Awww bless their little heads. I am older and don't drive anymore (so not able to get to vet in an emergency/so not fair to any pets) so just the human head type here. Since I was 18 and moved out from parents I've had up to five furry friends at any given time. Mostly cats. I miss all of them very much and wish I could adopt more, but then remind myself of how grateful I am for the joy they brought to my life.

Twelve cats currently call this home. And they all travel with us when we are in the camper.

I love this thread already!! One dog-a 9 yr old chihuahua mix mutt; two cats a 3 yr old Tuxedo and a gray and white tabby who is eight mos. All were adopted as babies. They have the best lives. They are truly gifts and blessings from God.

Just 1 older cat right now - beautiful orange tabby - I found him as a stray 2 years ago.

In the past I've had 2 and 3 cats at the same time.

The older I get I worry about them outliving me.

Human head count is most acceptable.

I've had up to 5 cats at once, but then started to cut back as they passed. Until Dec., I had 3 but now only 2. Stormy is a gray 7 year old male dynamo who is a very jealous little boy who is not happy when his "sister" Maisie, a 12 year old tabby point Siamese, comes anywhere near me. I got Maisie at the shelter and Stormy came from the feral colony my sister takes care of. BTW, she has 8 in the house and probably 15 or 20 ferals she tends to.

We have 2 doggies and would love to get another one. However, these 2 would not be happy with that decision. They both would rather be only-dogs.

Both are rescues and both are very pampered. I wish all dogs and cats out there were pampered.

We were blessed to have had eight cats and three dogs as part of our family over the past 45 years - all rescues. They all found their way to Rainbow Bridge. 🌈 ❤️

Currently we have two cats; a five year old and a one year old. I thought our very first cat couldn't be beat, but our newest one is the best ever. She's truly the sweetest, snuggliest, and most friendly purring machine we've ever had. She came at just the right time, to help my heart heal after saying goodbye to my beloved Golden Retriever last summer. She's was a bit of a mess at first; fleas, ear mites, parasites, goopy eyes, and eyelid injury. It took a few months to get her fixed up with eyelid surgery and a couple courses of treatment but she's great and it was all worth it. 🐾❤️🐾❤️

We have two rescue cats: Thomas is 8 and Elvis is 7. I can't believe I got both to pose for me at the same time.

The most I have had (all in the house) at one time have been 12 cats and 2 dogs.

Currently, I have seven cats and one dog. Every night I am so thankful I have these sweet babies with me.
