You've heard about the crazy cat lady, right? I think I am going to be the crazy dog lady.
But you're not creeped out, right? For some reason, having a lot of cats or simply being a 'cat person' carries a strange stigma, when it absolutely should not.
Before you read any further, please remember how I referred to how a best friend's qualities translate to our personalities...okay, do you remember? Good. Keep reading.
Look at cats; they are independent, care for themselves, and don't need anyone to love them to be sufficient. In fact, cats make you work for their love. If someone can live like that, I applaud him or her (probably a her because there are no crazy cat men...). That is quite empowering to be that independent.
Dogs carry a different stigma. They will love you no matter what and depend on their owner's adoration. Now, because I am a dog person, do you judge me because you think I am needy? Nope... probably not. It's a strange double standard.
So, I want to take this time to get it out in the open. Let's leave the crazy cat women alone. Ladies, let's not be afraid of becoming a cat lady, but instead, hope we can someday harness that kind of independence...even if we are dog lovers.
