Crazy cat ladies are often depicted as a middle-aged or an elderly spinster who owns many (possibly too many) pet cats. Although the term used to be considered an insult, these days many are coming out as self-confessed crazy cat ladies and embracing the way of life. The term “crazy cat lady” has been reclaimed and is being worn as a badge of honor. Woman wear crazy cat lady T-shirts, they carry crazy cat lady tote bags and they tag their beloved fur babies on Instagram (#caturday). Crazy cat ladies are a tribe of many, and they are here to stay and are making themselves heard.

We are surrounded by crazy cat ladies. We all know someone who owns just one too many cats. Some crazy cat ladies even hide in plain sight. They may act and look like the rest of us, but back home they have a lair full to the brim with cats galore.

It starts out all innocent, getting that one tiny, cute kitten, welcoming the beautiful four-legged friend into your home. You enjoy their company. It feels nice to have someone to talk to, to look after. Then you decide to get just one more cat as a friend for the first kitten. Then you get another and another. Before you know it, you have a collection of fur babies at your feet. It can happen to any of us.
