Thanks Medusa, Krazyaboutkatz, CultureJunky, Moesha and Moosmom!!
I really appreciate your kind words! We do feel so fortunate to be owned by these guys. They all found us over the years and each time I thought "there's no way we'll adopt another cat, at least until we're down to just a couple!" But then one comes along that is so cleary meant for us and our family that we just can't turn our backs. Thankfully it remains under control and we seem to adopt one cat every few years and within in that time, one usually goes to the Rainbow Bridge. As long as we stay out of the double digits we jokingly tell ourselves we can't be called the Crazy Cat people!! LOL
Of course the real reason to keep it at 9 or less is to make sure each one gets the proper attention they deserve as well as the medical attention they might need. As it is, it's tough to get everybody the exams they should be getting etc.. so when our numbers go down over the next few years, I think we'll try and keep it at a reasonable number, like SEVEN!! LOL
