Family's 6 cats watch over brand new kitten as she eats snacks left for strays outside, approve of her and decide to bring her home furrever: 'We absolutely didn't need a 7th cat, but we couldn't let this little one remain outside'

In a house with six cats, if you want to adopt a seventh, you need to call the itty bitty kitty committee for approval. 

As someone who did not grow up with cats and has only experienced cat ownership for the first time as a teen, I can very confidently tell you that owning cats… is not easy. Cats cause chaos all the time. It's part of who they are. I know that now, but back when I started, I thoguht the same thing that most people think - that cats are easy. But they are not. And as the proud owner of one chaotic, chonky beautiful cat, I can tell you that even one cat is enough to cause you some stress sometimes. Having six cats… I can only imagine the chaos. And that's the situation that Bitter-Researcher389 on Reddit has found themselves in. Except it got even more complicated. 

Six cats is enough, and this poster would agree with that statement. But what happens when you have six cats and then a seventh kitten who needs help shows up on your property? What do you do? Well, there is only one answer to that. You may think that you don't want another kitten because six cats are enough, or you may be smitten with the kitten and immediately want to adopt. Either way, it is not your choice. This decision has to run through the itty bitty kitty committee for approval. If the six cats in the house don't want a seventh, then you cannot argue with that. With one cat, you could argue. With two or maybe three, you have a chance. But six? No, this is up to them. And if they choose that they want the seventh sibling… then you don't have a choice but to adopt it.
