How to Be a Crazy Cat Lady

You may be in denial, or you may even aspire to be one, but the end is the same. Check out these crucial signs and symptoms to see if you have truly become a crazy cat lady.

Step 1 of 7

You obsessively take multiple photos of your cat in the same position and keep all of them because it's too hard to choose.

Step 2 of 7

Download free app PicFrame to make awkward collages of your kitteh, then bask in the sweet popularity you obtain by sharing them on Instagram. (#cat is on of the most popular tags)

Step 3 of 7

Take it a step further and embarrass your cat by video recording him doing nothing particularly interesting, then post it on Snapguide. Make sure to use lots of baby talk you think he can understand.

Step 4 of 7

Collect a variety of cat wares and display them around your house. Anything from figurines, coffee mugs, to neck warmers you heat up in the microwave (awkward when you have company over).

Step 5 of 7

Allow your little stinkers (or big ones in my case) to take over your tiny apartment with all their toys, food, and litter... because it's really their house whether or not you choose to admit it.

Step 6 of 7

Obnoxiously take photos of other people's kittens after squealing in delight over its little milk mustache. Repeat Step 2.

Step 7 of 7

Give your booger lots of kisses because you're officially a Stage 1 cat lady and most likely won't be too popular in the real world!

You're Done

@Guy This a normal pastime for both of mine. As predicted, Ive had many a photo sesh while they plant themselves front and center at the TV. @Abdullah Thanks, I do too and it's been perfect for the graphic design work I do. Though it's getting close to 3 years old and I still can't let go of the box! Maybe I'll do a guide on how to play with cats in boxes...

TJay InOz last year

... Although I did just chase a lizard he let go under the couch (not easy), and only found the bouncy ball, their favorite toy.

Chelsea Lyon 🍡 (author) 11 months ago

Hahaha Tjay! We just so happen to be moving tomorrow ourselves... I bet there's a huge treasure trove of toys under there.

Chelsea Lyon 🍡 (author) 11 months ago

hmmmm, largely ignored cat "trees", I also have that ball in the track donut thingy which used to provide hours of fun, and every time we move house I have to caution the movers about the catnip mice they'll find "lost" under various bits of furniture
