We celebrate cats here at this blog, but we also need to pat ourselves on the back occasionally and own up to that once derogatory label people might put on someone like us who adore our cats. Remember when we used to shudder and back away from the term, Cat Lady—well, I think that was probably the term Crazy Cat Lady. Now most of us wear that badge and 
crown proudly.
We love our cats—some of us go to great lengths to rescue throw-away cats, foster kittens and cats, take in more cats than is maybe completely reasonable (been there-done that). We stop and smile at cute cat pix and 
videos on social media. We get excited when we see a cat in a window as we’re walking in our neighborhood, or a cat on the porch. I take pictures of cats I see out and about. And I’ll stop at a pet store just to look at the cats up for rescue that week.
Cat Ladies (and Cat Gents) talk to the cats we meet and
have deep conversations with our own cats. Yeah, it might sound a little over-the-top to some, but I own it. Yeah, I’m one of those Cat Ladies and I am a little crazy at times. So what?
If you are, too, celebrate your love of cats and your devotion to your own cats today. How will you do that? If you’re like me it will be by creating a fun, new experience for your own cats or just creating a lap for them to enjoy longer than usual. There’s nothing as soothing and relaxing and lovely as a cat in your lap, and your cat will tell you so through her sweet, soft purr and eye-blinks.
