Gee, we have, lessee, 16 cats right now.  How can 4 be "really enough"?
Granted, we raise cats, so things are always in flux.  (Four were born
Monday; one departs to new home tomorrow...)

More seriously, but without intending to flame, I wonder how it happens
that people get cats they just "can't keep"?  I know that it happens now
and then when someone discovers they are allergic to cats only after having
a cat for a while, or when the home/apartment situation changes so that
pets are no longer allowed, but these are rare compared to the number of
cats for which people suddenly "must find a home."
