All cats. Yes, 12. The house belongs to them. They have two cat rooms (former guest bedrooms) filled with cat stuff, the run of the rest of the house, and multiple self-cleaning litter boxes in convenient and tidy places.

The dogs, 3 of them, are Tui, Pip, and Mac. We all sit together and watch the cats for entertainment.

I can't stand to see an animal suffer and will rescue them and commit myself to their care.

Yes, we spend a small fortune in vet bills but they're worth it.
