How our two-bedroom terrace become something of a cat rescue centre is illustration of nationwide crisis
How many cats is too many cats? I can’t tell you exactly, but a couple of weeks ago, I had 11 cats living in my terrace house. And I can say with confidence this is absolutely, definitely too many.
At time of writing, I still have seven.
Somehow, my home has, against my will and better judgment, become something of a cat rescue centre, and an illustration of what Cats Protection has described as a growing crisis of abandoned felines.
This all started last summer, when I convinced my husband, Michael, that we needed a kitten as company for our grumpy old ginger boy Phillip, which would bring our number of cats to the completely normal and socially acceptable number of two.
