cat lady
A cat lady is a single woman, often a stock character, who owns many pet cats. The term is usually considered pejorative, though it is sometimes embraced.
== Usage and association ==
Women who have cats have long been associated with the concept of spinsterhood. In more recent decades, the concept of a cat lady has been associated with "romance-challenged (often career-oriented) women".〔
A cat lady may also be an animal hoarder who keeps large numbers of cats without having the ability to properly house or care for them. They may be ignorant about their situation.
Some writers, celebrities, and artists have challenged the gender based "Crazy Cat Lady" stereotype, and embraced the term to mean an animal lover or rescuer who cares for one or multiple cats, and who is psychologically healthy.〔(Beth Ostronsky Stern: I Am A Crazy Cat Lady, New York Daily News, September 15, 2015 )〕〔(Moss, Laura, It's Time to Smash the Crazy Cat Lady Stereotype, Mother Nature Network, November 12, 2015 )〕〔(Williams, David, Meet The Men Proud to Be Crazy Cat Ladies, ABC News, Retrieved November 12, 2015 )〕
