All of these women are incredibly honest and open about their situation. It is especially brave considering the way society ridicules and humiliates unmarried older women.
Excellent observation, Deja. These women, in many ways, are the lucky ones. One of the advantages of being in a "despised" class is getting to see peoples' true colors. Getting past their ill treatment or dismissal, one can be thankful to know the truth about them. The best response is to wear one's own quiet dignity and to be always kind, merciful, and polite and because they are the ones who need it most. The other advantage is in having real friends who see a person of value.
I'm going to be one of this Lady's.. And I'm only 33. Got 3 cats and 2 chinchillas, they are my kids, i spend all my money on them, i go to work and go straight home to be with them. I'm bipolar and done having them, I've become a better person. Not everyone wants to get married and have kids, I've done the relationships, stepkids, false friends... I'm happier now than ever before.. I love my own company with my babies. I don't care that I've cancelled nights out cos i didn't want to leave my cats on their own x
Robert it made me really unbelievably happy to read your story. Thank you for sharing. I needed that smile before I drift off into dreamland. Its just so great to hear about love & caring in a world that needs it so badly. Maybe there is a deep soul reason some of us do not get to have the children we wanted this time around (?) Who knows, possibly there is something to learn before the next chapter. Animals sure have taught me alot & I too have altered my life to care for pups that I never had any intention of "owning" anyway's . . . . meow meow woof woof sending many heartfelt blessings
+Battle Kitten Man take your negativity BS off this sweet thread & go "battle" someone who actually *WANTS* to participate instead of trolling other people for gawds' sake it get soOo old . . . . there just *HAS TO* be one on every flippin thread :0/
Cc I think he meant people who claim that their hoarding is a rescue. I thought the same thing initially though, a legitimate 501 c (3) is a nonprofit rescue status and has regulations in order to obtain and keep. Ziggy, didn’t have that from what I could tell, nothing was receiving proper medical care but she referred to herself as a “rescue” when in reality (although with good intentions) she has become a hoarder
I think he meant in terms of the psychology. Both are trying to save cats from the streets. One just wants to keep them and the other wants to find them homes. In some cases the lines get blurred though.
Good rescue requires the ability to provide appropriate food and medical care, to let animals go to new homes, and to exercise restraint when bringing new animals in. Hoarders can call themselves rescuers, but that doesn't make it true.
It’s really sad that they all have bad memories of growing up. It’s like humans failed them and the animals gave them unconditional love to make up for that. Whatever makes you happy without hurting others
The first lady melted my heart. When she looked at the camera and smiled with such joy after showing off pictures of her cats really had me feeling some type of way. It was pure joy in her eyes lol
Джозеф that is so funny!!!!! I read your comment and could not stop laughing- i called people from the office to come to my desk and read this. We all laughed!!
Jenny and her 16 cats really tugged at my heart strings. She looks like she’s holding it down and the cats are happy and well taken care of. I hope she one day REALLY believes she’s not defective.
She IS mentally ill. She has serious problems and needs help, nothing about that is normal or healthy. if you think it is then YOU need mental help as well.
Actually I think that the First Lady is just a bit odd the second w/ 16 is probably on the autism spectrum and the rescue might be a hoarder just one with resources
At the age of 19 i was a crazy cat guy, i rescued strays in Greece, fed them, loved them and got them to peak health before finding them a new loving home. My biggest achievent is getting 26 at one go adopted by a old couple. Miss every single one of them and breaks my heart everytime i let another one go, im 45 now and can still remember the face and personality of every single cat the passed through my arms. I fuckin' love cats!
Still i think some of these cases border abuse, like 116 cats in a house i think thats a bit cruel. You might as well put them in a zoo if you are going to treat them like that. Cats are unique companions because they choose you, they are not collectables you stack in cages like wtf?
There's a huge "sanctuary" in Larnaca which is seriously underfunded, near the salt lake. I sent them supplies because I was only visiting. They need spaying and neutering. I know Greece has a problem, too. I live in Tbilisi, Georgia and it's out of control here with cats and dogs. I rehomed 14 in Ukraine and 7 in the US, wish I could do more. Some I couldn't save. I remember every one of them😭
I own 7, but almost always have fosters as well. Sometimes a new litter, so I know I have had upwards of 20 cats in my home at some point. Also, are you single? Let’s chat! Lol
@@chetyoubetya8565 Nope, she's German. She said so herself! She has bad arthritic hands and far too many cats for an ordinary domestic household! Although, she does love them.
It’s not the fact they own cats, most of these woman are decent owners who also take care of themselves and know what they are doing. Even the lady with 16 cats has everything under control and her cats are clean and healthy. But the ones with over 100 cats seem to have problems with keeping things clean and under control. How can you assure the safety of those woman and all those cats if they pick every single cat they see on their streets? Especially if they can’t afford to take them to the vet...the amount of diseases that can go on are intense and dangerous for both the cats and owner. That’s the real Cat Lady problem.
Because we see dogs as MAN'S best friend more so than WOMEN'S best friend. And we RARELY judge men as much as we judge women. Men who proclaim to be bachelors and "only need my dogs" almost never get this much heat. Even if they are 50 years old.
What about the "certified flushable" non-clay kind? I've been flushing World's Best for years without issue. Litterbox near the toilet, scoop, flush, done.
