Holy crap that is amazing, I love them all!

And they were all strays, or born from a stray. Already had 5 when I moved here where I am, then made friends with two stray moms who both had 4 kittens, making 15 total. Then another 3 toms came along. Then lastly around xmas a stray kitten (Pip, the grey boy in the top right) showed up at my door in -36c weather, so of course I brought him in.

The only shelter around here has too many cats and will euthanize any brought in so I decided I'm going to do my best to give all these furry rodents love and a place to call home as best as I can, and here we are. It's a killer on the little money I have but they're safe and that's all that matters to me.

Worst part is I'm attached to all of them now lol! I'm not even a cat person...er...wasn't.. I guess I am now.

You're a crazy cat lady, that's what you are!

And proud of it lol! They're my family now. Best part is when I go to sleep I usually have a minimum of 4 of them at any time wanting to sleep with me, or on me. (Bam Bam, the black fuzzy one in particular loves to sleep on my head for some reason.)

How are they all together? My two cats have disagreements sometimes about who gets the prime sunshine spots (even when the space is large enough for both). So I'd be curious about the dynamic for 19 living in one spot.

Not as bad as you'd think. There's some disagreements here and there, but overall they pretty much all get along. The only exception is Jeeves, a black and white cat. For some reason him and two of the others don't get along great, but it's manageable at least.

Just to add to my other comment, It also helps where I live. I have a small old two story house with a basement, so there's 3 levels and lots of little nooks and crannys for them. I have several litter boxes in the basement and on the main floor as well, along with 3 water stations and 4 main food bowls. (Although for wet food and treats I usually have to also break out some dishes so they get a more equal distribution, especially because of Moops (second grey cat down from the top right of the pic) who is very much a food orientated cat, and likes to hoover up as much a he can before anyone else gets a chance.

Right, I had a feeling Moops was a foodie

Thanks. I don't know about that, I've made my share of mistakes and have done a lot of dumb shit in my day. I just can't handle seeing animals (or people) have to struggle to survive. I've been there, it sucks. As long as I can do something about it I will. That's worth more to me than upgrading my old pc or spending money on myself because it makes them happy... which makes me happy.
