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.
Is that your opinion just for cats? I have a one bedroom apartment with 3 dogs, 5 chinchillas, a hedgehog, an iguana, and a bearded dragon and I can guarantee my home doesn't smell. I think any home that can keep up on the waste on a daily basis should have no reason to stink, regardless of the amount. I won't have a cat because I can not tolerate cleaning a litter box and I know that it has to be a minimum of once daily...yes cats do stink LOL
