I’m not talking about the weirdo’s who hoard animals by keeping WAY TOO MANY pets without having the ability to properly house or care for them, while at the same time denying this inability. No no. I’m talking about the creme de la creme of Cat Ladies. The ones that sleep with lions, create organizations with other strange cat loving woman, the ones who end up on international TV feeding 100’s of cats, and most importantly the ones that get action figures modeled after them!
Here is a short list of some pretty Awesome Cat Ladies!
46-year-old South African Riana Van Nieuwenhuizen shares her home with 4 orphaned cheetahs, 5 lions and 2 tigers. She says, “I love them all. But they’re a handful.”
50-year-old Nina Kostsovo lives in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk. She picked up her first street cat 15 years ago and has since not been able to let a cat in need pass by without helping it. This Russian woman has opened her tiny two-room apartment to over 130 stray cats. Video after the jump.
This is a real costume dedicated to the Awesomeness of Cat Ladies. I won’t make any money if you buy this, but I will laugh if you send me a picture.
And then there is the Cat Writers’ Association, Inc. (CWA). This is an organization of professionals in either writing, publishing and broadcasting. And to be in the CWA, what you write, publish, or broadcast has to be all about cats. Now I’m not a lady, but this IS all about cats. I might need to see what the dues are, because I’d really like to start getting their quarterly newsletter aptly named MEOW! (members only)
And finally, the great people over at mcphee.com have given us possibly the best thing ever — a Crazy Cat Lady Action Figure!
Every town has a Crazy Cat Lady. She’s the one who lives in a tiny house full of feral felines. This 5-1/4″ tall, hard vinyl Crazy Cat Lady Action Figure has a wild look in her eye and comes with six cats. You know you want it.
