Once upon a time, I had close to 20 cats. This may seem a bit much to some, but for me, it was quite normal. Only about 10 were in the house with me, which wasn’t as bad as one would think. In fact, if you were only in the house for a few minutes, you may not even know they were there, until you started feeling like you were being watched and slowly saw ears rise from behind the couch or from under something to cautiously size you up.
