And I must admit, I resemble that remark.
You need to be single, either divorced or never married, and over 35. A woman who’s married or a widow with children isn’t a cat lady.
There is an exemption for those with sizeable acreages. If you have a half dozen cats, but 25 acres and they mostly feed themselves, you are not a cat lady, even if you like your kitties.
He could smell it on you lady. He could also pick up the toxoplasma gondii mannerisms.
One cat...
A. Mental illness.
When I lived in a house with a huge fenced yard, I had two cats amd a wpmderfi; Keeshond, “KeeshaSue the Gorgeous Goddess of Keeshonds”. Keesh for short.
The cats died, one by one after several years and when Keesh died, I couldn’t live there another minute without her.
Now in senior complex, one cat is enough. DaisyJane. “Daze”. Bitchy kitty bites me a lot. That’s allegedly a sign of love, but hurts anyway. Cats are weird but I couldn’t live without her.
Met a cat lady without the cats once.
A (95% of the time) liberal spinster woman. 35 and over who has admitted defeat in the search to find a man that meets her unrealistic expectations and is willing to put up with her.
Cat lady is a stereotype. That’s how I define this stereotype.

Lefty cat ladies are witches, and their “fur babies” are their familiars.
If you refer to your pets as “fur babies” you have gone over the hill.
The end product of feminism.
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.
