    Yep, 6. After you have several it’s kinda like “how much harder could it be to have another?”

      We had the same thought with our cats and ended up with five. Then we realized that if you’re unlucky it can get really unsustainable really quickly. For example if you have one cat and it develops 3 problems you have 3 problems to deal with. Five cats and each develop 3 problems…yeah you now have 15 problems to keep up with (vet bills, messed to clean up, fights to break up etc etc.).

      I can’t imagine juggling six kids. Props to you all for being able to keep up with that.

        Yeah there’s always a risk of getting a really hard to handle kid/cat. Some kids are just at easy, but others aren’t. There’s also a risk of suddenly have twins or triplets and ending up extra overwhelmed.
