I'm sorry but 15 cats is a lot of cats. It's a bit doxx-y (so feel free not to answer) but how many were you housing at one time?

Thats not what they said. They said cumulatively 15 cats over two lifetimes.

You're the one assuming things I never said. I asked how many they had at one time. Obviously, that entails ownership of cats distributed over time.

The most I've had at once was 6, but that doesn't really count because it was a short time that I took in a momma cat and her litter who were all adopted out two months later. I kept momma for about a year after before adopting her out. I've never had a cat its whole life. I have fostered a ton of kittens, and had cats for years, including cats that previously lived outdoors and then when I adopt, it's usually been older cats who need extra care.

Yes, 15 would be quite a lot if you assume full lifespans of the cats!

I thought it might have been something like that but I didn't know if you were actually older or were just a cat hoarder lol
