The Plight of the Cat Lady: Documentary Tells All

TresSugar — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 08:30:00 -0700

Move over Grey Gardens, there's a new cat-lady documentary in the gah-den. The trailer for the dutifully titled Cat Lady ("when cats mean 'meow' to you than people") opens with a former banker taking stock of the kittens living in her house. (All 123).

Debuting this week at the Silverdocs film festival in Washington DC, the documentary follows four women who fit the cultural stereotype of cat ladies - women of a certain age with one, or 100, too many felines. While it's meant to be an emotionally honest look at women whose self-worth is linked to cats, it's, also, inevitably funny. Because, really, if you're going to put whiskers under your nose and mee-oww to the camera, the world is going to laugh. And laugh.

Another Internet Milestone: Cat Ladies

If you thought ManBabies was an important milestone in the history of the Internet, then hop over and take a look at Cat Ladies. Some loony tune kitty lover had enough sense to know that there are two types of people in this world: those of us who have "real" babies and those of us who treat our cats as if they were "real" babies. For the latter group, this loony tune kitty lover created a head switcheroo photo site on the net. It was only fair. Visit the Cat Ladies website for more photoshopped purrrfection.

Product of the Day: Crazy Cat Lady Action Figure

GiggleSugar — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 01:00:00 -0800

The Crazy Cat Lady is a figure you could describe as one of those "Women Who Love Too Much," only, it's that they love too many cats rather than loser boyfriends. I think if I purchased this, it would be to remind myself not to turn into the lady you see in the third panel below--the one who falls down, can't get up, and is being investigated by her cats...

Who Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?

Lady, the kitten is "insanely" cute. We get it. But we can't confuse a figure of speech with a way of life: Promptly put the kitten down, step away from the catnip, and save the meowing for playtime only. But keep up the public purrring, especially when you want a freebie drink at the local dive - works every time.

Planet of the Cats

GiggleSugar — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 04:00:00 -0700

Holy crap. Four hours north of LA exists a cat heaven called Cat House on the Kings. Run by a non-crazy cat lady who is crazy for cats, Cat House on the Kings is a non-profit, no-kill, no cage shelter for cats (and a few dogs) to roam free (inside and outside). They're up for adoption, but if no one does so they're free to hang out forever. And what animal wouldn't want to stay there? The wonderful Lynea Lattanzio has been trained as a vet, has ten feeding stations inside and outside, and just freaking loves animals. The guy who put this vid together says she's not a hoarder, or a proverbial CCL, she's just dedicated her life to animals. 16,000 cats and dogs can't be wrong!

Hell Hath No Fury Like a Female Cat Scorned

This dialogue - well, OK, monologue - may sound uncomfortably familiar to some of you. If you haven't had this conversation in real life, then I'm sure you've heard it at the movies. My favorite part is when the significantly smaller "boy" cat gets in one pathetic word: "Right." Kick him to the curb, lady! Once a cheater, always a cheater.

Flashback: Time For a Cat Massage!

TresSugar — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 04:00:00 -0700

Are you fluent in meow? This lady is! If you were, you'd know that petting is passé and what your cat really wants is a massage. Afraid Kittles might bite? Use a stuffed Tigger for practice, especially before you try any major "whisker alert" moves. But, really, I don't buy this woman has the touch of a fairy that she claims. This cat is drugged. Look at his eyes!

The Harsh Truth About Craigslist Missed Connections

TresSugar — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 06:00:00 -0700

Have you ever spied your dream lover in the frozen food section of Trader Joe's but were too shy to start a conversation or flirt? Maybe you were moved to post a prose poem on Craigslist's oddball "Missed Connections" section, writing to that person in the hopes that they would read your true feelings, remember who the hell you were, and contact you.

Still don't understand what Missed Connections is? Here's what the superharsh Craigslist genie has to say about it: "If you’re too much of a mush-butt to approach a person in the real world, you post an ad on Craigslist hoping that person is a pathetic loser who goes on to Craigslist and searches for losers who are searching for him.” Ouch!

There’s much to recommend this video, but just when you think the hilarity is done with, the real comedy comes in. This poor, shy soul's cat starts dissing her, calling her a “cat lady” and asking why she wears such long skirts. Sigh. Maybe this is what cats are all really thinking when they sit there and stare at us!
