Why are women with cats protrayed as miserable?

So I'm a single women with two cats. I'm actually quite happy with them. They're fun, warm, and they're just so enjoyable to be around. There's a sigma that women with cats are miserable but I became happier and thought less about suicide when I got them. So what gives with people saying women and cats are miserable?

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.
