Evidently, with that many cats, litter boxes are not practical, so unfortunately, these cats get kicked outside to their "business".  

Oh yea, I also had to replace the two toilets because the well water was so hard that it rendered the old ones practically useless, which is saying a lot considering that it was built in 2008!
