I don't personally know anyone like that but I've heard of it. It's called "hording"--usually the person thinks he or she is doing a good thing by rescuing unwanted animals but at some point the horder reaches a point where he/she cannot keep up with the care so many animals need and the animals' health and maintenance goes downhill fast, and usually the living conditions become so bad it starts affecting the health and safety of the caregiver too. It starts as a good intention that gets out of hand. It's actually a mental disease (sort of a compulsion like being anorexic--the horder won't admit that the situation is out of control and no one is benefiting anymore). You should call the local animal protection agency to check out the situation--some places have laws about how many animals are allowed in one household; if there isn't such a law in your area, the animal control folks will check to make sure both animals and humans are all safe, healthy and able to meet all the needs (cost of food, medical, etc.).

Not personally, but there was a lady who was on Dr. Phil who had 200 cats. Also, there is always the seemingly crazy lady on The Simpsons.

And why are you looking in a lady's windows? U a peeping Tom?

That kind of stuff will get you arrested-then you will not worry about the catlady.

If you have serious concerns, call the local animal control or SPCA.

i know someone with 5 cats that pee everywhere... icky! i would call ASPCA or animal control, because more than likely there is a "rule" against owning too many animals in one household. "animal cruilty" and it is probably too much for an old lady to take care of... call them... now!

Yes, you see animal hoarders on Animal Precinct all the time. It is a mental illness related to OCD.

I wish I did but, they would have to be spayed/neutered and four paw declawed.
