We have three currently as well...

It started out with one (a big old smart and arrogant bastard of a medium-haired orange tabby named Nathaniel, after Nathaniel West, the author), then we got another kitten Blue, who was 1/2 Abyssinian, a beautiful grey little guy. He got hit by a car and after $7K in medical bills, they still couldn't put his crushed pelvis back together. Still chokes me up to type this, we had to put him down and were there with him at the end.

This was Blue:



Wife convinced me to adopt another cat, so we went up to a friends place who runs a de-facto animal shelter for about 50 cats, and adopted two Siamese cats. One was a mom with 5 kittens (we found homes) and the other was another older kitten from a different litter. Serene is the mom, Akira is the kitten.

The wife is a crazy cat lady in training, for sure. Her parents own the largest cat I've ever seen, who's a Maine Coon cross named Brutus. He's easily 28-30 pounds of pure muscle and eats other cats for snacks.
