Wow, I thought that I had a lot of cats. I am impressed that you could put them in age order. I am not sure that I could do that with my own; I am a little fuzzy about some of their ages (they are preowned cats, LOL).

well, some, like Scamp, Chalube and Kit are all going on 12, but I'm not sure exactly which one is oldest. Rio, Timus and Taj are all 7, again, not sure who is oldest, but it may be Taj since we know he was born in early April, while the other 2 were probably not born until a little later in the year, but we know Taj was because he was about 4 weeks old when we got him in late April and Rio was about 6-8 months when we got her in April of the following year and Timus was about a year when we got him the folling August. Now, with Gizmo, Ping & Pong, and Solo, because they all came as kittens, and granted we only know Solo's birth exactly, but Gizmo was about 4 weeks also when he was rescued with his mom and siblings over Memorial Day. Then Solo was born on June 22nd, and then in late July we took in Ping, Pong and their sister, May, but they were already about 2 months old, putting Gizmo as the oldest, then the "Wonder Twins" and then Solo.
with some like Booboo, we were told he was 10 months when we got him (and a huge 10 months too) and that would put him about 5 months younger than Oliver, we're not sure about Roxy either, I'm suspecting she really belongs before Oliver, but we don't have any proof, and then Frank was about a year when we got him, because his sister, Rose was only about 8 months when we got her 5 months before.
now, we don't know which of the last 3 were born first, but they are from the same litter, so they're the same age.

I've got ten at the moment....Had only two for years, then we moved to our current house. Daughter came home with a kitten from an auction. Then a few months later, my boyfriend found a very young kitten at work that was stuck in a work truck, think he came from another state poor thing. Then one literally showed up on my front door. Then my daughter let one inside thinking it was hers, but it wasn't, and he keeps hanging around, guess the food here is better then where he was at. Then, the one that showed up at the front door ended up pregnant, so now we have (fortunately only) five kittens. Feeding time is a freaking zoo with all the meow meow meows. The one found on the truck just recently disappeared, hopefully he'll come back, but that leaves us at ten currently. And one feral cat that I feed on occasion when I see him.

That's a good description, but I think wild kingdom is tame compared to mine lol :) They act like they haven't eaten for weeks. You can't hear anything other then the meows, and it's so loud! They don't swipe at each other, but they run each other over and push each other out of the way to get to the food. And they paw at me trying to get to the food, usually making me drop it, which the dogs love because they're always standing around waiting for dropped food. One cat almost knocked me out jumping across, and whacked me in the head, actually left a little bump and a bruise. I have to literally walk around the room filling the bowls and placing them in different places to get who I want where, then rearrange them. It's almost comical, if it wasn't such a pain in the butt :)

Do you end up with the wild kingdom show at feeding time? My cats act like they are wild animals at feeding time, taking swipes at one another.

Does the feral colony that came with the house count? How about the abandoned cats that show up on the doorstep? If both of those categories count, then I have twelve cats. If not, then I have three cats and my wife has four. Almost too many to count. *laughs*

Right now i Currently own two cats and however many kittens the one just had. I dont know how many there are - they are under one of the outbuildings on the farm and i cant see.
Theres also at least 8 others on the farm but are wild and were products of someone dumping them and i let them stay.