PongoXBongo yep.. or Feline Pine is another one.. I knew someone who also used that regularly for years. I tried it myself but had to go back to traditional clumping clay/sand because one of mine was _very_ particular and would not use it. When I first adopted her I had to put down plastic like painter's use to protect the carpet and then put old news paper over that (for easy cleanup) because she wouldn't use the litter box properly. She was the first cat I ever cared for so I didn't know any better, I think I had just gotten some Johnny Cat non-scoopable litter. She would go near the box but rarely if ever in it. An experienced cat-mom suggested to me that some cats don't like certain scents or textures to their litter. I went through most brands/types that I could find at the store before finding that she was happy with Tidy Cats and Fresh Step scoopable/clumping. I can't flush it, but at least I get a workout lugging heavy trash bags of used litter to the dumpster!
As a plumber's daughter, I can vouch for what Frostian is saying. Please don't flush ANYTHING except toilet paper and body waste. Don't flush cat litter. Don't flush wipes. Don't flush feminine products (even the internal ones). Don't flush paper towels. Wrap all of these things and throw them in the trash. They might not cause problems for YOU, but be guaranteed that they WILL cause problems down the line for your community/ city. Every year, towns spend an inordinate amount of money (larger cities spend multi-millions) cleaning out the sewer clogs of all of these supposedly 'flushable' things. When these truly NON-flushable things get mixed with the grease from dishes going down the sink, they create 'fatbergs' (like icebergs) that cost millions to remove. Guess who gets the cost of that shunted to their bills? YOU and everyone else you know.
@@traciepowell6315 ........Why? I love a brutally honest person. You don't? If we all had what we are ashamed of,? We would NEVER learn about human behavior, etc. I think it shows how they are her literal babies and if she had to? She would keep them ALIVE! Peace to you!
adopting my cat off the street changed my life. he is my son, he’s never judged me, I take good care of him and he takes care of me. i don’t know what i’d do without him.
The cat isn't your son and never will be. Also, if you're a crappy person, just say that. You seem concerned about being judged which would imply you're a bad person.
@@HaggisMuncher-69-420 lol you seem to have some personal issues you need to deal with. i take very good care of my cats, i put their health and well being before mine. i think you're just jealous no one cares that much about you. get help
@@HaggisMuncher-69-420 from just a glance at your channel, you seem to have no life and nothing better to do than to bring other people down. i hope you grow as a person and get the help you need
Thank you for saying that! I am 22 and have 13 cats that I’ve rescued. My family tells me I need to get down to 2 cats and that they will affect my life in bad way and people put me down for it a lot. But they’re very healthy, well nourished loving cats. They make my life so amazing. A lot of people don’t know about how many cats are put down in animal shelters because there’s too many. The fact that I have saved them from that fate makes the judgment from people worth it :)
in Istanbul everyone takes care of the cats on the streets, they can enter every place and someone will help them or offer some leftovers, they are healthy and most importantly free
I'm in Israel, and I always keep fresh water out for the feral cats. In the summer I have to fill the bowls several times a day. My next door neighbor feeds all of them.
We (my boyfriend and I) have nine cats. But all of them are chipped, vaccinated, dewormed, castrated and properly taken care of.We built a catio on our terrace and they have a cat flap. We have our own house. We saved a few of our cats from very harsh conditions. They thank us every day! Yes, I'm a cat lady and I love it! My boyfriend Mike is a cat lord 😁❤️
I have one. But I don't have many videos online. By now, we have 11 cats. I had to take them in, because one of them has a heart disease and they would put him down in a shelter. He has to take medicine every single day...
@Carina_ loves_ cats I agree thank you. We just need to learn our limits and only take on what we can and stop when we are ahead..I have 15 I'm stopping now
Man I love that lady with three cats. She seems so down to earth and just overall lovely. I would hang out with her and look at cat photo albums. I really truly wish her all the best.
She's beautiful. Though that is just a few too many cats, I'm happy with the one I rescued, though she was already spayed and is scared of people, with an hernia that wasn't operated on and terrible fleas and ear infections. I just wish we could foster some kittens to help with her maternal instincts.
It can be surprisingly hard to make new friends as an introverted adult. If there's no one at work with similar interests, you don't really go out much, and you don't "feel lonely" (no urge to reach out). Especially when you can get a quick friend fix online by chatting, gaming, or indulging in some one-sided friendships by watching people's vlogs. It's sad if you stop and think about, but you don't think about it all that often. And before you know it, precious years have passed and you've got nothing to show for it in the friendship department. I speak from experience. If it wasn't for my furry friends, I would probably lose it. _dammit I just dried my eyes after watching this..._ T_T
You guys are lonely because you chose to, you can make yourself not lonely by changing your beliefs and opinion about other people. If you sucessfully convince yourself that other people are good and you will accept them for all their flaws(jealousy, envy) and you will drop all your fantasy ideals in favor of allowing yourself to experience others, you will never be lonely. But you can't just escape life or find excuse with cats to avoid people. Start with affirmations and opinions and write them on paper and read them everyday and you will see that you are your worst enemy and you are all your diseases and cure as well.
Mubarak Alsaleh may be other people do not want want friends, some people are naturally introverted, having too many people in your life can actually be very stressful and over whelming. At one time I had many friends and it got too much for me, I'm much happier having a couple of special close friends than loads of people in my life. Not to mention trying to please people all the time is very hard work, I'm tired of being a people pleaser and people taking advantage all the time. I have a couple of cats in my life, have creative hobbys and am much better and happier for it. It is not compulsory to have friends although your comment offers good advice for those who might want to make friends.
