How many children did these women have?
Cat farmers......
...they just happen to be very good at cat herding
It’s a P U S S Y thing.
Leave it to MSNBC to tackle the really hard questions facing our country :)
This also explains Obama being elected President.
That said, I'd suggest that dogs, in general, represent more stereotypical male behavior - gluttony, aggressiveness, playfulness with reckless abandon, etc. Cats on the other hand represent more stereotypical female behaviour - cleanliness, gracefulness, and you may even go as far as to say (dare I?) manipulative behavior.
So, I'd guess that females who do not connect with men in general, do connect with the stereotypical female traits found in cats.
Or maybe I'm full of bologna. In which case, pass the Wonder bread and mustard....I'm hungry.
In many of these cases I believe, the person hoarding the cats started with the best of intentions, I know/knew of such a lady.
She was just so upset that the SPCA etc was killing these beautiful animals, that she wanted to do something about it, for years she did a very good job, over time people dumped so many animals on her that she became overwhelmed, did not know how to say no to people, and may have snapped.
How about that woman that was living in her car with 15 cats?
When oil is illegal we’ll all be relying on fifty of these bio-fuel furry space heaters.
Now Chet...please don’t target felines like the pits you post about. Kitties are wonderful creatures...and you will not find a lot of stories about them ripping faces off or killing toddlers etc...
Cat herding is popular with the guys.

It’s love. Strange twisted love. So many of these stories turn out to be women who feel neglected and have lost people and relationships. Security and love are huge issues for women, moreso than men.
Animals can be kept and love you, and never leave you. They are the ultimate cross between something you own yet something that loves you back.
Of course, once you get past a certain threshold, you can’t get rid of them because it’s just physically impossible. Who is going to take 100 cats? Where would you put them? These people are often devastated to give them up because they know they just are going to be euthanized.
On top of it, many of these women are elderly and physically ill, and they can’t actually physically get going. Remember, if the authorities find out you have a ton of cats, many (especially blue states) will come after them legally for animal abuse, so they are afraid to ask authorities for help.
“Shark Week” is coming up on the Discovery Channel, maybe they can do a show where a land shark attacks a cat lady and her cats.
A crazy cat lady is what I aim to be in my old age! I only have 3 cats now, though!
This whole animal "rescue" culture is crazy.
IMHO, of course.
