    I can tell we will all have to bring the cameras with us on the PNW Sunday ride and share cat photos...with three tortoiseshells already, I think Ashgarth's personality-fitting-in problem is another reason for me not adopting more .

    I would not want to have as many cats as I have bikes, that's for sure .

    One of my most tempermental is a tortoiseshell

    You know what though? The new one has really change the feline continuum. He is so mellow and HUGE (21.6 lbs), the others have stopped playing kitty games and are getting along. It all depends on the cat but sometimes an addition can make a positive difference.

    Not that I'm advocating, of course

    Just like it's impossible to be too thin, too tanned or too rich (wasn't that it?)

    - there's no such thing as too many cats.

    Technically I only have one, the roommate has the other two. And then there is the little one... we won't go into the cat's room.

    AT our peak - we had 7 cats and a dog and a lot of herbal tea. The only good thing I say about it (because all the cats were foundlings and all around the same ages - made for a bad time 18-19 years later when they all died in clumps and our backyard burial ground will make it appear as though we were into some sort of cult) is that although we certainly fit a certain stereotype, we never named any of them gertrude or alice b. toklas.

    One more little kitty never hurt anyone.

    I say, if you have the space for them and everyone seems to get along ok, then go for it!

    I have two of the craziest, most psychotic cats ever. I'm very tempted to get a third because my friend's cat just had kittens. But my house is small and I don't think it would be fair to expect three cats to share that space. It's very tempting though.

    oh he was sooo sweet. Kind, gentle and just sat there calmly as we petted and brushed him. I told the woman i would go home and talk with the bf. He is allergic to cats and he/we decided that he needs to overcome the allergies to the cats I already have before we get a 3rd. He was so sweet, he knew I was upset and distrssed and he comforted me and told me it was OK and that I had such a huge heart.

    I was so drained emotionally that I feel asleep.

    I know this charmer of a kitty will find a home and who ever adopts him will have a real lover.
