We don't live in a mansion or very large home, but it's not small like those one floor ranch homes either.
My question is, is owning these 4 pets in our medium sized home ok? Or is it too much? They seem to be doing fine. The dog isn't very big, doesn't seem to bother the cats, and our oldest cat likes to sleep in a seperate room away from the others. Is this "humane"? I love animals, and do whatever I can to care for them. I just want to make sure things are safe. What do you think?
