Well, I guess not everybody can live out in the country ... with fourteen cats, plus visiting families of skunks, coons and possums ... and hummingbirds, more of those than I can count or even estimate. -- T.E.D. ) MST (Missouri University of Science and Technology) used to be UMR (University of Missouri - Rolla). |

It's usually held that two will be playmates; with three, two will gang ou on the third. That may or may not be true: three may get along well with each other, or two will be a team and ignore the third while the third ignores them; on the other hand, two may never become friends, but they do provide interest for each other. Personally, I prefer enough so that there is almost always one handy for lap duty. Until I got CJ, that took over a dozen - him, I can't get rid of when I *don't* want a lap cat. The current count (indoor/outdoor cats living out in the country) is fourteen. -- T.E.D. ) MST (Missouri University of Science and Technology) used to be UMR (University of Missouri - Rolla). |
