Generally, people who have pets, and have done so for a long time are more 'worthwhile' in relationships. They already understand the concept of commitment.
And, note how the pets behave!
As to multiple cats:
1 cat is OK. 2 cats is better. 3 cats is very bad. 4-or-more cats is a function of how much space they have. A woman who keeps horses and has barn cats is a different concept than a woman who keeps multiple cats in the typical NYC walk-up apartment.Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA
