There's an obvious bad joke there...

I saw a clip on FB from the BBC archives. There was a crazy posh lady who had zillions of cats. She was paying £100 a week for cat food

Thanks for the posts.

If there's a bad joke to be thought of, Jim, I'm sure that you'll always will ;-)

I love the cartoon, Jno. My Chequers definitely has that attitude!

I remember that BBC archive video, Wolfie. It's featured here on AB at least once.

My friend who lives in Italy is very much a 'cat lady'. As well as looking after her own cats, she spends at least €3000 per year on cat food for a colony of street cats and probably just as much again (or, more likely, far more) on medications and veterinary treatment for them all.

I wonder if her husband survived.

Hmmmm, I love dats but that is a bit over the top - as even they have decided. I hope they can find good homes for most of them and perhaps just be left with a few, 30 or 40 maybe. Good to hear the cats are all being neutered, it should be compulsory unless it's a breeder.

*cats, should have proof read before posting once again.

Their poor neighbours :-(

"Expensive living hell" - but they still do it - nice bit of virtue signalling there.

I wouldn't like to live next door - my vegetable patch wouldn't stand a chance and the lovely songbirds nesting in my hedges would be decimated.

[pastafreak]

Not necessarily. They spend a fortune on cat litter, food, and medical care...plus time with the cats.
Their home looks tidy...not as if the cats have taken over like in a hoarders house.
The lady I got my boy from started...and continues in a similar fashion. She became a registered charity and with the help of family and dozens of volunteers rehomes many cats and kittens every year...all spayed/neutered, wormed, flead...and given life saving treatment when necessary. Dedicated premises are the next step.

[pastafreak]

Canary...looking at the video, they have an outdoor catio attached to the house. That's as far as the cats will or can go.
Veg patches will be safe.

[pastafreak]

As will birds.

'Karen and Lauren say they're always chasing around after cats who love to chase mice and steal food'

They have 60 cats & still have mice !!

Hello my name is Chris and I am a kitaholic
Everybody. Hello Chris
I 'd like to tell you my story... It started on a cold wet night and I heard a sound outside... I went to the door, and there was a little tabby, staring up at me.... I thought I could just keep her overnight..... You know, just to try .... The rest is history..... After a while one just wasn't enough....

[Cloverjo]

Much as I love cats (I have my own beautiful rescue) I can’t imagine living with 70 of them. I don’t think those cats would be happy having to compete for space and attention.

[pastafreak]

Khandro @10:55...they said mice get in occasionally...so the cats catch them.

I like cars but couldn't have that many!
Respect to these wonderful women.
They are the cat's wiskers!..

[Patsy33]

Cats!! :-))
