I am sure many of us have had Cats. I am sure there might even be many of you here who have raised cats at one time, so I wonder who has had the most Cats. Over the course of my lifetime we owned quite a few cats when I was growing up. I remember even raising Cats and giving away the kittens when I was growing up as well. I remember having at least 10 at one time once.
My cat when I was growing up was named Adorable. She was gray and white tabby striped and used to show off her kittens when she had them. It was so Cute. I do miss the Fun times I had growing up with her. I do not own any Cats now as we do not have the time nor $$ to have one, but I miss the comfort of having one around for sure.

I havehad cats all my life. Right now I have a houseful of cats. A couple of years ago a litter of babies was dropped off in front, of course I had to feed them. I have 5 cats here now. The one cat is my grandkids cat, he used to live here and they moved across the street so he decided to move too. Now they are back until they can make the house next door livable. Once they move he will be moving with them.

I think 10 was the most we ever had and eight of those were kittens to give away.
Most of the time we have two in the house and 3 or 4 out in the barn. No with Vet bills being so high we keep it down to two or three. I don't believe in keep more than we can afford to care for.

When I was growing up my parents had 5 cats and some years more. They just lived in the garage not in our house. They were free to go wherever they wanted and they always came back. I love cats because they are so independant. My little girl now wants a cat or a dog so I will have to decide on this one. Take care.

At the moment I have 3 cats. Its the most I've ever had at one time, but I do wish I could get more. I absolutely love kittens! The oldest cat is Harley and he is about 6 years old. He's extemely fluffy and big boned with a grey and black coat. The next is Lily and she is 4 years old. She is small boned and various shades of brown. And last but not least is my baby, Cookie. She is not actually a baby since she is almost 2 years old, but I still see her that way. She's small, fluffy, and different shades of brown and grey, with a white stomach.

We have two cats, Jake a male, and Scoots a female. They both are long haired. We just acquired a third cat, which we do not want. My husband's Aunt wanted her cat put down, because she meowed too loud at night and the Aunt couldn't get any sleep. My husband was to take the cat to be put to sleep. we couldn't do it, not would the vet, the cat is perfectly healthy.
This pass Saturday, the cat was to go to GA to the Aunt's daughter's house, but the plans were cancelled. It is difficult trying to keep the cats separate, because of the fighting. I feel like I am caught in the middle, because we are stuck with this cat, and it is making our cats unhappy.

I have only ever owned one cat in my life, so one at a time. We had a dog, growing up, and then when I moved out on my own, I got a cat. I got him the day after I moved in here, and now, almost 8 years later, I still have him.

Hello krausesHome. We used to have three kittens many years ago. We had them for more than a fortnight and then we gave them to our neighbors to take care of them because we were not used to the smell they made. Now I can see a few cats on campus. They are very quiet during the day, but make noise during the night. I am quite used to their making loud noise at night though.
