The stereotypical “cat lady” is one of pop culture’s most bizarre characters — and easiest punching bags.
She’s “The Simpsons” recurring character Eleanor Abernathy, a reclusive resident of Springfield who speaks in gibberish and hurls her cats at passersby. She’s bedridden “Big Edie” Beale, tucked inside Grey Gardens, cuddling kittens while raccoons, rats and nature eat away at her decrepit mansion. She’s even Robert DeNiro in a 2004 sketch from “Saturday Night Live,” in which he plays a eccentric woman who lives with 80 cats.
She’s … Vice President Kamala Harris?

Yes, we have one in our family. Over 40, single, 2 cats, leftist, and over impressed with her own intelligence.
Sometimes speaks in such an oblique manner that you have to interpret it to plain English.
Cat Ladies are real.
The left will take anything the right views as a negative and redefine it as a positive. Soon they will try to convince us that “cat ladies” were the bedrock upon which Western Civilization was founded.
There is literally a “Cat Lady” flag in our yard
You should knock on her door some beauiful evening, with coffee n’ doughnuts in hand and say you were going to have them on a park bench and if she wanted to join you.....could prove to be an interesting evening and I doubt she’d bring her cat!
I’m sorry.
Can’t you reconnect? At least give it a shot?
I guess there is an exception to every rule.
Mice rustle bushes
She’s bitter professional women in their late 30s on up who were told they could have it all and so wasted their youth pursuing their careers only to discover that this did not entitle them to a rich 6 foot tall or taller good looking guy who earns a 6 figure salary like they thought it did in their 20s - thus causing them to turn away several guys who would have been good choices only to discover guys like even the latter group were no longer interested by the time they hit their mid 30s.
Now these girl bosses want to control your life since they have no husband and no children of their own to boss around - only their cats. They are the bread and butter of the Democrat party.
There are real cat ladies out there, alright. I met a woman who called herself Goldie’. Wore a bright yellow Moo Moo and had easily 40 cats roaming around in and out of her house.
She told me cats can read minds. I was speechless and she continued on to tell me they can read the minds of cats right now in China.
I still wonder what she thought her cats were knowing the cats in China were thinking.
“’black jobs’ are now an insult. “
Except when blacks say the phrase. Someone played an entire montage of black celebrities and talking head saying “black jobs” on TV the other day. One of them was the owner of BET.
I’m a cat lady and an neither of those things.
I really l like that pic. Lots of love from both sides.
Does anyone know when the saying started:
Dating is hard. But so is turning into the weird cat lady.
Whenever it was, the stereotype was already in force.
Dennis Prager believes women are made to be nurturers. That allows babies to survive in evolution.
Without any children they nurture pets.
RE: cats reading minds of cats in China....
See? An investment in a tin foil hat was wise all along.
I hate the term fur babies but that gets thrown around here as well. Not just liberals
My wife and I are in our mid 80’s and had one dog for 16 year, 0 cats and two son’s now in their 50’s and grandkids/nieces and nephews in their late teens to mid 50’s with Zero cat women.
In our 60+ years of marriage, we have come to know 10 cat ladies, who divorced or out lived any husbands if they had any husbands.
These cat ladies were/are very intelligent and for the most part were in education or medical fields, often with advanced degrees.
Most have outlived any husbands if they had any.
My wife belongs to a small book club of 10 female members of our church. The members have or had dogs and zero-one cat.
In this group, There are 3 still alive husbands, including yours truly. No divorces, just husbands dying and not being replaced.
So what, they never vote republican anyway.
HEY WATCH IT MAN! There are some of us OLD MEN who have cats and puppy dogs as pets!
