    Flying Food
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the alarming situation of a woman reportedly caring for 130 cats, prompting concerns about hoarding and the well-being of the animals. Participants express disbelief at the sheer number of cats, with some humorously referencing the "crazy cat lady" stereotype. Concerns are raised about the potential for the cats to damage her home and the implications of hoarding as a mental disorder. While some acknowledge that the cats appear well cared for, there is skepticism about whether they are all spayed or neutered, raising fears of overpopulation and disease transmission among the animals. The conversation reflects a mix of humor and serious concern for the cats' welfare, as well as the financial burden of their care.

I know there are plenty of cat lovers on here, but I think even you people can't stand them when there are THIS many! :biggrin: This is actually scary!

:smile:That is nuts! Those cats were going crazy when she brought the food in. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up destroying her home.
 
Hoarding is a mental disorder, these people don't understand the harm they are doing. She believes she has saved these cats, she dosen't understand, for the cats, its like torture.
 
I wonder how many of the neighbor's cats are locked in her room.
 
But really, think of all the cat litter...

... but maybe she just let them out a few at a time instead.

Either way, it isn't pretty.

I can't wait to get home and watch this.
 
Poor kitties. :frown:
 
They look well cared for, but surely they aren't confined to a single room? Better than seeing them in an animal shelter with them in small cages though. I guess.

I certainly hope those are all spayed and neutered.

Quit laughing. I think that's my sister-in-law.

Except my sister-in-law only had 20 or 30 or so last time I saw her house, but that was a few years ago.

130!?? That's a lot of cats. That's 5 'The Cat in the Hat Comes Backs' (one of my favorite stories, by the way).

It might be fun to dump a bunch of mice in the room.

Fun? I'd find it incredibly cruel.
 
  • #16
For whom, the mice or the cats?

It must cost a lot if she's feeding them right. They look healthy in the video.

I can't imagine they are all spade and neutered. It simply would cost too much. Plus if they are strays, isn't it pretty much guaranteed that one or two(likely many more) of them carry a disease and will pass it on to all of them eventually? :-( Is there an article about this?

http://www.englishrussia.com/?p=1199 is all i could find, (a few more video's)
