Why are women with cats protrayed as miserable?

God I love cats, those people can contract syphilis for all I care.

So many succumb to brain parasites, becoming 'cat ladies' and hoarding even more cats. True story!

I appreciate this story. Cats are adorable. I'm a proud co-inhabitant of two male cats. I think I've read so many stories about cat people and I think it's dreadful. It's not unique, I think, to women with cats. I'll take their affectionate purr and love over judgment any day.

it's just another stereotype... usually about women older than you, tho. cats bring a cool vibe to a home no matter what, imo

Because their house smells like piss. Lol jk. I’m just bored and writing stuff. Don’t mind me

I think it's weird when people think you are miserable JUST because you have cats, like they're perfect human beings or something who never feel emotion. I'd say one would have to be miserable to bully pro cat people, if they're not putting energy into themselves but other people, then that energy isn't spent on taking care of themselves so that imbalance must be affecting their personal lives somehow.

I got a cat and I’m awesome

Stereotypes, it's like how if you play videogames people think you're a lazy bum with no goals. As if it isn't just a hobby.

Because your happiness will only last the lifetime of the cat and is dependent on their existence. The miserable you is still there underneath, you've just bought yourself some time like a drug addict on their high.

I also noticed you said you are happi-er rather than happy and thought less about suicide rather than stopped thinking about it. Now this doesn't make one miserable but it tells me you aren't living to your potential. This is all why people say this.

Stereotype

I don't know where you got that information but it's wrong women with p**** cats are happy

I don't think it’s a stigma so much as it's just an old running gag.

I had a cat for 15 years until she died. I don't want another one.

I had a cat once.

I didn't know they were.

Just bullies
