Does your County have a law, if so how many cats are too many to have? I dont have any, but what do you think?

Based on my experience more than 1 cat per two rooms is too much.
Most places have only sanitary and humane laws, meaning you can keep as many as you can care for in a healthy environment.
I have a huge house and five was too many. The more you have, the more likely it is that some won't get along. They will fight and start marking territory which is really bad.
If you got all the males from a litter or two, made sure they were all neutered in time and raised them together as brothers, you could have 6-10 and they would be happy. If you have cats of different sexes and some were neutered late, it could be hard to make even two get along.

3 or more, but I love cats its just you don't want to become the creepy cat person. I know that there is a law in my county you can only have 2 dogs in your house.

Well, many cities do have an ordinance concerning the number of cats and dogs you are allowed to have. My city allows 4 cats. Most rural towns don't regulate the number, to the best of my knowledge.
It all comes down to how many animals you can care for PROPERLY. And that includes:
~regular vet care (including any on-going treatments and/or surgeries that may occur)
~quality food and fresh water daily
~maintaining a clean and safe living environment
~grooming
~love and attention
There is no set number, just a standard of quality care that is essential to any animal's health and well-being. What might be considered to be a heavy workload for one person or family might be considered to be a breeze to the next.

Some states of USA (though I don't know about other countries) have laws on limitation of how many animals, depending on what species they are. Check your state or country and see what the law says just to be safe. But for me, I would say 2 is a safe number to have for cats.

Too many is when you have so much cat poop all over that you can't keep it clean,when the neighbors can smell your house from down the block, and when you have dead cats around your house and you don't even know about them. Too many is when you cannot even remember how many you have or their names or if you haven't even named them, also when you cannot afford to feed them or take them to the vet. Too many is when you don't even have a warm safe sanitary place for them to live.

As far as I know America doesn't have a law about the amount of cats you can have. You can have as many cats as you want as long as you feed them.
