Today, on my way to Burger King I got into a heated discussion with my wife about our cats. We have 15 rescues, and I've reached my limit. Guess what came running up to my car while waiting in the drive-through. We named him Pickles. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I walked outside to see my dog killing my cat. My spouse tried to cheer me up - "Hey, at least we don't have to buy cat food anymore!" FML
Today, my cat tried to steal my burger. She was successful. She grabbed the patty with her teeth and pulled it right out of the burger. I was too dumbfounded to try and stop her. I have a suspicion that she is hungry and I forgot to feed her. FML
Today, I once again walked in on my husband eating our cat's food. FML
Today, I had to take my cat to the vet. On the way there, he managed to get out of his cage, climb into the front seat, onto my chest, and howl in my face as I tried to drive down the highway. I ended up with stitches and still got charged for missing my cat's appointment. FML
Today, I was over at a friend's house feeding her cats while she was on vacation. After feeding the four of them, I found an extra cat under the sofa. Thinking it was an intruding stray, I kicked it out. She actually has 5 cats. FML
Today, I saw a poor helpless cat in the middle of the road while driving. I pulled over and scooped it in my arms to bring it to safety. Not only did I get mauled and scratched by the cat, my car also wasn't put in park and rolled away hitting a parked car. FML
Today, my girlfriend called me four times in a row at work. Worried, I stepped outside and answered the phone. Through tears, she screamed, "It's the cat!" Was he sick or hurt? "NO! He won't stop meowing!" FML
Today, I took my wife's cat to the vet for her yearly check up. I'm finishing the day at the hospital with multiple bite wounds and a deep gash in my leg. My wife chose to comfort her cat instead. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I are devastated to return our newly adopted "cat friendly" dog to the shelter. He's perfect, other than the fact that he clearly wants to eat our cats. FML
Today, I took my cat to the vet for a regular check-up. In the waiting room, she escaped from her carrier and created chaos, knocking over supplies, and hissing at everyone. FML

She's turning you into a crazy cat lady

Do you want fries with that? In all honesty, I like the idea of rescuing animals, but, you are right, there is a limit, especially if it is in your home. Hopefully you can reach a compromise! Until then, I hope you like Pickles :P

I have two dogs ( one of them is a rescue ) and as soon as money gets tight, that's when you stop rescuing! Better yet, get them all neutered and adopt them out for $25 each. Never offer them homes for free - too many sickos out there with free time on their hands can always find a free pet to torture and this must stop! I love dogs and would take a bullet for one, but sometimes we can only save one at a time and while that might not seem like a lot, it is a WHOLE lot to the one you saved! :) Remember, if you don't take care of yourself, you can't care for others!

Rescuing is one of the best things someone can do. But I really hope that you're acting more as a foster, than actually planning to keep all these cats.. Or at least that you live outside of town and these are outdoor cats. Acting as a foster would be perfect in this situation, though. Taking them in, and caring for them for a short term while you find good homes for them.

That's like what my mom does, they show up and we intend for them to find other homes, but she gets way too attached. We are actually starting to become allergic to cats, its not healthy.

Moral of the story: don't go to burger king.

Um, how do you know "pickles" was a stray? You may have just nicked someone's pet.

You need to put your foot down. She may have an animal hoarding problem.

I fail to see how 16 cats is a problem.
