According to Urban Dictionary's first definition, a crazy cat lady is an elderly suburban widow who lives alone and keeps dozens or more pet cats, usually many more than municipal code allows, in a small house, and refuses to give away or sell them even for the sake of the safety of the cats or herself.
In real life, a crazy cat lady is, well, me. Not elderly, not living alone, but four cats and 3,000 hairballs later, here I am writing an article about what it's really like to be a crazy cat lady.
1. Crazy cat ladies can have boyfriends, too
There's nothing more rewarding than finding someone that can tolerate your obsession.
2. The amount of kitty litter and food you will buy will cost you a lot of money.
One can of cat food is three dollars, so one can per cat (times 20) twice a day = $120.
3. You will get the urge to adopt every single cat you see on the street.
Not to mention the amount of cat food you'll put out for them on cold days.
4. And walking into a shelter...
How do those volunteers resist taking these faces home?
5. Your lint roller will be your best friend.
Even if you dress yourself in hair-resistant clothing.
6. And even then you'll still have cat hair in unimaginable places.
Under couches, in food, in backpacks, etc.
7. You can still look sexy with cats.
No one said you can't attract your future spouse with some feline frenzy.
8. Owning cats is good for your soul.
Seriously, look at this face and try not to smile.
