Man....4 is totally enough kitties for me! The main thing I have a problem dealing with having lots of kitties is disperssing enough love to all! Bubba needs his scratches, but you have to be careful where you do it because he likes to release his anal glands when he's happy (eeewww!), so the bed is deffinately out. Kuma needs lots of time to squeak at you and give lots of headbumps and kisses while you give him a few good strokes. Macaroni just wants to be on you cuddling and being loved, but she loves to kneed which tends to be painful and she drools! Kola is a spazzy kitten, but when I get home from work I have to take time out to cuddle her for about 20 min. If I try to put her down before 20 min. is up (or how ever long she wants to be cuddled) she'll give you the sad eyes and stand on her back legs until you scoop her up and let her snuggle into your shoulder (actually, my shoulder, she only likes this from me not mike). It's so sweet to have a kitten snuggled up under your chin purring louder than any kitten should be able to purr, but when I look up I see everyone else sitting around looking jealous of the kitten snuggle. Especially Mac, she narrows her eyes at me to show how much she disapproves!

How do you give out the love? I know you're supposed to only give even amounts of attention to all when everyone's in the room, but I have to get everyone one on one so they all get their attention and don't fight over me!

By the way, I have so much respect for you that you're able to keep all those kitties happy and healthy...your vet bills must be unbelievable!
