I had a neighbor who once said, "We're not really cat-people, we're really more dog-people." I thought it sounded really crazy to me - I'd like to think any pet owner would be pet-people! Our parents were not really pet-people, but out of seven kids, all but one turned out to be pet-people.😅
I really wasn't exposed to the misogynistic connotation of "cat lady". I rather associated the term with the kind lady who's compassionate enough to take care of the less fortunate fur critters not taken into a home. I don't deny it's use as such, though, I am sure - there will always bottom feeders and rumors of bottom feeders - unfortunately.
As I reply here, I'm enjoying the affection of one of my cats, in my lap, and the loyalty of my dog, by my side!😊❤️
I am "crazy cat lady" and wouldn't be any other way. I have cats all my life. My current two, Heart and Soul and the best company there is and if you feel you would like to insult me or them, they would smack you hard and maybe stick a claw in. In truth I would rather have the company of cats then most people. They love me unconditionally and the bring the greatest joy to my life as all my cats have done.

Well said. They are the heartbeats of our homes and to know them, is to love them, but only the lucky really know.
Very nice column. So very true and I agree wholeheartedly. #unfurl