Have to say that your implication that 'you have to experience it to understand it' is what all cult members say. It seems hoarding cats is just another cult like any other.
Oh yeah, the true love of keeping a hundred cats you can't possibly have a relationship with or properly medically care for in a filthy house that apparently stinks so bad the neighbors can smell it. I own cats. Have my entire life. I love cats. But if you can't properly care for them, you're doing more harm than good.
i've thought of that exact thing to a lot of these people i keep seeing on the other channels. like 18 kids and counting or i'm addicted to having babies. THAT is too many. at least the pet owners are paying for thier animals and not taking money out of society to help pay for thier babies.
@@Barbievel it is my business when my tax paying dollars goes into paying for their children. At least pet owners don't ask for handouts. if you can't have a kid without asking for support for them, then obviously you can't afford it. :)
@@amyhipps2989 I commented before I watched, I really thought OP was talking about sexual partners for some reason and not cats lol and as far as what you’re talking about I have no idea either lol
i think who ever owns the farm did not own the cat the lady didn't just stroll in to a private farm , as much as we love cats they do hunt and cause distress to chickens ducks ... so i understand .
The lady with 16 cats and 1 dog, really she's perfect. I want to be her friend, she's funny too, and her house is so clean. There's nothing wrong with her. Hope she find someone that accepts her wornderful personality.❤
@@FixedFace if she can feed them, take care of them, keeping her home clean and mostly, if cats are therapeutic for her, I honestly don't see the problem. She seriously loves animals as she also got a dog and animals are peace and love for our soul.
I am a cat man from the UK who thinks all you cat ladies are just wonderful. my cat is called Carol she is black and white and 14 years old and most beautiful.
Carol Thecat I have Lucky, a 20 year old ginger and Carrie, an 11 yr old Calico. I lost Queenie and Mr Bitz. I’m disabled at 64, and when these die I’ll try to find a senior cat. ❤️
Well..my husband of one year didn't like cats. He's a dog person. Recently i adopted a kitten..slowly but surely she grew on him. Yesterday, he said he thinks he loves cats..I can never forget that moment.
Same with my husband. Did not like cats at all until we moved in together. He still doesn't pick them up because he's scared he's going to hurt them, but when they sit with him, he's all smiles. I hear him talking to them all the time, it's so funny.
My heart breaks at the thought of these kind women suffering alone. They mean well, they honestly care with their entire hearts and all I wish for them is the love and acceptance they deserve and give to their cats
My heart breaks for people who don't do their part and try to help stray cats who have been abandon by moron humans because when you get down to it, it's humans who created this problem
It's a shame there isn't more 'crazy cat ladies' they are the selfless people of the the world, it would be a better place by sure, if they were more of them in helping to rescue and look after these poor frightened abandoned cats plus dogs... bless them all for the care and love they show to
Animal hoarding… when it’s more that you can hold …. It’s when cats are sick and dying and you don’t take them to the vet … or it’s dirty around . And all those cages - is terrible 😣 ! Or person in debt 💸 because of it … it’s crazy .
She is a hoarder, but compared to other hoarding situations I've seen, that is definitely the cleanest house with the healthiest cats I've ever seen. She's a hoarder who takes care of them, which is a huge shocker. But I do believe she should help re-home a vast majority of them, for her and their sake. Though she seems to understand that.
Ngl I’m 21, live on my own and recently got a kitten. As someone who has suffered from mental health issues their whole life, my cat is the one thing that makes me feel truly happy. I feel so sad for ladies like these who have found something safe that makes them truly happy, but they just get ridiculed for it. It’s a hard world out there, especially when you don’t quite ‘fit in’ - people should be allowed to do what makes them feel happy.
@Musings it was like that for me when I got a cat too. I had an awful childhood and suffered with depression for years, I got a cat and it helped me through some of my toughest times.
You are all superwomen. As a cat lover ,I totally understand you. My cats give me so much relief and happiness. I love them.more than human beings as they are pure. I have 3 and I rescued so many. I am so thankful.
The reason these women are so brutally honest about their own life is because cats accept you for who you are. They bring out your true self and don't judge.
Omg lol cats are so judgemental,the amount of people here who don't understand cat behaviour is outstanding....I'm an ex vet nurse and I have three cats,cats will turn their back on you,they are ignorant and think you are their servant...I still love them though
@@intuitiveeevee Just like humans, cats have different personalities. Some cats do seem judgmental, but other cats are the sweetest, most accepting creatures alive. That "arrogant cat" stereotype is annoying.
This Documentary makes me so depressed. I guess because these women have good hearts, but they are lonely, in over their heads, and judged so harshly by society.
@The Real Deal I’m glad you do that, we should all try to minimize stray animals in some way. Me I adopted all my dogs from the streets of San Antonio Tx. And we do not buy puppies or kittens from pet stores. We adopt first. But unfortunately we can’t safe them all. And that truly breaks my heart. My advice, don’t get a pet unless you have the money and the love to carry them on for 15 years or more from now. If not, you don’t need a pet. Animals have feelings and when you abandon them you break their hearts 💕 and traumatize them. You are sending them off to die if you dump them. But yes if you are going to take in animals follow the laws of your city/county/state and think of the animal’s happiness, not just your own. My friend Thanks for your efforts. I hope others will learn to care as well.
This is the best documentary of all time and Ive watched it over and over through the years. There’s no better way to catch the personality of some of the most amazing cat owners. It puts such a smile on my face. Even when they’re begging for conjugal visits. I wonder if she ever found anybody?
