Witches, Catwoman and the trope that just won't die

Subscriber's only

Hello lovely subscribers,

I’ve been wanting to write about the following topic for the last six weeks but made the decision not to share publicly that I have become a cat parent and was finding it hard as I love to write about what is actually on my mind rather than forcing a topic. Anyway, I realised that as I had already told those of you in the Whatsapp group about my cats, I could still write the newsletter I wanted to but only send it to you instead of the whole list! Such a simple solution. D’oh.

So please indulge me as I try to put into words what it has meant to me to adopt two cats and what I think of the cat lady stereotype now I’m one step closer to embodying it. Or maybe I already am one, having said that. What’s the definition of a ‘crazy cat lady’ anyway? A single woman who lives alone with cats? Or do I have to have a certain amount of cats to qualify? Maybe two is too few.
