It may have been written tongue in cheek but, unfortunately, it's true of some people. You all know my views on cleanliness so I won't go into a rant here but it's sad that people, especially women, who have compassion for animals are viewed in such a manner. The writer neglected to mention that some of us rescue cats because irresponsible pet owners do not alter their animals, so the number of offspring is staggering. I can say that I was involved in rescue. Period. Not just of cats but of anything w/fur and/or feathers. And I didn't keep every one of them. I found homes for them or released them if they were too feral. We all know of cat hoarders, women (usually) who have dozens of cats in a small space, who treat their cats like children and indeed do sublimate. Their home becomes a giant litter box, they go deep into debt financing their cats' health care and many times they shut out the world because they're ashamed of how their home has deteriorated. Not being a psychologist, I'm unqualified and I don't feel the need to comment other than to say that I feel it's sad and it sure sounds like mental illness to me. I love all my cats but I love myself more. Balance is key.

LOL! I wonder if I'm designated as a crazy cat lady..... or married to a crazy cat man. He's the one who keeps saying "that foster's not leaving" and "what's one more?"

Lol, I loved the first caution: watch your step, so you don't step on the latest kitten arrival!

I Cant Read That At All, The Prints So Small!!!
But As A Crazy Cat Man, I Know That There Are Many Who Think I Have Too Many Cats. Well They Live In A Nice Clean Place, Have Good Food And Regular Vet Care.
In Fact Dr Marsles Commented On His Last Visit On How Great Everyone Looked.
To Me, It Comes Down To The Fact That They Had Nowhere Else To Go, And I Know That My Dear Mother Fed Strays And I Know She Approves Of My Cat Hotel.
I Would Rather Be Thought Crazy Than Be A Selfish Unfeeling Person, Who Who Only Cares About Himself. I Am Loved And Love My Friends As As John Lennon Wrote " Who In The World Do You Think You Are, To Be Laughing In The Face Of Love"
I Love My Cats And Dont Care Who Doesnt Like It.

Great article!

I admit to being a crazy cat lady even if I only have one cat now.

Gary, I use Ctrl ++ to increase the text size but I use Firefox with Linux. I'll check on the Windows machine later and see how it's done there.
