Hi, I’m single with 3 lovely cats. People make me feel so ashamed of this. Am I just a crazy cat lady?

Absolutely not! Cats can be the best companions and friends, and being single and having cats is perfectly okay. Many people find comfort and solace in their cats, and there is no shame in that. Your cats are lucky to have you; you should not be ashamed. Cats can provide unconditional love and companionship, often in ways humans cannot.

Moreover, cats can be an incredible source of comfort and soothing for someone feeling lonely or isolated. For example, research has shown that having a pet cat can reduce stress levels and decrease feelings of loneliness and depression in their owners. Cats are also self-reliant and can care for themselves, so they don’t need as much attention and care as other animals. As a result, they can provide companionship and emotional support without needing constant attention.

Plus, cats can provide a great sense of security when their owners are home, as they are known to be adept at sensing danger and alerting their owners. So, there is no need to feel ashamed of it at all and you’re not a crazy lady.