@final boss I think the prod team just asked her to do the entry for the cut and she's actually been there for a while, which is why her dog wasn't that excited when he saw her
I almost died of shock and horror when she brought that feral cat in from the country and just dumped it in a cage with another cat, in a room full of loose cats, with no proper quarantine period. And the one cat she took out in a blanket was SO SICK there's no way it should be anywhere near the others, it should be in it's own quiet room well away from other cats. Some of her animals were in horrific condition. Tbh many of them would have been better off on the streets. Many places are moving to a spay/neuter and release program for feral cats - their outcomes are better when they're allowed to stay outdoors.
You know, I'm not even convinced that she thinks she's right. It's obviously more about her ego and her having a sense of control than it is about helping the cats. The cats don't mean anything to her, they're just objects. I mean, she literally used one as a hand towel. It's so sad :(
The part where she wiped off the food on the cats was so disturbing to me. It just says so much. I mean, who would do that? She's very unhygienic and just crazy! The part where she trapped the cat and then said she could see in their eyes after she traps them that they know they were saved... I see a very terrified cat whose life is about to change for the worse. Those poor cats living in cramped conditions, it must smell just awful. It's just horrible life for them. She clearly can't even think of what it's like for them. She just wants to keep collecting more. It is very selfish indeed!
Suchnothing ME TOO!!!! In the beginning I thought she was going to TNT them...but when she brought it HOME....i was yelling at the screen! How HORRIBLE!!
The one lady with 152 cats pushed me over the edge. She is absolutely insane and should never be allowed to have that many cats. It looks like a lot of them are in cages. That's no way to treat a cat. Right after that scene, I switch to something else. I could not watch anymore of this insanity.
@Theresa: Me too! I had to change the channel. The cats that were behind that drawer (start of the video) acted as if they had been stuck there for days. They were frightened. I hope something has been done - cats don’t belong in cages!
Sorry but I do think you are wrong, her cats look healthy clean and well fed (at great cost to herself) and I'm sure if you went to any cat sanctuary which she is you would find a few cats in cages that are sick or need to settle in , would you prefer she left them in the cold to starve?
I have 1 cat for 11 years. Recently, just got a cat sitting gig. The lady has 6 cats in an apartment, the place smells like concentrated ammonia that I gagged repeatedly every few secs when I 1st arrived. People like that needs help.
@@macrick Having six cats won't make a person's residence smell that bad unless the person isn't properly caring for the litterboxes or they don't have enough litter boxes. In a household of six cats, there should be at least 7 litter boxes that should be thoroughly scooped daily. I have two cats and three litter boxes. If it appears that a fourth litter box is needed, then I'll add one. Depending on the type of litter, litter boxes should be sanitized and refreshed weekly to monthly. If the litter boxes are well maintained and it still smells, then there is at least one cat that is not using the litter box due to a health issue or a behavioral issue.
I agree. But when you think about it, the main problem in my opinion is that so many of these cats, have been left uncared for by previous owners. Haven't been neutered either so the result is a boom in stray cats.
Having several cats saved my life after my only child was killed. They gave me so much love and allowed me to love and care for them. As long as they are clean, healthy, and loved...why not?
I loved the first lady, she seems to be such a sweet beautiful soul. The second is very funny. They are kind of lonely and sad but the cats help making their lives a little happier in my opinion. I think that they are very functional women who take good care of their animals, in opposite of the other two who cleary have a serious problem…
I understand the concern for taking care of these animals, but after getting too many of them it does more harm than it helps :( sad to see all those cats in cages
For all we know those cats argue over who will be chosen each day for bonus kibble covered human hands. Possibly the highest blessing in their kitty cat kingdom.
The boyfriend who was always stoned 😭 Then one day he forgot to smoke and realized he had a girlfriend and left? 😭😭😭😂😢 Poor girl. That's so funny and yet so sad.
She should try comedy. Also, she’s really good looking, I think she could do great. However I think she should find her cats new home. 16 cats is to many and will scared people. I think the magic 🪄 number is 3 and that’s even to much for one person.
My girlfriend is a "crazy" cat lady. Before i met her,i was an ignorant boy,who never lifted an eyebrow towards animals apart from the occasional own. She really opened up a whole new world. We currently have 31 rescued cats in our home .We take good care of them... In our country,poeple don't give a damn about abandoned,often tortured cats in need. So we do the best we can,so they can have a good life. We also don't have a life,never go out hahaha... Edit:We have 37... :D
Awwwwww ♥️♥️♥️♥️thank you for what you do I neutered 97 cats I got 39 at one time, I have 6 I take care of them the best I can I have no life either 😁😁😂😂😂 what country are you?
that honestly sounds very lonely. itd be hard to find someone thats ok with that many animals to live with and to take care of them in case u need to travel. even the chick says she knows she has a problem and is lonely.
That second lady absolutely broke my heart. I relate to her on a lot of levels. It sounds like she was a parentified eldest daughter and never really broke out of that. :(
I'm a 'crazy cat guy' because Ive taken two that my neighbor left behind when she moved, and I already had my 1. I have three and 1 outside that isn't mine that I watch out for. She belongs to some folks that live on the street behind me but they don't seem to care about her much. After I noticed they leave her out all night in the cold I built her a box and i run a little heat pad in there for her. But yeah, im called a 'crazy cat person' all the time for this.
You're not a crazy cat person. You do love cats but you aren't crazy. That's so kind and wonderful! I adore animals (especially cats) and would do the same!
