I have 9 cats. I have a plaque that says,"Every life should have 9 cats" Not sure they meant all at once. I have a very patient dog, 2 parrots and a bevy of fish. In my house if you find pet hair in your food it costs extra. I cannot walk out of the house without feathers in my hair and fur on my clothes. I have a friend that carries a lint brush just for me.
