Should I rat out my mother for having too many cats (20+)?
546830
Yes. \n\nDon't consider it "ratting her out."  This is a health issue.  She may have a mental disorder, such as being a "collector."  It's not a horrible thing, but she should be treated for it.\n\nAlso, it's not fair to the cats to have that much competition for affection, as well as the "disease factor."  Can your mother afford to take all of the cats to the vet?  Can she afford to feed them all?  Can she clean up after so many cats?\n\nYou'd be doing your mom a favor if you "anonymously" told the authorities.

I think that's a hard one.I'm sure that it does bother you but she probably will have a hard time changing this rather disgusting habit.Therefore I would suggest that you do your best to control your uncontrollable desire to smack the food right out of her mouth.She is your mother and she deserves your respect. I'm sure she could name a list of your less desirable qualities as well after all she was the one who wiped your bottom for two or three years when you couldn't do it yourself. If it bothers you that much and after talking to her about it without food in her pie hole she still insists on the seee food approach. Well perhaps its time to avoid dinner with her and your friends. Good luck!

your mom is offering to help you!! she wants the best for you and is willing to do what it takes for you get treatment and life on back on track..she seems like a responsible caring woman so i would say stick with your mother even if it means getting kicked out of your house! its only because she loves you and until you figure out the consequences of your actions..then i presume she will keep doing it

I AGREE with you sooooo much that it isn't even close to funny. I have been saying the same thing for a while now. BUT I don't stop at what you have said. I go a bit further with I CAN'T smoke in a bar or club now. I MUST wear my seat belt. I MUST wear my helmit. I CAN'T write on this post F**K you. Another one is that kid that has been wearing DRESSES in school all year long and he got to his prom and they REFUSED to let him in. Now most recently here in S.E. MA area and I don't know what states are included if you have a cat it MUST be spade or neutered by 6 months old. Even tho I understand the logic Who the HELL is the GOVERNMENT to tell me I WILL spade or neuter my cat. Yes I have five cats and they are ALL spade or neuter. BUT THAT isn't the point. The GOVERNMENT is putting their noses into OUR BUSINESS TOO MUCH. They wiretap our cell phone. Come on give me a break already. BUT anyway I have rambled on enough, YOU ARE SOOOO RIGHT.

If you are 30 and unmarried, i'm sorry but your just an old maid. Make sure you can financially care for yourself and your cats.

She (who is she? - the cat's mother).  Correction, I mean your mother, has far more experience in life than you and her judgment on all matters will therefore be far better, IN MOST CASES, than yours.   Next time, you both disagree about a topic, agree to accepting what a third party has to say on the subject.  If you are wrong, be brave enough to admit it and apologize.  If you are right, I am sure your mother will do likewise.   Enjoy your mothers company and if you can, confide in her on all matters.  She is the only one you get in this life and you will miss her terribly when she eventually goes.  God bless.

You can prolly get away with more if grandma does it. Moms are to noticable. Do you have cool gmas?

A cat had five kittens in our garage about 6 weeks ago.  We just caught them yesterday.  We're trying to wean them and get them used to bipeds ;o) so that we can find good homes for them.\n\nThey're still a little scared sometimes, but I think it's turning out okay.

Get a couple of cats.

Yes, you should be worried.  I would talk to your mother, see if she had any flings with a canine, or maybe a bigfoot.  There is a good chance that your sister isn't 100% human.  You should immediately shove her into a cage before her animal instincts kick in and she eats your throat.

that is something you need to discuss with your mother. She may have her reasons. Talk to her

You seriously need to make some serious changes. You have to create boundaries. It sounds like the requests you have made are falling on deaf hears. It seems to me you are trying to make everyone happy except yourself. Tell them if you are going to live in my house these are the rules if they don't like them they can leave. When your mom came back you could of asked her why are you here? When she said why do i have to tell them to pay the electric bill, it was because she is the one who invited them to stay. The things you are going to have to do will be uncomfortable. Your family will not like the new assertive you. Your mom is dependent on you and you are her co dependent. When she threatened you by saying she was going to leave and you said fine go ahead she was testing you. She did leave but she came back and you let her stay. So now what you say and what she says and your actions don't match. It's like when a parent tells his child no but then lets them have what they want. You have to back up what you say with actions and stick to them. You have fallen into the role of parent. You are not the parent you are the child but now your mom is acting like the child and now you are her parent. I think she should help you more. Do you want your brothers there? You did nothing wrong what i think you possibly feel is guilt because it is your mother and you feel obligated but your not obligated. No one should be taken advantage of.

well if she has had a litter before you can use how many she had.you can go with how many sibling she had when she was boen and the fathers siblings if this is the first,but if you dont know any of this info its safe to say that she will have 6 to 8 pups.
