Leave it to MSNBC to tackle the really hard questions facing our country :)

Maternal instinct gone awry, female preference for smaller, lower maintenance cats as opposed to dogs, and therefore a much higher liklihood of infection with
toxplasa gondii.
This also explains Obama being elected President.

Well adjusted men & women can enjoy both cats and dogs, although they most certainly can have their personal preference to enjoy one more than the other.
That said, I'd suggest that dogs, in general, represent more stereotypical male behavior - gluttony, aggressiveness, playfulness with reckless abandon, etc. Cats on the other hand represent more stereotypical female behaviour - cleanliness, gracefulness, and you may even go as far as to say (dare I?) manipulative behavior.
So, I'd guess that females who do not connect with men in general, do connect with the stereotypical female traits found in cats.
Or maybe I'm full of bologna. In which case, pass the Wonder bread and mustard....I'm hungry.

In many of these cases I believe, the person hoarding the cats started with the best of intentions, I know/knew of such a lady.
She was just so upset that the SPCA etc was killing these beautiful animals, that she wanted to do something about it, for years she did a very good job, over time people dumped so many animals on her that she became overwhelmed, did not know how to say no to people, and may have snapped.

That is not important, the cats are just like stuffed animals to them. There was (30years ago+), an old lady on my paper route who had a house full of them.. 50+! She had no air conditioning and in the summer the house smelled so bad I hate to even deliver the paper.. let alone collect the weekly amount!
Once a relative was there and when I asked said the cats were like her kids or stuffed animals. She would not let any of the family or friends move the cats out!
So I will go with the stuffed animals answer he gave me. I had the route for like 2 years and her house smelled worse the whole two years!

the reason they have so many cats is that cats have...kittens.
Here in the Philippines, we finally got mama cat fixed after her 4th litter in four years...24 kittens we had to give away.
Hope it works: We paid to fix two female dogs, and they still have puppies every year...but puppies are easier to give away: our dogs are friendly but make good watch dogs for protection (no guns allowed in the Philippines).
