    The threshold that someone considers “too many animals” is always the number they have plus one.

      We have 3 cats. I don’t understand how my wife’s best friend does it with the amount of pets they have. They have 2 ferrets, 2 cats, and 4 dogs.

        For us it’s feet

        Pet feet cannot outnumber human feet, full stop. Otherwise you lose control and are no longer in charge.

        It’s a working theory but so far has been accurate.

          I see a couple of flaws

          1. Nobody who lives alone is allowed a pet
          2. If you have a toddler, in this rule that enables you to expand the number of pets, but I’d say a toddler adds to rather than eases the load

          We’re at a tie right now then. 4 people and 3 cats. The theory seems to have a giant loophole for snakes and fish though.
