RE: OT Cat Advice Needed

We had two cats...now I guess with mama cat we have three...if husband
can't part with the cute kitten that makes four. I'm willing to do four,
I don't know how that will work out but we have never yet gotten rid of
a pet.  
Kittens are really starting to scamper about now, it is hard to get them
corraled back in the bathroom after we open the door. I don't feel comfy
letting them roam where they will while we are not home so they have to
be confined. One of our cats is now watching them from not too far away
and not hissing or spitting, but our other cat still runs away. I'm
hoping for no drama when mama cat finally gets the run of the house.
This morning I let her out and she jumped onto the kitchen counter while
I was making our lunches, so I bellowed at her and she knocked over a
bowl and broke it in the scramble to get down. Obviously she is not
socialized enough to know that cats only get on the counter when humans
aren't looking. On the plus side, I can go shopping for a set of new
mixing bowls. There's always a silver lining right?

Wow!  I can't imagine that.  I think my max is 4, I have 3 currently and
I think 2 is ideal.
