Depending on the size of your house .. and how many people or other pets are living their with you .. Probably anything over 4 or 5 cats would start to be excessive.

When a person has more cats than they can correctly take care of them. I have four and they are very well taken care of. For each cat that lives indoors you should have one litter box (per cat). Should be fed a good nutritional food, free of parasites ~inside and out. They should be happy and content.
There are so many people who think they are doing a justified service to the animals they take on. If they are not providing with their basic neccessities, they are doing more harm than good. I think they know that and that is what drives them crazy.

I had 7 at one time and my neighbors would call me the cat lady. I love cats and somehow ended up with 7. Now I only have 1. And I have to admit I enjoy spending time with the 1 I have.

I would say having more than the law allows would definitely qualify you as a "crazy cat person."
Most cities have restrictions on the number of cats you are allowed to have in your home. In our area, five is the most you can legally have--unless you are a breeder or have a kennel. A friend of mine was reported to the city because she had more than that. They told her either get rid of some, or get licensed as a kennel.

my mother had 6 cats and shes not considered a crazy cat person. I dont think there is a specific number. I think it has more to do with a persons behavior as well..

Usually having more than four is against the law depending on the local by-laws. A 'Crazy' Cat lady usually refers to a person with hoarding tendancies and keeps buying or adopting cats long past their ablity to handle them. Depending on your ablity 3-6 should be enough! Although I an quite aware that cats tend to adopt people.

Depends on the size of your home. It is not healthy to have to many cats. You should have enough room that each cat can have his or her own space in the house.

I think it depends on the person-to-cat ratio. The last place I lived we had 6 cats, but 3 individuals living there... now, 6 cats to one person... ewww. thats a lot of litter
