There is such a thing as animal hoarding. However, it really does depend on the size of the home. I would say if someone has a 1 bedroom apartment, 4 is too many. I could not imagine the stink in that small place with the kitty litter. If it were a 4 bedroom house or something, then 6-8 MIGHT be acceptable. Any more than 10 would be considered hoarding. Now, if they are outside cats, I don't think there is a limit in my opinion. Most outdoor cats are ones that start outdoors as they come wondering to your neighborhood. When you begin to food them, they stick around and soon you start to call them your own. You are simply helping the cat race.
