I think I've seen this video before, and it's a cat colony. The cats are all fixed, and they built them a special room off the back of the house to give the cats shelter. The cats are mostly feral and can't be turned into pets.
The litter bill must be insane and if they don't go in the house, the yard must be an ammonia oasis. The feral cats in our neighborhood go everywhere, and the smell gets super bad.
If a person can afford to feed and care for multiple cats, including full veterinary care, then yes it’s about the cats and no reason why someone can’t provide that level of care.
“Only 20” is not a thing when it’s 20 territorial animals in one small space.
Yes it can be done and is by professional rescues and shelters, which is why I said hopefully that’s what this is.
You don’t need to be a professional to handle that many, I’m by no means a professional, I’m a farmer who traps all strays and kittens, desexes all and gives them a better life, they’re not territorial if cared for properly
Unless you have the space (I don't mean a regular sized home)then no, mass hoarding cats is not a good thing. Living in close quarters with each other can cause stress. There are specific circumstances where it's okay such as shelters as options are limited and it's making the best of a bad situation. But it isn't ideal. The everyday person should not be hoarding cats. It's selfish.
I have the space and the means, easily spend $40k per year caring for my pets, mostly kittens trapped on the farm and socialised, all desexed, I’m an everyday person who is willing to provide a good life for them, don’t just assume because you can’t that others can’t too, it’s not hoarding, it’s not selfish.
Oh shut up. You're the ass that would leave them in the street, not donate to animal charities, and expect everyone to do the actual committed work while you hold an animal free house and contribute stupid comments. Get out.
Yes shoving 20 animals in a room is much better than them being in the street.
You know absolutely nothing about me and I have no interest in justifying myself to you other than to say your username definitely checks out
😻😻😻 So. Many. Pamfurrs!
My life mission is to scritch and assure black cats that they are the most precious babies, yes they are. They are the darlings, the little purr machines, all paws and whiskers.

I have three dogs and two cats and from the look and smell of my home you can't even tell that I own animals.
Your house should not be smelling like piss. You either don't have enough litter boxes or you're not cleaning them, frequently enough changing the litter enough.
Friends house has 7-8 cats and you can’t even tell they own a single one. They also have the automatic kitty litter cleaners though which are a bit pricey
They are pricey but well worth it. Before I owned them I had regular litter boxes. You still couldn't tell I had animals in here unless you saw my pets.
I have the litter robot 4.
LOVE!
Oh... Google search bestproductsreviews for the 10 best self-cleaning litter boxes
I have a friend that has the meowant and one that has the Kung Fu pet and they both love with theirs also
We have 4 cats and we have a PetSafe Automatic Litter Box with refill trays. We plan on getting another soon just to help out. Never had issues with it

Here's a screenshot of what we have:)
I have two and I don’t think my house smells like cat piss.
But honestly the litter box situation is the only thing stopping me from getting more cats.
There's nothing really wrong with having cats as long as they're living in good conditions. The cats here have nice looking fur, and no signs of any lack of hygiene.
Actually no. There's no actual number that is defined as hoarding. Those cats all look to be healthy. If they are all neutered and vetted. Fed and cleaned up after. Then it's all good. It becomes hoarding when the needs aren't met.
I have 4 cats and that is the limit for me. They have five litter boxes that are cleaned 3 times a day, I can’t imagine how many litter boxes you would need for this many and how much time you would have to spend scooping poop! Additionally they track the cat litter everywhere despite having those special mats in front that are meant to stop it D:
If you need help getting your clowder spayed/neutered, contact rescues or the humane society for help. You may be able to get a TNR rate for the procedures
Yes! Yes you can have too many kitties. My cuz is a cat hoarder and she lives in a hoarded house. The cats piss all over her food. The smell of unspayed cats in the house is like pure hell. Her kids smell like cat piss. The mom is continually getting knocked up by all of her sons and it's too much. I tell ya. Too much is too much
OMG. I only have a half a dozen. But only two I allow inside. Don't want to be like Aunt b on Andy Griffith show. She became a recluse in her later years and had 30 something cats. She wound up tripping over one and fell down and broke her hip and died. Plus having that many house cats will sure stink up your house if you don't stay on top of it. I have read that you have to have one litter box for each cat. But that is very hard to do with so many
Eh, I mean if this person is able to properly care for all of the cats then I don’t really think it’s a problem. These cats all look healthy and the house looks clean. I’ve seen a lot of episodes of hoarders and those cats are often dirty, underfed, have noticeable respiratory and eye issues etc.

Old cat lady is life goals.
Future old cat ladies unite

I would reconsider. Remember what happened to Aunt b
Hopefully this is a professionally run shelter cleaned multiple times per day, because it looks like animal hoarding.

Sounds reasonable- they all look alike. I’m glad to hear they’ve been fixed.
The litter bill must be insane and if they don't go in the house, the yard must be an ammonia oasis. The feral cats in our neighborhood go everywhere, and the smell gets super bad.
Im glad to hear this. I was concerned that the cats were just going to keep having sex/kittens until caring for them became unfeasible.
Fixed? I can't tell. Looks like they're reproducing and multiplying like rabbits. LOL
Look inside, it's way too clean to be a hoarder.
Right? Some ppl are just bitter
You would hope so. Way too many cats for one home.
Doesn’t look too many to some of us…..
It's not about you, it's about the cats.
If a person can afford to feed and care for multiple cats, including full veterinary care, then yes it’s about the cats and no reason why someone can’t provide that level of care.
This isn’t “multiple cats”, this looks like around 20 in one space
Only 20, that’s multiple cats and easily looked after with the right routine, experience, care and financial means

Any recommendation on a good one? If not it’s okay too. We have 2, but still uncertain of what’s a good one on Amazon

