The film was directed by Christie Callan-Jones and produced by Chocolate Box Entertainment, originally for TVOntario. The documentary Cat Ladies (2009) tells the stories of four women whose lives became dedicated to their cats.
Ī 2019 study found no differences between cat-owners and non-cat owners for anxiety, depression or experiences in relationships: "We suggest that our findings are, therefore, not consistent with a description of cat-owners as depressed, anxious or as having difficulty with human relationships." However, a separate 1983 study found that pet owners tended to score higher than nonowners on social sensitivity and interpersonal trust, though there was no appreciative difference between dog and cat owners. Some writers, celebrities, and artists have challenged the gender-based "Crazy Cat Lady" stereotype, and embraced the term to mean an animal lover or rescuer who cares for one or multiple cats, and who is psychologically healthy. People who are aware of it are not normally considered cat ladies.ĭepending on context, the ordinarily pejorative word "crazy" may be prepended to "cat lady" to indicate either a pejorative or a humorous and affectionate label. They may be ignorant about their situation, or generally unaware of their situation. Ī cat lady may also be an animal hoarder who keeps large numbers of cats without having the ability to properly house or care for them. Specifically, it has also been embraced by lesbians. In more recent decades, the concept of a cat lady has been associated with "romance-challenged (often career-oriented) women". Women who have cats have long been associated with the concept of spinsterhood.
