Cats are not simple house pets :3

[SilverTheProtogen :3]

In their graceful movements and mysterious demeanor, cats exhibit a divine elegance that transcends the ordinary. Unlike traditional pets, cats demand respect, and they command our attention with a regal presence that harks back to ancient times when feline creatures were revered as deities.

Consider the independence that defines our feline companions. Cats roam freely, answering to no master, and in doing so, they embody a sense of autonomy akin to that of celestial beings. Their inscrutable gaze hints at a wisdom beyond our comprehension, leaving us to ponder whether they possess a divine knowledge that eludes our understanding. :3

As one that cares for 18 rescue cats, I can easily say that's totally the toxoplasmosis talking.

The fearless house-cat is a viable predator...

The same amount as my local cat shelter (yes that is true actually). I am impressed.

Yeah but they sure beg if they can see the bottom of their food bowl!😸

See how much respect a cat commands from my dog.

I don't see how people can live with that many dogs or cats. A woman and her husband who lives a few doors has 15 dogs and like 30 cats that live in their house.

That's a bit much, to put it lightly.

Fwiw, even though we've got the space for it (the majority of the house is gen-pop space), it's a bit overwhelming at times, a ton of work, and certainly it's own financial burden.
I can't speak for those down the street from you, ours are all well cared for.

Many years ago the local shelter here wasn't "no kill" in regards to abandoned/feral cats, and there was a feral female that decided she was going to live in our garage, be friendly-ish with us, and pump out babies for a couple years.

As we didn't want her or any of the offspring to be destroyed, we'd take what we could in and adopted many out. What remains are the rest across a few generations (well, 13 of them are...2 we had before all that started, and 3 were brought to us after being found as abandoned kittens on the street).

When you walk past their house they have an awful stench coming from their house.

Unlike traditional pets, cats demand respect, and they command our attention with a regal presence are malicious jerks that harks back to ancient times when feline creatures were revered as deities of human foolishness and barbarism.

...Cats roam freely, answering to no master, and in doing so, they embody a sense of autonomy callous indifference akin to that of celestial demonic beings. Their inscrutable gaze hints at an wisdom insatiable malevolence beyond our comprehension...

...But they are, none-the-less, still devilishly cute critters.

You made a few errors OP, I took the liberty of fixing it for you.

You're right they're silent killers always planning your death

I bet, that many would require a huge amount of space and tending to.
Like I said, it's a lot of work to take proper care of them.
This includes making sure it doesn't odor-bomb the neighborhood by cleaning their spaces frequently, having enough boxes, and daily litter/waste removal.
Having an air filtration and purifying system combined with that would be ideal.

I called the spca on them but they told me they can't do nothing since it's private property. I think they just didn't want to deal with it.

Unless there's clear signs of neglect or abuse, likely so.
Animal control may be an option if it's something that should be addressed (like they're obviously not being cared for) however may destroy the animals depending on regulations and such there, ask first before going that route.
Could have the side effect of criminal charges if it's found to be a hoarding/neglect situation.
