This is a bit late, but more power to you for taking on all these guys. I have 7 in my present pride and they are all inside at night and outside for an hour or two on nice days when I am home. May be some changes due soon if I get a job to help pay my bills. Will be interesting to see how they adjust to my being gone all day 5 days runningand they haveto be in all day. They may get on each other's nerves, in particular the 2 kittens (1yr old) who feel it is their job toaggrevate the older girls. ---- Peggy Verdonck <jetalitosunnys...@gmail.com> wrote: > Lol, 'cats must look for house'.
