Currently five cats, two girls who are Bengal/tabby crosses, and three boys. One of the boys we adopted after some nasty neighbours did a midnight flit and abandoned him, and another has moved in with us from another nice neighbour - they are fine with it, because they know where he is and still see him - he's just got an attitude. Between us we have eight, and I'm sure the cats treat it as one big home. They all get on and visit each other's houses.
Previously we've also had two rats (great pets) and a house rabbit who thought he was a cat and occasionally tried to mate with them (boy, girl, he wasn't fussy).
There are another four much-loved cats buried in the garden.
You can't really have a thread like this without pictures, so:
This is Freya, one of the two Bengal/tabby crosses. They're nearly 3. She's a bit blonde and like her sister Loki has a very bushy tail. They like fuss but only on their terms, will only sit on you rarely and woe betide if you try and pick one of them up!
And this is Loki
Kato is 2, and was rescued by my daughter from an unwanted farm litter. He's very affectionate and soppy. We wonder about him sometimes.
Grey baby is the cat abandoned by neighbours when they did a midnight flit. He was semi-wild for a couple of years before he moved in with us, and as you see he feels quite at home. Vet said he was about 5 or 6 based on his teeth. We've never given him another name since he moved in.
The black cat is Woody, the one who walked out on our good neighbours. I think he preferred our food and was maybe put out when they acquired a whippet. He's about 14. Plenty of attitude, he usually gets what he wants. The ginger cat is Barney, one of the neighbours' cats, again an exile from another house about 200 yards away (he was put in a kennel in the garden when they had a baby, and wasn't going to put up with that). He comes in for a snack and a nap now and then.