I started off jokingly like this will be me, now I’m freaking crying because it’s so close to home. The feeling like an outcast, loneliness, the need to care for something, a rocky childhood, feeling trapped and lost in life...and RIP Bongo, this random stranger cried for you (and for that kitten).
" They are a non prescription anti depressant " I absolutely agree. I adore every one of the precious ferral and stray cats and kittens who ( from 2006 to date ) chose to adopt me as their "Mom", including those who have passed. Of course they are all well fed, loved and steralised. Every one of them knows that they have me wrapped around their little paws lol.
@@skeptigal2785 Hi, currently I have 7. 4 cats have passed away in the last 3 years, and 2 more have adopted us in the last year. Do you have any cats?
I have one cat. He eats expensive cat food because he is picky, I couldn't afford another and my apartment only allows for two pets. Each pet requires a 500 dollar deposit plus 25 dollar rent every month.
For some, like us, it's about money. We have two we need to spay and we'll have to wait for next month and the month after to afford it. We keep the cats inside so they won't breed.
I have observed Cat obsessed people are usually very down to earth, honest, do not mask off their emotions, and enjoy their own company and most of them have had hard time adjusting with the pretentious society . This is why they might come across society as weird or out of the box. People do not appreciate those qualities. Sad in today's world that is why its hard to find a partner. And looking after cats give them a purpose , a comfort and knowing someone needs them. Its sad but sweet too.
if you don't do the same as everyone else in this society , as an individual should, considered crazy . Even if most are unhappy doing it. Unconscious living.
Nooooo the woman with over 100 cats that just becomes abusive at that point because there is no way it is humane for over 100 cats to live in a single home. I doubt she can properly take care of all of them the way they need. They looked unkempt. This is an animal hoarding issue and illegal for her to own that many.
you help feral cats by vaccinating them, by sterilizing them, de-worming them, feeding them regularly and *NOT* by keeping them in a house with hundreds of other cats. No.
Yes I agree with your statement 100% but I think something like this would be beneficial for every stray animal/ country, instead of killing them or just letting them reproduce, like it’s the case in so many countries
@@chocolatecinn du bist der erste Mensch, den ich je gesehen habe der das nicht weiss hahah. Aber vielleicht warst/bist du auch nicht viel im Englisch sprachigen Raum unterwegs, wenn ja, dann ist das weird weil man das eig überall liest. Ist im Standart wortbrauch drinnen. peace
The lady with 123 cats needs to have a catio outdoors (a protective enclosure) so they can’t escape or be hurt. At the same time, I do hope she is on social media or local networks making sure she hasn’t “rescued” someone’s pet. I have a cat rescue and believe in TNR and take care of up to a dozen or so at a time.
The second woman is a TOTAL CATCH. I don't know her personally but she's funny and attractive. Shes right, she's not hurting anyone and the cats are well taken care of. I hope she finds her cat dad one day.
She also seems pretty sane. She is aware of her situation and is aware getting too many would be a bad idea. I also say this in the kindest way as I do believe the ones who claim to be rescuers have some insanity as they aren't able to care for them and find them homes. So they keep doing the same thing over and over again (catch a cat, house, and feed) and expect different results (rehoming and saving them). This lady doesn't have this mentality, she's clearly lonely yes but she's pretty and sweet and should be able to find herself a cat dad.
She seems to have a lot of good qualities based on this video. Like a lot of us, she probably has to work through some personal issues with intimacy and forming healthy relationships that perhaps manifests in owning more cats than she HERSELF thinks is totally healthy (tbh it doesn't look outlandish to me given that she lives in a standalone house). She seems to have more than enough going on to have a decent amount of choice in men when she decides to genuinely look for a LTR.
Yes. She has such sadness and trauma and understanding in her eyes. She knows and has seen too much and you can see it in her eyes. She's probably extremely empathetic too. I hope she finds a lover.
😸😸😸 I talk to my three all the time. I tell them when I'm going to go shower, going to leave the house. I promise to bring back treats or toys. Is that odd?
@@cats9654 Before I read your post, i was going to ask if they knew what food etc meant. 😺. I don't say food, kitchen, treats out loud unless I want to feed my monsters.... I mean little darlings. Every morning, lunch and dinner time Joe my Male comes to alert me that it's time to eat. We have a routine, he stares at me, I ask him if it's time. He meows, I say are you sure, he meows again and touches my face with his left paw. Then, we go to the kitchen were the girls are waiting. Yes, I'm a crazy cat lady.
@@cats9654 ,my 3 are always inside. But, I live in area where we have people that allow their dogs to run free, plus we have cayotes and hawks. I worry about what would happen if they were to go out. The routine of feeding them, is their canned food, they have "crunchies" dry food available at all times. Yes,they have treats, no certain time. How many do you have? Just curious not trying to be nosy.
The realtor who plays the violin seems pretty cool to me. I like (what I perceive to be) her sense of humour... when she said "I'm not on medication... any more" I chuckled, and I found her likable, honest, and heartwarming. I wish her all of the best. I feel like she still has a chance to have the life she wishes she had.
@JexDahSnak Rose , well, at some point (number), you can't manage them. My two take up quite a bit of my time - and money - between PROPERLY feeding, watering, grooming, vetting, and loving on them. Four isn't excessive. 100, needless to say...
The brown haired woman has a point. If you can afford to take care of the cats, keep a regular job and your not hurting anyone, who cares if you want to have a bunch of cats. Whose business is it anyway.
