some horses, but that won't be possible as long as we live in this house. In the future we would like to buy a house in the countryside, that will give us the chance to get even more animals. My family already refers to our home as "the farm" but 6 rabbits isn't much compared to the amount of pets that we will hopefully get in the future

We just had a cat and a dog at the same time. I am not counting the spider or the sparrows that were in our tree. I tried to add a turtle to that mixture but well it did not make it, plus there was the bees and the snails in the jars.

What a fun place your house must be. The most I've had at one time was a dog, two birds and some fish. Right now all we have is one dog.

Well we've had 5 dogs at one time, we gave one away and all this time we were down to 4 dogs, but a couple weeks ago our female had 6 puppies, so now we've got 10 dogs..lol. I just thought about that last night, I told my husband, you know we've got ten dogs now, he just grunted...lol. I think we'll be selling some of them when they get a little older, I don't think I want to be feeding ten dogs, its expensive now with just 4 adult dogs to feed.

When I was in France, living in an apartment, I had two cats, two rabbits, two guinea pigs, seven rats and a hamster! So that's... uh... thirteen. All those cages to clean, yikes!

I had about 150 toads at one time. Very easy to take care of and I think they're adorable. I also was breeding hamsters and had 27 at one time. I've settled down since then. just have 2 tree frogs now.
