To think having 30 cats is a bit too many??

[SarahH12]

Friend of ours is a foster Mum to cats. Speaking to her last night she said she has 30 cats at the minute

Whilst I think it's great she looks after cats (I couldn't do it, I'd get too attached!!) I'm not sure 30 is in the best interests of the cats? I suppose what's worse - not taking them in or then having 20-30 cats in your quite small house?

I’m married to cats so yabu

30!!! OK if you have a designated cattery, but if they are just roaming about your home that is not really on - they will 100% be vying for territory and will piss everywhere. Very unsanitary! I would have thought two in the house maximum.

Yet I have 5, and they don't argue over territory (other than the top platform of the cat trees) OR piss anywhere they shouldn't. At one point, I had 11 indoors. Still didn't piss anywhere they shouldn't. Healthy, neutered, vaccinated, well looked after cats with access to enough clean litter boxes don't make your house unsanitary. Not being a responsible pet owner or doing any housework makes your house unsanitary 🙄

One is one too many. I prefer to see wild birds

Well, we can all have both, as even the RSPB state that cats are not detrimental to the bird population.
