Couple splits over 550 house cats <br> Wife was willing to lose husband, but not her pets
The Times Of Israel ^ | 23MAY2012 | Hillary Zaken

Posted on 05/23/2012 7:41:05 PM PDT by Jack Hydrazine

A man from southern Israel divorced his wife this week because she had brought 550 cats into their home.

The husband, apparently not a cat lover, told the Rabbinical Court in Beersheba that he was unable to sleep in his bedroom because the surface of the marital bed was constantly covered with cats who refused to lie on the floor.

The man, in his divorce request, complained that the cats also blocked his access to the bathroom and did not allow him to prepare meals in the kitchen, the Hebrew daily Maariv reported Wednesday. When he sat to eat, cats jumped onto the table and stole his food.

The couple attempted reconciliation at the behest of the rabbinical court. The wife, however, was unable to part from her cats… and preferred to part from her husband.

“I’m speechless that someone prefers her cats to her husband.

He’s better off without her.”

Maybe so, but I’m guessing she wanted him out all along and the “reconciliation attempt” was a mere formality. In any case she’ s definitely missing all her marbles.

once yuou get above 20 cats you don’t need a vet. They begin replacing their own dead so fast you’ll never know how many you really have.

550 cats... what one cat eats in a year and a half is what that horde would go through daily.

I had 5 cats once, after one gave birth and my significant other didn't want to adopt them out until they were older... and keeping up with the cat poop from 5 cats was tiring enough. I cannot conceive of the effort that it would take for 550. That would have to take at least two full-time employees to keep up with. (Could you imagine if it was 550 dogs??? You'd have no yard, you'd just have a thick field of... ugh.

The ammonia smell must be absolutely horrific. Even in a well kept house with a cat, I can smell the cat's elimination. This guy did the best thing that could have ever happened is to get away from the crazy woman. 500 cats as pets is pathologic. Sick. Nuts. Unless the woman is wealthy, the cats cannot be healthy and cared for adequately.

aawww...that’s sweet!

My husband came with cats-only 4 ... I’ve never been into multiple pets, but where there’s love there’s a way!
