Well, since I’m a full-time man that LOVES women(my lovely wife I meant to say) and I happen to be a “cat guy” not sure how this study impacts me? I started working with a group of Barn Cat relocaters many years ago. We trapped feral cats and located them after neuter into farmers barns. We placed them in large cages and the farmer or barn owner fed them for about 30 days while in the cage, then we let them out and they stayed around killing mice and other vermin. Since then I have always liked cats.

Women that collect cats in my professional opinion do have mental issues. I encountered many of them over 45 years and many of them were batshit crazy. Their homes’ sanitation and personal hygiene were severely lacking as well as their logic and the health of the cats.

They compensate with affection from obidient pets.

You have never had a cat have you.

Mine know their names and sometimes will do what they are told but obedient they are not.

Yup, but many are just crazy on their own without it.

Owners of multiple cats are still way saner than the owner of one pit bull.

Yeah but.... Owner of a lonely heart...much better than... owner of a broken heart

They are old maids in waiting (even if they are in they 30s and declining partners/relationships). They compensate with affection from obidient pets.

“Obedient?!” LOL! Then you can’t be talking about cats. :)

That’s what the Dayton shooter did. He and his ex-girfriend knew from that class they were both mentally ill (by her admission).

It may not make you crazy, but owning more than 2 cats will make sure your home smells like urine and cat crap.

Guaranteed !!!

Visitor: "Gee Gladys, you sure have a lot of cats!"
Gladys: "Not really. I have 15 cats."
Visitor: "When are you going to get another one?
Gladys: "No. That would be CRAZY!"
