\"\"<\/a>Let\u2019s get something straight. I know for a fact that I have seven cats. I have a beautiful photo to prove it and I even know all of their names and can recognize them properly about 90% of the time without getting them mixed up. So, why does it seem like there are dozens of cats living in the house?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When the kids visited for the holidays, it seemed like everywhere I turned there were cats. I\u2019m making cookies and am surrounded by them, their fur, and their dander (my secret ingredient). When I was wrapping presents, they were all over the place \u2013 some of them sitting on wrapping paper, some chewing on ribbon (bad kitty) and some hiding inside empty gift bags. When we sat on the couch to watch Christmas movies, it was like a conveyor belt of cats as we saw them randomly walking to and fro with an air of confidence and urgency past the TV.<\/p>\n

Getting some help in the kitchen...<\/p><\/div>\n

At night, before I go to bed, I always get my clothes ready for work for the next day. I think I am completely alone, but as soon as I open the closet door, it is literally instantly filled with cats. How do they do that? And how is it that they are already on the top shelf? During the night as I try to get some sleep, there seems to be an endless changing of the guards as one cat after another tries to find that perfect \u201csnuggle spot\u201d on the bed (or my head). When I wake up in the morning, stumbling to get out of bed, I feel like I have tripped over at least a dozen cats before I make it to the bathroom.<\/p>\n

The closet door is barely open and Zee is already in there!<\/p><\/div>\n

The last thing I do before I leave for work is scoop litter boxes. No sooner am I done scooping one box, that a cat doesn\u2019t appear and use it again. I move on to the next litter box to find another cat waiting\u2026 Sigh\u2026<\/p>\n

It\u2019s like those little sponge capsules we got as kids \u2013 just add water and watch the creatures grow!! The only time I feel like we don\u2019t have any cats at all is when the cat carrier comes out. Oddly enough, all the cats vanish without a trace of evidence\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Can you tell who is who??<\/p><\/div>\n
