I voted for something under 10. If I lived in a large house and didn't have to worry about money, then I think that I could easily take care of at least 6 cats. I don't think that I'd want more than this because then I wouldn't be able to give all of them the attention and love they deserve. Right now I have 3 males but if I had 6 cats then I'd probably have 4 males and 2 females or 5 males and 1 female.
