*What a diabolical liberty!! My... that just gets my blood boiling... We have quite a few cats ourselves, luckily in our county there are no limits imposed (yet). HOWEVER, I take issue with this... because there is NO law about how many children people can have!! We have a ton of room... we wear our hands raw keeping the house clean... spend every penny keeping everyone healthy... and how dare anyone "decide we have 'too many'"!! Sorry... I'll get off my soap box. I just think if the quality of life for the animals is good... if the animals are happy and healthy... then there is no problem!! It is the hoarders who cannot care properly for the animals that have the problem.... unfortunately we all get lumped into the 'hoarder' category.* *Leslie =^..^= *

I have 6 personal cats and 19 or so foster cats at any one time. Fortunately we don't have any pet limit laws here, although if someone decided you have "too many" they will seize them.
