Our assorted zoo, which at the moment comprises 11 cats (mostly rescues from Eastern Europe), 6 rescued ferrets (who have the run of their own room), 2 llamas and 4 Golden Guernsey goats. We have had more – up to 18 cats at one time, 17 ferrets, a rescued pig, ex-battery hens and a fully grown green iguana (who also had her own room converted into a giant vivarium).

I see my own mentality reflected in this example. “What do we have to do in order to do a really good job with this, even if it takes a little longer or costs more?”

4 cats would seem like an empty house here. It must have been over thirty years since I last had less than ten
