Could be the type of pet, the breed, how they behave, their relationship...anything about the pet that informs you on their human.

I told a girl I moved in with that we have a limit on pets. Either 1 dog, or 2 cats. Thats it. I'm not going to be walking down the street with 15 dogs, and a room dedicated to cat litter boxes.

Zero cats? Maybe you need a cat.

One cat? Maybe your cat needs a friend.

Two cats? This is an acceptable amount number of cats.

Three cats? This is getting out of hand, but maybe you found a foster cat that you decided to permanently home.

Four cats? You're officially the crazy cat lady from the simpsons.

My rule is that pets are not allowed to outnumber humans in the household.

I go one step farther and say pets should not be allowed to outnumber the responsible adult humans in the household.

You can decide where that boundary is.