I'm fortunate that I work at an animal hospital, so I get discounts on medications and procedures. My husband and I can afford to take care of our 12 cats. I'll never regret being a cat lady.
Own one baby so I can devote all my loving" to her! Veterinary care in Cda anyways is very costly mummy is retired so that's the facts! Though baby will get the best of the best always had / will! 😺🕊🕊💖💖💖🔮
Im 58 with 4 cats on psych meds too. I get it. I hv now changed my focus on rescuing horses from slaughter. I work a part time job to donate to horse rescues. One day i will hv a horse... And a barn... And barn cats❤
you'd be more crazy to not talk to your pets i'd say. over the 16 years i had a cat he became more and more likely to talk back in his language when i spoke to him lol, leading to deep conversations. mostly about food though.
@The Left Over, what good would that do? I hate feminism with a passion but really don't see what these crazy cat hoarders have to do with you're average feminist normie.
@@Pentapus1024 Well......I mean, there is an archetype that has been successfully projected through media, popular opinion, and society in general. And that, reveals some solid objective realities. Women who are prissy, sensitive, overbearing, and dominant (or they try to assert dominance), seem to find themselves breast feeding cats while reading SImone de Beauvoir sipping latte expresses. however, attributing them all to the "left wing," reveals a severe lack of insight, ignorance, terrible personality, and overall wreck of a human being.
@@soepsoep6445 Exactly. They 100% did something to a cat or cats trying to force them to love them or torturing them as kids do, cats hate them as a result, and they hate them back.
I noticed how she didn't bother to get any of these cats checked if they had a chip, or at least a facebook page for people that might own those cats...Just because its outside and a little dirty, doesn't mean it has no home. Cats can have huge territory, so its a possibility she could be abducting people's pets. Why my cats have collars and chips, you never know.
Psycrow I wondered that too. People let their cats outside and they don’t have collars. It would be a shame to end up trapped in that house. Cats are territorial animals and suffer living confined with so many other cats
One of my cats has been missing for three weeks now, I have done everything I can to find him but no sign of him anywhere... There's a good chance that some crazy like that 'rescuer' has just stolen him off the street and not bothered to check that he has a home 😢 he is microchipped so any vet or shelter can get my details in minutes if anyone bothered to check
@@vapidmuse784 I guess all the dirty, scraggly children i see at the playground don't have homes, there is simply no other explanation for them being momentarily dirty and scraggly.
I feel much empathy for those womens. I wish them all the support, because besides the loneliness, they have to work a lot to feed and care. It’s so easy to call them crazy and turn around not helping.
I lost my orange tabby, Boots, to a “Rescuer” when I was in middle school. Boots would walk me to the bus stop in the morning, wait with me, then be on his way as I got on the bus. He then did his morning rounds. As each neighbour got ready to leave for the day, he would visit them. Once he was done his morning rounds it was time to wait at the am kindergarteners bus stop and walk them home. Then he would wait for the pm Kindergartner to get on their bus. Once that was done, its time to visit all the housewives of the neighbourhood. Once that was all finished, it was about time for me to be back from school. He would be waiting at the bus stop for me and then walk me home. He would spend the rest of the afternoon and evening inside with my family. For five years that was his routine. For five years we knew where he was every minute of every day. Then the “Resucer” in our neighbourhood moved in to a new, bigger house to rescue more cats. We have not seen him since. Boots was a free kitten my sister got from South America that she just dropped on my mom and I. But we loved that cat. He would sleep in my bed, and make sure I woke up to eat when I was sick. He would let me dress him up in babydoll clothes and stroller him around with out a care in the world. We should have known this was going to happen. The Rescuer was dropping hints that she was going to take him with her when she moved, but my family brushed them off as crude jokes. Once she moved Boots was gone and we didn’t know where the rescuer moved to so that we could get him back. It has been almost 9 years since he was taken and I still miss my tabby.
WoW that is truly wretched :0/ what a creep Im sorry for your loss. happy you had that wonderful experience though. I had a rag doll breed who only lived 9 years but all the cats in my family home growing up lived past 21 years of age so I had major hidden expectations & when he got cancer it almost killed me. To this day I will cry if I give it "too much" thought, it's been 10 years now I figured out how to cherish the time I had & after that experience I really really understood that saying "Its better to have loved & lost than to never have loved at all"
@Shannon O'Rourke - It must've been heartbreaking when he went missing. What an awful, selfish thing for that neighbour to do. I'm sorry this was done to you and your family.
i can't imagine something like that happening with my own orange tabby. i'd be so heartbroken ): the "rescuer" knew that he belonged to a loving home- they had no reason at all to take him from his love & happiness other than the fact that they're simply a greedy hoarder with no real regard for animals' feelings
This is a great video. The best part is seeing how much the interviewees BEAM when they talk about their cats. You can feel the love. Thanks for sharing!
My cats are my literal life. Without them, I would have been dead years ago. They love me unconditionally and have outlasted many of the people in my life. They don't hurt me on purpose to get a reaction out of me, like my abusive exes. I have 2 perfect cats, and they are my world.
Welcome to my life! My cats are always happy to see me, always want to be around me, when I & everyone else thinks I suck, it doesn’t matter because they love me. Outlasted soooo many people. They’re the best.
It’s a bit demanding for their day to day life... “oh hey, can you watch my 16 cats while I go away on a vacation/ get married/visit a friend?” I can imagine the litter boxes are consistently full...
