The threshold that someone considers "too many animals" is always the number they have plus one.
For us it’s feet
Pet feet cannot outnumber human feet, full stop. Otherwise you lose control and are no longer in charge.
It’s a working theory but so far has been accurate.
I see a couple of flaws
A person living on their own could have any number of fish, a single bird, any number of snakes, etc.
Does one cat only have two feet or do two cats have three?
Or does one human have 4?
