i rescued one cat and thats hard enough to cope with. my cat doesnt stink though and neither do any of my friends cats it depends on whether they have been spayed and neutered.
i love my cat but wish she was a dog

It depends on where she lives and does she have the spayed and neutered? Also are the cats vaccinated? I know a couple who live on a farm and they 4 dogs and about 20 cats, plus horses and livestock. All of the animals are well taken care of.

wonder how it all started, someone having a "cat house?" you know, like how did it begin?

If some person wants a house that reeks to high heaven with the cat funk scent, then who am I to interfere? They are saving lives from extermination, but lets hope they have the means to keep them all healthy. I love cats but I think I'd just hate to live next door...

do they have the need to be a "rescuer"? curious, it really is interesting.....im sure the psychologists would love to speculate.

yeah cats DO make most houses stink. I think ive only been in one cat owners house in my whole life where the cats didnt bother me all that much, and their home never stunk.......

Well I'd imagine that there'd be a major difference between the smell of an abode that's housing only a few felines and then that of a place that is housing hundreds as stated in the question. The smell of hundreds must be unbearable. All animals (and people), if not kept tidy will eventually become foul.

Just check out the cat hoarder on "HOARDERS", so nasty, the amount of dead cats in her house was sickening, She didn't even know she had dead cats because the stench of cat faeces was far too overwhelming. The cats that where alive where all sick and diseased as was she.

i knew a chick whose relative had a cat house also..... i think they were pretty commited to feeding the cats.....i was always curious what the neighbors thought about it since they lived with pretty close proximity.

Here is a bit of the actual show I was talking about, though it is not funny as they make it seem on this particular video. The fellas doing the clean up on the actual show where throwing up. http://youtu.be/KXNf7gGBpBY

As long as they're not in my yard or bothering my dog I don't mind. I like the fact that she's doing this.

I can understand a few cats as a pet, but a persons house is no place to run a shelter. If thats the case and she really wants to do that she should open up an animal shelter and do it the right way.

As long as the value of my house is not affected, I'm ok with it. If the value of my home is affected, I'm the neighborhood's newest commercial coyote breeder.

hoarding is a sickness? so like if someone has a closet full of clothes, a schmall closet (not a HUGE closet) is that also hoarding? I dont have a prblem with it, but one of my ex wives SURE did! 2012.

As long as there's no health risks to herself, her family, neighbors, the cats, etc. fine.

if you have the room, and the means to take care of them, why not?
but if the cats are running you out of your own home, then i think its time to find homes for some of those cats
