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
Collection
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

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

Maybe it's time to sell some cats? Hope things work out...

I get it! We've rescued ferrets since 2002. We've gotten too old & I had to put my foot down with hubby & tell him that we're on our last 2. They're very elderly & I'm not doing this anymore. At one point, we had 10 ferrets!

What kind of wife is she. Divorce that bitch it not worth having that many cats. YTD for marrying a crazy cat lady

How is that even legal? I think they max it out at 2 cats per household here. Do you have a farm?

Some states have laws limiting the amount of pets you can own, you should look at those. Also make sure you don't have so many that you are endangering their health.

You do make sure they are truly rescue, right? Because otherwise you might e taking pets with owners. Just because they don't have a collar doesn't mean they aren't owned. I have had five cats that went out and came back with new collars. My da wot let us put collars on then because he is worried they will get caught on one of the many chain fences in the area. But they are all microchipped, loved and fat.

Use a break-away. They are still very sturdy, so I clip the stretchy loop to weaken it. If I have to replace ten a year, I replace ten a year, they're only a buck or two. Good on you for getting them chipped, but if the families that "adopted" your cat(s) move, you will LOSE your cats!

OP, your wife is what you call a cat person, but that doesnt mean you should let her get a whole bunch of cats like a grandma who lives alone would

I brought home a 3rd cat to "foster", and when I asked to keep him because he was so cute my husbands response wss "Ashley, all kittens are cute, even Hitler would find a black kitten named Goldstein cute!". We still have the cat though
