To not know what to do about my cats

[tartanfleece]

I have 5 (very loved) cats. But have recently moved. The house goes directly onto the street and is a main road through a town which in itself is in a rural location but does get massive lorries and buses.

Also I can't really afford them. They never seem to stop eating

And because this house is much smaller they are keeping me up. I was awake at 3:45 this morning because of one of them miaowing.

One is quite elderly. The others are aged between 3 and 7. They are all black which I understand is hard to rehome.

I don't know what to do. I have started thinking seriously about rehoming because this is so miserable but feel like an awful person. Am I being unreasonable? Can anyone help?

Applaws, greenwoods, royal canin, james well beloved very good dry food.

zooplus always has offers!

Sorry this is off topic but why are black cats harder to rehome?

Apparently it’s becsuse they are hard to photograph - their features don’t show up as well as say, tabbies, so they get passed over in photos of animals up for adoption on rescue sites. Also people want to post photos of their pets on FB and Instagram and whatever, so they want photogenic pets.

It’s really sad - Temple Grandin (very well regarded animal psychologist) has written about how black cats are genetically friendlier and more laid back so make excellent pets.

Hmmmmmmmmm

Not another one. Getting tedious.
