Since I’m super allergic to cats, this seems like too many cats. Did you notice most of these cats contain other cats?

Our retired neighbor couple likes to feed these guys. Their house cats sit inside, behind a screendoor, and have long conversations with the outdoor cats. The outdoor cats meow for service, which I like to call MEOWDASH.

They might be cute, but remember: they are coming to get you!!
