At the risk of being run out of here ...
My wife and I are rescuers and a foster home. Over the years, we have had an awful lot of cats come through our house.
Inevitably, we end up keeping the exceptional ones ... and the "broken" or defective ones too.
Currently at 14 (I think) but we have had as many as 20 (two litters of fosters) at one time.
As a kind of therapy, I started a blog almost a year ago. If you are interested, it is here: A Feline Nation
However, and this is critical, due to my wife's tireless efforts our house does not smell.
You can't even tell we have cats, unless one walks up to you or you trip over one of the many pieces of cat furniture or toys laying about.
Here is one of the Siamese-mix residents, "Simon" checking out my new ride just after bringing it home.
Warning: I am about to post more pictures of our cats so if you are in any way squeamish about them or plan to make disgusting anti-cat comments, please leave the thread!

Mo' cats from Casa Del Gatos
Here is the rescue-mobile, AKA my wife's Kia back when we "only" had 10 permanent residents. 
Here is Sassy (short for Sasquatch) waiting for a meal to land. One of our two Maine Coons, she is also one of our two Polydactyls and her paws are the size of a medium dog's. She is the most prolific hunter and deposits moles and mice and the occasional wood rat or rabbit on the back porch.
Here is Remy, our other Maine Coon - not a Poly, but also a great hunter. He seems to focus on the rather large squirrels we have on our 5-acre piece of paradise.
Here is Ollie (the Poly) when he was a kitten. He is a miniature cat and in 4 years has grown no larger than an year-old kitten.
Bobby here is a Manx, and since we have had him on a diet he is down to about 25 pounds. I know, right? Willow is in the back.
From the top: Remy, Willow, Lila and Ollie.
A better shot of Lila (short for Delilah) in her favorite position.
Here is Willow as a rescued baby
And today. My wife says she's not fat, she's "fluffy."
This is Roscoe (RIP) my one and only Himalayan rescue.
Really miss this guy even years later.
Rocky was another Siamese-mix rescue that went missing over the years. He used to love traveling with us. Here he is in his favorite spot while I am driving our Motorhome on vacation.
Marcus and Ginger are our latest graduates from the "Kitten Academy" ready for adoption in South Alabama. (I can drive to deliver them!)