The second woman (who also had a dog) was very funny, and her cats were very affectionate with her. Her house also looked clean. The woman with over 170 cats seems seriously mentally ill, her house looked disgusting, and she doesn’t recognize that the majority of her cats, which were kept in cages (which makes me so angry), were running away from her and were clearly feral. That is NOT love for an animal.
aleister crowley I can totally agree with you there. And all these in the comment section who fail to see the in my opinion very obvious problem with the 150+ cats surprise me (not in a good way). Plus she probably takes away cats from their real owners as she takes every cat outside (who she claims to be neglected)... I mean the house looks awful, the cats don't seem to be taken very good care of and they seem feral as you said. But the one with the 16 cats seems to have it really good under control. The cats seem very fine as does the dog and everything is clean
SilverMoonlight omg.. I bet you both are talking about this lady 38:20. "When you see the look on their face, literally the look of surprise that somebody cares about them." umm.. I think not! Yes, that is a look of panic and surprise, but it's more of a 'wtf just happened to me? how do I get free!' look, not 'wow, I hope my abductor is taking me to a happy home' look. That trap cage.. its old and rusty.. clearly has sharp edges as she easily cut herself on it.. and you put a panicking cat in there.. not wrapped in a thick towel or similar. Did she not see the marks all over it's face and nose when she let it out of the trap and into the prison? I hope those marks were only rust rubbed off and not the cat's blood. This woman needs a healthy reality check.
I wasn't really watching when her story came up but went back to watch it after reading your comment and couldn't watch all of it cos it upset me so much. I'm passionate about cats and rescuing them but I don't keep the cats that I find and don't attempt to catch every cat I see roaming the streets. You have to be smart and have several boundaries with how much yo do, when rescuing any animal. That woman needs to be stopped!
Cats are very territorial and need space. Hey poor cats must be so stressed out, and prone to physical and emotional ailments--very unhealthy situation.
God bless you, you wonderful, noble hearted, loving women. More people like you are needed to save not only the innocent helpless angel cats, but the whole world. Thank you for being who you are.
I totally agrree. I know a lady that has 10 sick rescued dogs and she is not labelled crazy, nor is her husband although naturally these create a lot of work and expense
It would shock and upset me if a woman having 3 cats is termed that way, many people have 3-5 cats and are considered quite 'normal'...if that is even the right term. I have the greatest respect for people who give a good life and love to cats.
My grandmother have 3 cats and 2 dogs,yet she is not a crazy cat lady,you know why? Because she didnt have a room full of cat pictures,and dont want to breastfeed them. They are just house animals for her,not babies and whatnot. I think that's the difference
All of these women are incredibly honest and open about their situation. It is especially brave considering the way society ridicules and humiliates unmarried older women.
Excellent observation, Deja. These women, in many ways, are the lucky ones. One of the advantages of being in a "despised" class is getting to see peoples' true colors. Getting past their ill treatment or dismissal, one can be thankful to know the truth about them. The best response is to wear one's own quiet dignity and to be always kind, merciful, and polite and because they are the ones who need it most. The other advantage is in having real friends who see a person of value.
I'm going to be one of this Lady's.. And I'm only 33. Got 3 cats and 2 chinchillas, they are my kids, i spend all my money on them, i go to work and go straight home to be with them. I'm bipolar and done having them, I've become a better person. Not everyone wants to get married and have kids, I've done the relationships, stepkids, false friends... I'm happier now than ever before.. I love my own company with my babies. I don't care that I've cancelled nights out cos i didn't want to leave my cats on their own x
Robert it made me really unbelievably happy to read your story. Thank you for sharing. I needed that smile before I drift off into dreamland.
Its just so great to hear about love & caring in a world that needs it so badly. Maybe there is a deep soul reason some of us do not get to have the children we wanted this time around (?)

A cat rescuer and a cat hoarder are not the same.
Cc I think he meant people who claim that their hoarding is a rescue. I thought the same thing initially though, a legitimate 501 c (3) is a nonprofit rescue status and has regulations in order to obtain and keep. Ziggy, didn’t have that from what I could tell, nothing was receiving proper medical care but she referred to herself as a “rescue” when in reality (although with good intentions) she has become a hoarder
I think he meant in terms of the psychology. Both are trying to save cats from the streets. One just wants to keep them and the other wants to find them homes. In some cases the lines get blurred though.
Agree
Especially when countless of those cats probably have heartbroken owners at home.
Good rescue requires the ability to provide appropriate food and medical care, to let animals go to new homes, and to exercise restraint when bringing new animals in. Hoarders can call themselves rescuers, but that doesn't make it true.
It’s really sad that they all have bad memories of growing up. It’s like humans failed them and the animals gave them unconditional love to make up for that. Whatever makes you happy without hurting others
I can say that I relate to these stories, for the exact reason you gave.
@@7777VANITY

lurking it totally creeped and grossed me out
Yeah, those meatbags are just around her for the meat
You can plainly see the first woman's cats actually have a true love-bond with her.

Jenny and her 16 cats really tugged at my heart strings. She looks like she’s holding it down and the cats are happy and well taken care of.
I hope she one day REALLY believes she’s not defective.
She IS mentally ill. She has serious problems and needs help, nothing about that is normal or healthy. if you think it is then YOU need mental help as well.

@@Greywind920 She's not. She's just lonely and didn't have much luck with guys. That is sad but perfectly normal. Cats or no cats.
Of course she is not defective - she loves and cares and provides.
