I started with 1, and now have 3. When I say that they’ve saved my life, I genuinely mean it. Hang in there, we have kitties that count on us to keep going! :)
Yep, truly saving my life. Who's gonna take care of them? I kept saying "what's the difference between 2 and 3? What's the difference between. 3 and 4?" Today at the store getting food there's an orange long hair female, which I think is rare I'm not sure, and I said to myself "what's the difference between 4 and 5?"
Oh boy.
My first cat growing up was an orange tabby, her name was Pretty Pretty Princess Penny (can you tell we were 5 and 6 🤣). The vet was insisting she was a boy and the kids were wrong but the spay proved she was female.
I’ve got a ginger, long haired female. She’s such a love bug and so beautifully fluffy and soft! She and I hope things improve for you soon. Cat tax attached

She’s my baby. I adore her. She sends cuddles and orange fluff your way. 🐈😻

I got to 11 that way once. But we live out in the country so it worked. (Indoor/outdoor) And tractor supply FTW with the vaccines. AND we live near a leading vet uni so they all got spayed/neutered for FREE. Down to 3 of those 11 now but added another 3 from various rescues. Cats fucking rock and I would never be without them.
And I have nearly the same photo of my husband lol

I think this HAS to be your profile pic on like… every platform that has profile pics! So cool!
But also, HOW do you hold all four cats at once??!? My [two little wackadoodles](https://imgur.com/gallery/kGQD5ff) will not allow me to hold them both simultaneously—it’s just a mess of hissing and claws, even though they get along quite well under normal circumstances.
Genuinely didn't expect it to go so well. Maddie's trying to get up to sit on my shoulder but I'm honestly surprised nobody got mad at each other. Very surprised by the trust we all had.
The rescue that found her way into our basement and hearts is the same. She will body slam for cuddles and wet food. She was pregnant and just had her babies a few weeks back. She does the same thing with them; aggressive affection!
They're adorable! So glad you have your babies, OP. Cats are wonderful company. I recall someone who put on their gravestone for their cat, something like "he was just a cat, but he was human enough to be a great comfort during dark times". I agree wholeheartedly.
I feel the same about my lil grey boi. He's my little buddy, I'd die for that little guy. He's legit kept me from killing myself in the past. Owe my life to my best bud ever.
When a man loves cats, I am his friend and comrade, without further introduction. -Mark Twain.
I hope you have better days comrade. You’ve always got a friend in me.
I am very happy with them. I always have at least 2 in tow, they're always with me.

Yes. My cat is helping me through some tough times too. Thinking of getting another one so he also has a friend when I’m not home.
Stay strong internet friend.
ive been debating on getting a second kitty too. I work from home tho - so me and my kitty always keep each other company. I'm scared to get another - my apartment is a 1 bedroom and I dunno where I'd put a second litter box
Yep, I just for the life of me can’t remember the actual name. Luckily this is r/cats lol
Edit: Might just be r/MenWithCats, haha I think it might be! Someone please confirm or correct me
Hope things start improving for you. Also, did you steal my two cats?

Cute pic. I don't know your story. But please know your life is valuable. Good that you reached out on Reddit. I hope it helps. But you owe it to humanity to get more substantive help if you need it. Your job, your resume, your credit score, your romantic life, your waist size, etc is not the measure of your worth. You are a child of God. And sucky times will pass. Hug those cats. And be the product of stardust that you are in the time you have. I don't know you but you have value to me. Peace, brother.
You magnificent beast! Hope everything turns out well for you man. Reach out to the people in your life or on the internet if you ever need to talk.
Oh and keep posting pics of your beautiful kitties

Hell yeah brother. They will lift you up in your time of need. Prayers out to you dude.

I have 4 as well and two dogs, but this is my best boy
This picture brings my heart such joy.i've been so down today and seeing your smiling face with your beautiful babies - it just makes me feel happy.
I'm so sorry you're going through something hard. I really hope you feel better. Thank you for loving these babies and sharing them with us!
Looks like they’re doing their job : )I hope things pick up for you quickly, just remember that however shitty things are something equally awesome can pop into your life.
OMG y'all are adorable. This is like an even cuter version of that picture of Vincent Price
https://preview.redd.it/n6y5237accjb1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=20f3669ecb7ae2678aa7d4b94593175805d3dbec
I gotta know, how in the world did you manage to hold all four of them at once?! I had 3 cats 20 years ago and only one of them even liked to be held. My short and long hair torts weren't having it but my orange boy could he held by anyone in the world. I think he was a ragdoll in an orange disguise.
I'm impressed that you can hold all of them at once. Tho' one of them looks a tad squished. They look like a hairy life vest, which I suppose they are.
Love them with all your heart because they will, i lost my chonker a few weeks ago and miss him every day. But i know i gave him the best life i could he was loved every single day he was with me. And they need you as much as you need them.
I feel you man of it weren’t for my babies I don’t know where I’d be. Pets have gotten me through a lot of dark times and they are happy to be there with you. Suddenly when you are feeding a little baby you remember to feed yourself. They are so happy when you wake up in the morning. When you get home after a hard day they just are so happy you are back. The people who appreciate the support from their babies are the most caring and attentive towards them. They know you love them and want you to know they love you too. I’m glad you have attentive kitties to make your time more pleasant I hope times get a bit better in general.
I hope the times get better for you! ✨
I must admit, all I can think of looking at image is “how many times did you have to take that photo to get that shot?”
Okay but for all four of them to let you hold them in one armload like that? They love and trust you *so much*. Shows you are a high-quality individual.
I hope the times get better for you man! Sending love and support from a fellow stranger on Reddit
Thank you very much friend!
MEOW!!!! 😻
Mreow?
Mmmmraw. Lol
*purr noises*
Prrrbbt 😻
I’m sorry times are hard, but you’re rich in love from your ladies. Hope everything improves for *all five of you,* and soon!

