“IF YOU WANT A LOVING WIFE — FIND A CRAZY CAT LADY!” – Brian Alan Burhoe *
BREAKING NEWS! “PetSmart Charities Study Shows the Secret to Finding Love is a Kitten!”
Yes, the Crazy Cat Lady trope is back in the spotlight. Don’t know about you, but I’ve always taken it as a humorous and loving phrase. Especially when women proudly refer to themselves this way. If you love your pets, especially cats, you understand it, eh?
Adopting a cat during National Adoption Week can bring you love, twice — “PetSmart Charities and the Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger team up to find singles their Purrfect Match.”
PetSmart Charities is the leading funder of animal welfare in the U.S. New data from PetSmart Charities shows that 75% of singles are fed up with dating apps.**
“But a feline friend can improve their chances of finding a match!”
Forget the outdated stereotypes about cat people:
More than two-thirds of singles think it’s cool to have a feline friend.
A cat can actually improve your chances of finding love:
In fact, 71% of Gen Z say they’d be more likely to date someone who likes felines. And the top qualities people seek in a romantic partner are fun/playful and intelligent. The same top traits associated with cat parents.
Cats are trending:
More people are adopting kittens, accounting for 74% of all in-store PetSmart Charities adoptions.*** And these kitty parents want to date other kitty parents. Nearly three quarters of them say they would prefer to date someone with a cat. It’s time to play the odds…
In celebration of National Adoption Week, PetSmart Charities is breaking down stereotypes and helping singles find love. It’s Kitten Season, the time of year when most kittens are born. The Season that fills animal shelters to capacity. PetSmart Charities Purrfect Match is challenging singles to try a new approach to finding love. Adopt a cat!
“Cats are having a moment unlike any we’ve seen in PetSmart Charities’ 30 years of helping pets find homes,” said Aimee Gilbreath, president of PetSmart Charities. “Cat adoptions are greatly outpacing dog adoptions. And cat parents are finally breaking free from old stereotypes. In fact, they’re now the pick of the dating litter!”
“The Purrfect Match”
So, you’ve adopted a cat — now what? You may not be able to teach an old dog new tricks, but you can teach a human looking for love.
That’s why PetSmart Charities is teaming up with Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger.
One lucky single will win one-on-one relationship coaching from Patti herself. During these sessions Patti will offer her deep expertise and insights to help the winner find love.

“We are confident that if you open your heart and your home to a cat, human love will follow,” added Gilbreath.

I liked J D Vance’s Hillbilly Elegy. Why not? I was born and raised in the Northern Appalachian Mountains. I know those folk. I’m one of ’em. But I was confused by his “childless cat lady” comment. I know a remarkable number of confessed Cat Ladies. Most of them are Conservative!
