11 Ways to Know that You Have Too Many Cats
By Kathryn G. Yen
• You make a remark to your cats, answer yourself for them, and really think that they are speaking the words.
• You wear a dust mask to clean the litterbox.
• The majority of your conversation is addressed to the kitties and consists mainly in telling them how cute they are.
• The cats have their own chair at the dinner table.
• Generally about half of your dinner (as long as it is meat) disappears down the cats' throats.
• You open a can of tuna specifically for the kitties.
• You no longer refer to the litterbox by it's rightful name, but rather the "poop box".
• Every piece of string that ever finds it's way into your house is saved "for the kitties".
• You have learned that everything is a toy.
• You have learned that everything belongs to the cats, including yourself.
• No matter how many feline companions you have, you still think you need more cats.
