I now have 3 cats. A 2 y/o and two 4 mth old kittens. We were planning only to have 2 but they were a package deal (the only 2 of a litter that survived being abandoned at the dump)
as long as you have the time and the means to take care of them properly, go hard I mean, I knew a lady who went to jail because she had over 100 pets, and when the police came for a wellness check like 40 of them were just dead in the house.
humans are much worse than cats. At least cats are nice to other cats more frequently, we indiscriminately kill anything, human or animal. Really, I'd take a cat over a person - if you feed a cat, they'll be loyal to you unless you hurt or starve them. If you feed a human, they'll pretend to be loyal until they find another source of food.