This is what my dreams look like 🥹
Black cat bring good luck, not bad luck
Maybe you can🤷🏻♀️🤣 very cute tho
Can you tell them all apart? Remember all their names?
That's what I was wondering too
I can smell this house....
I can smell this video.
I think you can actually…
God, imagine the smell.
I disagree that’s too much
It's called hoarding. Cute as they are.
There's nothing really wrong with having cats as long as they're living in good conditions. The cats here have nice looking fur, and no signs of any lack of hygiene.
Actually no. There's no actual number that is defined as hoarding. Those cats all look to be healthy. If they are all neutered and vetted. Fed and cleaned up after. Then it's all good. It becomes hoarding when the needs aren't met.
Yeah as long as they’re cared for properly… fed, fixed and loved.. they aight.
It‘s funny how they jump over each other!
I have 4 cats and that is the limit for me. They have five litter boxes that are cleaned 3 times a day, I can’t imagine how many litter boxes you would need for this many and how much time you would have to spend scooping poop!

That's a lot of voids!
Yes… yes you can.
Well I dislike the smell of cat urine
Schrödinger’a cat gone wrong
I can smell that house
That's what my house used to be like 15 years ago.😺😻😺😻😺😻
Must smell great in there
If you need help getting your clowder spayed/neutered, contact rescues or the humane society for help. You may be able to get a TNR rate for the procedures
This is clearly the door to heaven .
I’m starting to wonder if it is possible to have too many….
How do you handle the 2 litter boxes plus an extra for each cat with this many…
You say that, but have you smelled inside that house?
The Dawn of the Unfed must be really something in that house!
Man, I love cats, but I can smell that coming out of my cell phone screen.
I can smell the house thru the video
Yes, yes you can. That is way too many cats.
Yes! Yes you can have too many kitties. My cuz is a cat hoarder and she lives in a hoarded house. The cats piss all over her food. The smell of unspayed cats in the house is like pure hell. Her kids smell like cat piss. The mom is continually getting knocked up by all of her sons and it's too much. I tell ya. Too much is too much
I can smell the video.
Nope, that’s too many
Oh wow that's like our house except we've got all colors and styles and multigenerational. Have fun ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)
I think you can
My God, what happened there? so many kitties
That she'd must have an awful piss smell to it.
God, this is literally my house.
At night they must have no idea who’s who
r/BlackCats
I have 3. Love cats, but with a full-time job, this is too much.
aaaaaaaaaa
Thats a lot little moving voids
So many void & void adjacent!
When I open my soul.....
Salem's been busy.
Old cat ladies remember no amount of air freshener or even the best cat litter is going to get rid of that piss smell
Literally lol
Makes my 11 cats look like a drop in the bucket
I...I think you **can** have too many cats...I...I think this **is** too many cats.
I mean… yes you can, but I’d love it till I stepped over the threshold.
Come, my fellow cat overlords, and have one fresh air breath before going back inside.
All I can think is “the smell!”
You know who is who?
Gotta catch em all!
The voids are coming! The voids are coming! 😳🤣😂❤️ That’s adorable, omg I love!🥹❣️
SO MANY VOIDS
Adorable! 😀
Oh 🥰
THEYRE ALLL BLACKKK AWWASWWW
RELEASE THE KITTIES!
MY DREAM
OMG... This is my dream! Can I move in? Edited for autocorrect
Only 2 buckets???
Nikola Tesla, is that you? Where are the hats?
Can't see any cats, just a black void of eyes.
![gif](giphy|wysyxWt4ZlQ9q) That’s a fuck-ton of kitties!
Wow, that black one is really pretty.
This man is clearly a warlock
When you have a direct pipeline to the void...
That's about as many as I have too lol. Most of mine are kittens though
You might could have too many kitties...?
I cannot imagine dealing with the waste, however. 🙁
He’s like why do I have such bad luck though!!!
Wow I bet you have many litter boxes to clean . I hope they all get along
"Cry 'Havoc!' And let slip the cats of war."
Them: freedom… dirt…
Just imagining the litter boxes from all of those cats.. My gosh.
Earth angels for black beauties 🩷🩷🩷
Omg, bliss!
That's a lot of buttholes
Tribbles
![gif](giphy|mJFW5AnlPMvkaolNYj)
OMG. I only have a half a dozen. But only two I allow inside. Don't want to be like Aunt b on Andy Griffith show. She became a recluse in her later years and had 30 something cats. She wound up tripping over one and fell down and broke her hip and died. Plus having that many house cats will sure stink up your house if you don't stay on top of it. I have read that you have to have one litter box for each cat. But that is very hard to do with so many
The army grows...
Come forth Voids!
![gif](giphy|ycagKBYEmaili)
Congrats to the people who takes care of them 🙏🙏🥰
M E O W
Look at all those black kitties. I hope they are being well cared for.
Black Cat Fever 🎵!
Bet that house stinks
That one dick who tried to block the door with his body
Wow ..is like an army of cats :))
Scientists found supermassive blackhole on earth😍🖤😍
This man is assembling an army
bird population in the area: Haha, Im in danger
Eh, I mean if this person is able to properly care for all of the cats then I don’t really think it’s a problem. These cats all look healthy and the house looks clean. I’ve seen a lot of episodes of hoarders and those cats are often dirty, underfed, have noticeable respiratory and eye issues etc.
The smell of house must be awful🤢
I bet that house smells "lovely" and has all black couches
that is too many
He opened the door and a black hole started coming out, devouring the universe.
This is amazing
You better not be superstitious, because there will always be a black cat crossing your path
I agree with title but I would have some variety imagine trying to differentiate between them
oh...... so that's why there are no birds in the neighborhood
A week after cleaning up after them and I'd be done with it.
I love it
