I borrowed the DVD from the library where I work last year.

The woman with three cats wasn't a "cat lady" to my mind, except that she liked cat everything.

The woman with 16 was very organized and her home was clean and welcoming. I didn't get the impression the 16 cats woman was that lonely;she mentioned having boyfriends, although she also said the fact she had 16 cats could be off-putting to guys.

I felt for the woman with about 120+ cats. She'd had a well-paid career and knew she was in trouble although couldn't stop rescuing. She does what I don't do any more, she keeps seeing the need. I've stopped looking because it's so very, very easy to fall into the trap of being the one person in your area who does take care of the many, many strays and cats in need. Her home has become a real mess and I couldn't imagine making a meal in her kitchen. I think she was so exhausted, and she looked on the verge of physical collapse, she didn't see what had happened to her home. I was relieved to hear she had started working with a rescue group so she wouldn't take in so many herself.

Now, the last woman, who had hundreds of cats in dirty cages, she was a hoarder and no mistake. She considered herself an angel of mercy and didn't see any problem with the way she kept the cats, even while the camera focused on cats with wounds and crusted shut eyes. She's the type of person who won't be cured and will keep moving and hoarding.
