[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is nothing wrong with four cats. We have three plus a dog and it's really very easy. I can't imagine adding one more would be any issue at all, except for the additional vet bills.

I know people with four cats, people with six dogs, people with 20 chickens, people with all kinds of animal=loving arrangements. It is not a big deal.

Don't ask the most animal-hating corner of the internet what they think. They think dogs should be eradicated, cats are a sign of witchcraftery, etc. People on this board are absolutely nuts. If you really want to make them go crazy, tell them your wife is a vegan, too. [/quote]

I'm more worried about the "desperate all I want in the world is a fourth cat" business. I mean, I'm a crazy cat lady with two, and if we found a stray or had to take in a family member's cat I'm sure it would be fine. But it's not an obsession for me. I don't NEED another cat. Maybe I don't actually qualify as a cat lady? Anyway, what's stopping OP's DW from saying she wants a fifth for Christmas or a sixth for next year's birthday? What would actually make her feel satisfied? To me, that's more of an issue than another litter box. [/quote]

My first thought is she wants another because she wants the little kitten phase again, sort of like people with are addicted to babies and end up having a lot of kids. So, I'd want to suss that part out. If she just really adores cats, and another long-term addition would bring her joy, then sure. Provided it's a thoughtful addition, as PP noted.[/quote]

And just like kids, I'd space them out age wise. Otherwise they get old and die close together too. [/quote]
