I have 6 cats - five outdoor rescued cats and one indoor rescue that has a neurological condition commonly called "head shake". That is why she is an indoor cat. We did have one more outdoor rescue, but we lost him last week when he wandered down our long lane and into the road. I miss him. Oh, and there is one more cat that we are trying to rescue, we feed him, but he won't come close to us yet. He lives in back of the grocery store we go to.
I would love to have dogs also, but the law here says they have to be fenced or chained. It would be tough to fence in our hilly property, even a small portion.
