as long as you can financially support them you can have as many as you want. i had 9 cats at one time....so i don't think 4 is too many, my animals make me HAPPY

This depends on your living arrangements, the type of cats you have (Are they pedigrees? If so, which breed?), if you are at home a lot or away and many other factors.
My vet did once say to me that 6 is the optimum number for a group of cats - but again - this depends on so many factors.
I have a lot of cats (17 at the moment including kittens - I breed them as a hobby), but they all get along fine. They're a very easy-going, laid back breed (Ragdolls) and enjoy each others company. I don't have any problems with aggression or inappropriate behaviour. I don't think it would be the same story if I had a different breed of cat!
If you work full time and are a single person I'd probably say that 2 is better than 1. A single cat may become lonely when you are at work and then start to show behavioural problems. With two cats, even if they don't get on particularly well they'll still be good company for each other!

If you don't like cats, then 1 is too many! But anyway my friend had 2 cats got married to someone with 2 cat and she when and got another 1. and it seem like too many for 2 people so I would say 2 should be good, because when you are not around they would still have a companion to hang out with.

Personally, I think 3 cats, or pets in general, is the limit.
But, if you keep them inside, don't let them breed uncontrolled, are well fed, and have regular vet visits, then it is your business. I have friends with four cats, a dog, and a bird, and they seem to all get along just fine.

3 or more cats is always to many. 1 is not enough. Either get 0 or 2 cats.

Most of the time if you get more than 3 -4 cats in a hosehold-somebody is going to have behavior issues. This includes stress-related urinary issues and aggressive tendencies. Cats are generally solitary animals. One or two is enough.

As a rule, if you cannot take care of the number of pets you have(ie.. food, cleaning, vet visits, etc..)then you definitely have too many. iIt is required by law, lin America, that you register, or license, your pets at your vet, if you cannot afford to keep up the bills, then you have too many.
