I have 2. Big fluffy, calico Yenko, she likes to leave evidence of her where abouts and sleek gray tiger, Tater, loves my quilts. He normally gets to use them before anyone else does.

...or 13! My DD has 6 inside (some are in/out but spend the night in) and 7 out that never come in the house. She even heats the garage for them during the cold months. She counts them every night before bedtime. If anyone is missing, she calls and looks for them before going to bed.
They all have such different personalities, or one is prettier than the rest, or sweeter than the rest. They are her kids.
No grandbabies coming from her.

Well, there were a few things other than the 2 cats...
a black lab
a samoyed
a 12 year old rooster that thought he was a dog since he hung out with them
4 doves
and then the 4 goats

A goat, the lab and rooster are now at Rainbow Bridge and we found good homes for the rest of the goats and the doves.

I would like to get the samoyed a brother or sister but for now we share her living arrangements with BIL and SIL since they have her brother. They enjoy being with each other and swapping houses back and forth. It's a great arrangement since we all are on the go.

Once we move, she'll need a companion though she's getting up there in years and is beginning to have a difficult time getting around.
