I think that I may have seen this a while back. Yes, I don't think that having a few cats would be considered being a hoarder. What ever the number of cats someone has doesn't matter as long as they're all well cared for. When the house smells like urine because the cats are using the floor as a litter box, when fleas are every where and when the cats are malnurished and sick, this is when it's a huge problem and something needs to be done.
