Signs you might have an animal-hoarding problem:

10. Your feed bill is so big that the Barnum & Bailey Circus is using it as a model for their winter budget.
9. Your educated pig keeps trying to get you to claim cockroaches as dependants on your taxes.
8. You know how to adjust the levels of nitrogen and calcium in the diet of an aging tiger.
7. Your wife can't keep up with the wool production although she is a first rate knitter.
6. You buy your animal feed in bulk from CostCo and can't see why people complain about the giant packages--they don't seem to last.
5. That's not mud on the floor.
4. Your sheep dogs have herded all of the cats into the Master Bedroom so you have to sleep on the floor in the mudroom. See (5).
3. You have more than three cats named "Mittens".
2. You're up to your hips in llama manure, Dr. Doolittle. Figure it out!
1. Your nickname locally is "Noah".

Whenever you see a hoarding story it's always "some insane number of animals normally kept as pets", "some stupid number of animals typically kept in this environment" and one "animal that has no place on this continent."

The article isn't loading so I'm going to guess that animal was a mountain lion.
