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?

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.
