That's dreadful! I remember we had a thread on this a while ago - it's some kind of mental illness, isn't it?

Catmandu, I was surprised to hear the 2-cat rule. Is that a "municipal" or local government thing, or is it your landlord. I once stayed in an apartment complex which had a 2-pet rule (little bit redundant when you consider the woman downstairs from me had TWO RHODESIAN RIDGEBACKS - I am sure 6 cats would have been more managable than those two dogs!

My lease here doesn't even say anything about pets / animals (it was the first thing I checked), but I guess that indicates how little interest there is in pet ownership here - most people dont really have many pets at all!
