Confession: I’m single and I have a cat, but here is the kicker; I’m not a cat lady. I don’t even like cats that much. So why do I have this cat you may ask? Well, it is because I saw a victim in the form of a 16 year old cat that was all too familiar to me and I decided to save him. I saved his spirit and gave him a decent place to live out the rest of his life.
He is a beautiful creature really. Friendly, affectionate and loving. A little too needy than what I am used to but that comes as part of the package of sacrifice. My house is not as clean as I want it to be anymore and I have to clean a litter box which I find disgusting but I feel good about giving a living and breathing creature a safe place to live.
The reason for this blog is because I am overly (rather ridiculously) sensitive about being a ‘cat lady’ and I will irrationally react to people because I KNOW that is what they are thinking of me… no I don’t really know, but some people have made those distasteful jokes about me in the past which I always found obnoxious and ironic because I knew I would never have a cat (being that I am not a cat lady). Now that I have a cat, those cat lady comments make me want to cry and rip off the ears of my provoker. So here I am, pouring out my sensitivity to the World Wide Web, which I find both difficult and therapeutic.
I don’t think this is going stop my insecurity of the cat lady label, but I think it may help me believe that I am not one. Really, is there such thing as a cat lady anyway? A single man with a cat is bypassed, not a ‘cat man’. A single woman with a dog is just a single woman with a dog. But a single woman with a cat or multiple cats has a terrible disadvantage. I am going to attempt to stop the label and persona of a cat lady, here and now. Whoever stumbles upon this blog, please stop using the term ‘cat lady’. And while I’m on it, don’t use the word ‘retarded’ or ‘gay’ as adjectives, it’s just distasteful. |
