Listening to old shows (been working my way up from 1999 to present very slowly for the last 20 years). I'm up to March 20, 2002. Found this interesting:
2002
(Talking about Robin's cats)
HOWARD: Isn't it true your boyfriend (Mister X) takes some of the cats in?
ROBIN: No, he has four of his own.
HOWARD: When did he get into cats?
ROBIN: He got into cats by learning about mine.
GARY: That's like a thing you do to get a chick.
HOWARD: One cat is okay, seven is a little- y'know that's getting into 'cat lady weird'.
ROBIN: I'll tell you, you can have some if you want.
HOWARD: No! I don't want any animals.
GARY: If your boyfriend gets one more cat, I'm gonna question his sexuality.
HOWARD: Right.
ARTIE: Really.
HOWARD: Wow. You got seven over there, that's crazy.
