I have had up to 4 cats at any one time.......two of my own, and two strays,but alas Monty my Maine Coon cat died in February(lovely boy)......and recently one of the timid strays has disappeared. He always used to come to sleep in a cat box in the garage, and would have a good scoff every morning...but haven't seen him now for something like 10 days. I do have a little black cat with white socks. She was a stray who turned up some 8 years ago. Hubby had just had a stroke and was very 'down'........she was a kitten then and made him smile.....and then made him laugh, and would drape herself round his shoulders like a big furry collar.
Once she became a member of the family, my hubby began to get better.
She is called Pashmina...Pasha for short.
We also have a stray white male cat visiting us for food and a comfy sleep on the sofa.......I'm not allowed to give him a name because he isn't 'mine'.
So now only two cats. My house would not feel like home without them.
