..cats have you owned simultaneously?

I once lived in an animal sanctuary, which held NINE cats, four dogs, over fifty rabbits and guinea pigs, and around a hundred assorted rodents. To say it was utterly insane, was an understatement, but I loved it. I couldn't open my bedroom door, without a parade of cats coming in, to position themselves on my bed, clothes, around my shoes, and desk. It's one thing to listen to one, or even two cats demand their breakfast, but listening to nine yowl at me, as well as the squeaking from guineapigs etc, got a little weird.

The plus side to all of that, was the fact that the cats weren't obsessed with 'playing' with the rodents and such, because they were used to them being around, there was no desire to kill and eat. It was very lovely to watch one particular cat, nuzzling a newborn guinea pig. Anyone who has cared for pigs, knows the start running about as soon as they're birthed.
