All our cats are inside only, and all are feed on Super Premium Food.
My wife and I don't want kids, so to us there our children, even at 1 week old a baby kitten is toilet trained, sleep 20 hours a day, and never ever complain, so alot easier than children.
She also is a cat rescuer/fosterer, 4 out of the 7 are rescued, I sorted have no choice really if she brings home another cat LOL. But 7 should be the limit, I hope.
Majority are siameses so don't shed alot. And because they are always inside they dont feel hot so they don't tend to shed either.
She spends more money on them a week than me! Its always about the cats.
Its the The land of goat sphincter rings Van that is the water/swimming cat. They act very similiar to a dog.
