"You must be a cat lady, Ms. Kaytee," the student said to me through laughter. I was working in a school, and had popped into one of the classrooms to assist with a project. This student who had just met me seconds ago assumed that I "must be" a cat lady.
At the time I laughed: I had one cat, yes, but would hardly call myself a "cat lady." I also had a guinea pig, after all. Maybe this was some new Gen-Z slang that I didn't understand? Maybe "cat lady" means "an adult who is super cool"? (One can only hope.)
Fast forward 5 years, and we just adopted a third cat over the weekend. As I sat on my couch with not just one, but three fur babies, I said to myself, "Kaytee. You're a cat lady."

Lefty cat ladies are witches, and their “fur babies” are their familiars.
No one understands cats.
My cat bites me. That’s a sign of love.
I love her, got her two weeks after my last cat died. Cats are really easy, no leashes and walks in the rain, etc etc, and she sleeps with me when it’s cold out.
Toxoplasmosis!
Latest research says it causes women to be more neurotic.
Muslims vastly prefer cats over dogs. I don’t know what Mayor Madmani owns.
They say in Istanbul there are more cats than people.
Two more good ones, these from across the pond...

I, for one, welcome our feline overlords!
How do we know that’s not leftism? 🤔
If you refer to your pets as “fur babies” you have gone over the hill.
Cats, no matter the size, are apex preds. I find them amazing. I have ‘spent time’ with their much larger cousins while hunting.
We have cats and dogs. Makes for some entertainment. They like each other and they goof around.
Our cats have their own door; the dogs’.
Dogs don’t crap in the house nor do the cats.
The end product of feminism.
We resemble that, after adopting five feral kittens.
And feeding two as outside cats.
If they end up like this shouldn’t some nice man be kind and ask them out to dinner?
How many empty Chardonnay boxes are in the trash?
A person who calls his or her pets “fur babies” or refers to himself or herself as the pet’s father or mother loses respect from me.
I go by the single lady two cat rule. There is no need or reason for a single lady (or man) to have more than 2 cats. Once she hits that 3rd cat level, we are into neuroses territory. If she spends most of her daily communication allotment talking to her cats rather than humans, she is more “cat lady” than human lady. If she breaks a hip, you transport her to the ASPCA facility rather than a hospital
Cats.
I admire them from afar. Not home enough to keep one, and anyway there are associate cats all over the neighborhood, don’t know if they “belong” to someone or not, or if they care. If they needed my help they’d ask and I’d let them in as far as the enclosed porch.
The chipmunks might not appreciate that, and they were here first...
But for contact there are cats at the homes of various friends, that’s enough cat love for me.
Don’t forget the wine box in the fridge.