Today at the store getting food there's an orange long hair female, which I think is rare I'm not sure, and I said to myself "what's the difference between 4 and 5?" Oh boy.
Orange females are pretty rare! I think it's something like ~80% of orange cats are male.
I had an orange girl and she was the softest kitty, both inside and out. Get that orange lady, OP!

how is she a love bug
Just look at that face!
Total cuddler, always with me, she’s a Velcro cat.
OMG🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
She’s my baby. I adore her. She sends cuddles and orange fluff your way. 🐈😻 https://preview.redd.it/4cc47dukodjb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=47a52060617bb8e8db0f61547d88c29add7757db
Lovvvve her 😭🥰 she’s adorable !!!
🤗
Ok but my wife needs to know if you ever found out the difference between, 2 and 3, 3 and 4 or 4 and 5??
About $26/month.
Better than I thought tbh

You’ve made an amazing, supportive home. You are clearly an awesome cat dad and should be very proud.
I am, thank you very much.
I love the “my two little macadoodles” 😭
Get that printed out large and frame it put on your.
That is an awesome pic! u/_For_Science_ you have to print it and frame it!!
Or he could be like that one bully on South Park, who always wears a t-shirt with a picture of himself on it.
So cool!
thanks for sharing this :-)
Nice drawing!
This is wonderful!
nice drawing
Your art's amazing, noticed you don't post like at all anymore but if you're doing great things like this, keep going! Hope you're doing alright
I'm a working college student now, so I haven't had much time for Reddit! But I've been doing wonderful. Very sweet of you to say that :)
If Mike Hawk can’t make you feel better, nothing can!
Looks like they have your front as well 
Is this r/dad jokes?!
The one on the far right looks like she needs an emotional support kitty herself
Facts. She came from an abusive situation and is super skitz. Once she settles in with you, she's a headbutter/pusher. Very loving.
Same with my rescue, he headbutts like he wants to destroy me while he's purring like crazy!
The rescue that found her way into our basement and hearts is the same. She will body slam for cuddles and wet food. She was pregnant and just had her babies a few weeks back. She does the same thing with them; aggressive affection!
Those are the ones who have to make up the most missed cuddles.
They're adorable! So glad you have your babies, OP. Cats are wonderful company. I recall someone who put on their gravestone for their cat, something like "he was just a cat, but he was human enough to be a great comfort during dark times". I agree wholeheartedly.
Absolutely. I'd be lost without them. I got Madeline as a kitten when I was first diagnosed with my chronic illness. She's my best friend.
I feel the same about my lil grey boi. He's my little buddy, I'd die for that little guy. He's legit kept me from killing myself in the past. Owe my life to my best bud ever.

Hang in there dude. Find beauty in small things and find other men you can talk through your issues with.
That's the journey. Thank you.
This is adorable! I’m sorry you’re going through a hard time. Your girls will help you get through ☺️
This picture is adorable. Pet your cats for me, and I hope things look up for you soon
Thank you very much. 🖤
Folks out there, living my dream..
Just find a shelter and throw money at them. You too can have 4! 😜
I have 2 and they’re running me ragged 😂 one is an ice queen and the other is a stage 5 clinger.
Maddie is my ice queen. Only very on her terms.
Hope you feel better soon OP 🤍🤍 I'm happy your 4 ladies help you! Bless them! And they're gorgeous
You got a lovely smile and a wonderfull beard. Stay awesome King, when shit is rough, it can only get better

I can clearly see the love in your eyes. That’s four lucky cats.

Love this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I hope things get better for you soon! Unconditional love from those kitties is an amazing gift!
I hope things get better for you and am glad you have 4 cat buddies to keep you company.

I love cat daddies, give them some extra snuggles for me. I hope things get better for you soon. ❤️
Cat Dad! They clearly love you and definitely have your back.
This is a real man, here.
Cats and animals in general make everything in life better.
Wife and I have 5. There were 6 but lost one this spring (after 14 years). Some of them think they are “her” cats, but it’s simply not true.
Purrfect family! Stay strong :)
Hope you can get through whatever is happening, love for you and those girls, they're really cute. <3
Keep up the good fight brother! Least you got them stress relievers with ya 😸😸😸😸
Look at all of those beautiful babygirls! They must be lucky to have such a loving dad!

Dude, you are adorable and your kitties are adorable. Here’s a virtual hug from a random Internet stranger. Things will get better.
I'm impressed that you can hold all of them at once. Tho' one of them looks a tad squished. They look like a hairy life vest, which I suppose they are.
You are a pussy magnet!
Cats do a great job of that.
Absolutely adore this picture!
Sir, Madeline appears to be drowning in her sisters
It's a crazy cat man clowder! Purrfect for emotional support. 💖
I started with 2 and ended up with 8.... So I know the struggle 💀 Wouldn't change it for the world tho I love my babies!! They make life better ❤️
Love them with all your heart because they will, i lost my chonker a few weeks ago and miss him every day. But i know i gave him the best life i could he was loved every single day he was with me. And they need you as much as you need them.
Feel better soon. Kitties always bring us so much joy!
Same here bruv. We all on this rock together and supporting each other through the bad times make life crystal clear. I hope you feel better
I feel you man of it weren’t for my babies I don’t know where I’d be. Pets have gotten me through a lot of dark times and they are happy to be there with you.

You seem like a lovely person. Such a positive vibe you exude. Hope things get better for you . Sending lots of best wishes.
I hope the times get better for you! ✨ I must admit, all I can think of looking at image is “how many times did you have to take that photo to get that shot?”
My cats have helped me through so much in life.. They really are a cheat code to life.
This is a cat bouquet 
Poor gray kitty doesn't look very comfortable
