So this one's for @rapogirl13 because I did not realize you have so many cats! Bf and I counted once when we met (at 20) and I'd had a cat for every year I'd been alive - but iirc the record was 7 at the same time, and I think this was when:
My dad and stepmom moved in together when brocant and I were both 7. She and brocant had been living in a much smaller whistle stop town about 45 minutes away. There were a lot of strays in the area and she somehow managed to take in not one but two pregnant ones. The kittens were all about a year old at the time of the move, but because she'd never needed so many at the same time before, she found herself with two firm plastic cat carriers and a bunch of the cardboard temporary ones they sell at pet stores.
At some point in the moving process, my dad and I wound up with every single cat boxed up in the backseat - again, two plastic carriers, about five cardboard ones. (Note: I am five foot ten [and the shortest of my entire family :/] and was already well over-height to sit in front.) As he's driving, we begin to hear this slapping noise and can't tell what it is. He asks me to turn around and take a look, and for a second I don't see it... and then the smaller mom cat eels her way out of a tiny hole she's torn in her cardboard case! She crawls under the driver seat and yells for the rest of the trip.
Dad cusses because isn't that cool and tells me to make sure that doesn't happen again. It doesn't, for a bit... and then the noise starts up again. It's that mom cat's biggest son. I turn around and see this:
Followed shortly by this:
So I pushed his poor little face back in and kept my hands over the hole for the rest of the trip.
I then proceeded to forget about it for 20 years until bf showed me this video (TW GUN, relevant clip at 1:13) and I about died laughing. Told dad later, he'd forgotten too... and also totally busted up. It looked more or less just like that.
