I have been called the crazy cat lady since I was a small child. At one point I did not even have a cat. My entire family called me the crazy cat lady for yrears. Even now, they still call me that, although I only have one cat; this one cat is named Mowgli. He does not act like a cat, though; he fetches a ball and brings it back in his mouth to whomever he wants to throw it. He does not like to cuddle like most cats and you cannot pet him for more than a minute without him biting you. This cat is positively evil and if he were a person he would not have any friends. I am not sure I even like him sometimes, but I could never get rid of him because it would be considered assault once he attacked his new owner.
So, why does my family call me the crazy cat lady? I would surmise that it is because for years I said I never wanted to get married or have a family and according to society today that means a woman is either a lesbian or a crazy loner. When my twin sister got married and I was still single my family did not even tell me it was my turn next. They were resigned to me being the crazy cat lady. While I now have changed my tune and decided that I eventually may want to get married and adoption sounds like a great option when I am ready for kids they are slowly retreating on the name calling. Although, my little brother will probably always call me the crazy cat lady I am proud they are finally deciding that I am not the crazy loner they once believed I was.
