The Definition Of A Crazy Cat Lady
There are a number of ways to define a woman who has a large number of cats that she probably cannot afford to have. Some people label this woman as the crazy cat lady because as far as they are concerned, no one in their right mind would do such a thing. However, this definition has to be stretched a bit so that the woman can be understood on some level.
There might be one woman who lives in the neighborhood and has been single for a long time. She has never been married and she does not have any children. She has a very special place in her heart for animals of all kinds but is particularly fond of cats. So she decides to have a cat as a pet since she believes in taking care of animals.
Most women who decide to take in stray animals are usually single. They are not married and do not have any children, so their focus is on the animals they have decided to take in. They believe that it is their life's work, and so they live their entire lives taking care of the cats they have adopted even though they do not have much money.
This might seem to others as a compulsion or a mental illness since these women are typically in a situation where they have more cats than the average person, sometimes as much as 65 or more. Having this many cats can be unsettling to others especially if the woman is unable to keep the place clean and provide for each cat and their individual needs.
Another woman in another town is in a similar living situation, but her reasons are quite different from the first lady. This woman was married at one time, but her husband died a year ago. She has five children, but the youngest left home over four years now and she is all alone.
Due to her need to take care of others, she ends up taking in lots of cats. These women are usually older and live on a pension, so they are not very wealthy to begin with. Yet, they might have so many cats over a certain amount of time because taking them in helps them feel better about themselves.
The animals have now replaced the need for human contact. This makes it difficult for others to form any type of meaningful relationship with these women. Their obsession with their cats makes it difficult for someone to address this issue because if they do, they might make the woman angry creating further isolation. So most people will see them as being crazy since they do not know how to talk to them.
There might be many other ways to define a woman who takes in so many animals, but the two definitions discussed above are typical. Both of these women have a similar obsession with cats and having them in their home. Some may see this as crazy, but to the ladies it is simply what they love to do and they will keep on taking in these animals.