Actually I think that the First Lady is just a bit odd the second w/ 16 is probably on the autism spectrum and the rescue might be a hoarder just one with resources
At the age of 19 i was a crazy cat guy, i rescued strays in Greece, fed them, loved them and got them to peak health before finding them a new loving home.
My biggest achievent is getting 26 at one go adopted by a old couple. Miss every single one of them and breaks my heart everytime i let another one go, im 45 now and can still remember the face and personality of every single cat the passed through my arms. I fuckin' love cats!
Still i think some of these cases border abuse, like 116 cats in a house i think thats a bit cruel. You might as well put them in a zoo if you are going to treat them like that.
Cats are unique companions because they choose you, they are not collectables you stack in cages like wtf?
There's a huge "sanctuary" in Larnaca which is seriously underfunded, near the salt lake. I sent them supplies because I was only visiting. They need spaying and neutering. I know Greece has a problem, too. I live in Tbilisi, Georgia and it's out of control here with cats and dogs. I rehomed 14 in Ukraine and 7 in the US, wish I could do more. Some I couldn't save. I remember every one of them😭
I haven't met a cat I didn't fall in love with ❣
bless YOU1!!!
I own 7, but almost always have fosters as well. Sometimes a new litter, so I know I have had upwards of 20 cats in my home at some point.

One lady is French, one is German. How do you know she passed away???
What i never understood is why its okay for people to wanna die for their dogs, but loving cats makes you "crazy"
It’s not the fact they own cats, most of these woman are decent owners who also take care of themselves and know what they are doing. Even the lady with 16 cats has everything under control and her cats are clean and healthy. But the ones with over 100 cats seem to have problems with keeping things clean and under control. How can you assure the safety of those woman and all those cats if they pick every single cat they see on their streets? Especially if they can’t afford to take them to the vet...the amount of diseases that can go on are intense and dangerous for both the cats and owner. That’s the real Cat Lady problem.
Becoz there are too many bad PR on cats I think... whereas dog has always been portrayed as man's best friend! :P My poor kitties
I always think that! it annoys me
Because we see dogs as MAN'S best friend more so than WOMEN'S best friend. And we RARELY judge men as much as we judge women. Men who proclaim to be bachelors and "only need my dogs" almost never get this much heat. Even if they are 50 years old.
@@pfchan9052 agreed but people also do it to dogs
Don't flush the litter down the toilet, it clogs the pipes with time. Carry it out with the trash.
Frostian and take the cats out with u
What about the "certified flushable" non-clay kind? I've been flushing World's Best for years without issue. Litterbox near the toilet, scoop, flush, done.
PongoXBongo yep.. or Feline Pine is another one.. I knew someone who also used that regularly for years. I tried it myself but had to go back to traditional clumping clay/sand because one of mine was _very_ particular and would not use it.
When I first adopted her I had to put down plastic like painter's use to protect the carpet and then put old news paper over that (for easy cleanup) because she wouldn't use the litter box properly. She was the first cat I ever cared for so I didn't know any better, I think I had just gotten some Johnny Cat non-scoopable litter. She would go near the box but rarely if ever in it. An experienced cat-mom suggested to me that some cats don't like certain scents or textures to their litter. I went through most brands/types that I could find at the store before finding that she was happy with Tidy Cats and Fresh Step scoopable/clumping.
I can't flush it, but at least I get a workout lugging heavy trash bags of used litter to the dumpster!
As a plumber's daughter, I can vouch for what Frostian is saying. Please don't flush ANYTHING except toilet paper and body waste. Don't flush cat litter. Don't flush wipes. Don't flush feminine products (even the internal ones). Don't flush paper towels. Wrap all of these things and throw them in the trash. They might not cause problems for YOU, but be guaranteed that they WILL cause problems down the line for your community/ city. Every year, towns spend an inordinate amount of money (larger cities spend multi-millions) cleaning out the sewer clogs of all of these supposedly 'flushable' things. When these truly NON-flushable things get mixed with the grease from dishes going down the sink, they create 'fatbergs' (like icebergs) that cost millions to remove. Guess who gets the cost of that shunted to their bills? YOU and everyone else you know.
Frostian I was thinking the same thing. I’ve never flushed cat litter
Everything was cool until “I had a dream I was breastfeeding her.” I wasn’t ready 😩

Thank you for saying that! I am 22 and have 13 cats that I’ve rescued. My family tells me I need to get down to 2 cats and that they will affect my life in bad way and people put me down for it a lot. But they’re very healthy, well nourished loving cats. They make my life so amazing. A lot of people don’t know about how many cats are put down in animal shelters because there’s too many. The fact that I have saved them from that fate makes the judgment from people worth it :)
Same for not cats ladies.
I completely agree 👍
in Istanbul everyone takes care of the cats on the streets, they can enter every place and someone will help them or offer some leftovers, they are healthy and most importantly free

Aw poor Margot when she said she just wants a friend my heart broke a little. No one should be so lonely
It can be surprisingly hard to make new friends as an introverted adult. If there's no one at work with similar interests, you don't really go out much, and you don't "feel lonely" (no urge to reach out). Especially when you can get a quick friend fix online by chatting, gaming, or indulging in some one-sided friendships by watching people's vlogs. It's sad if you stop and think about, but you don't think about it all that often. And before you know it, precious years have passed and you've got nothing to show for it in the friendship department. I speak from experience. If it wasn't for my furry friends, I would probably lose it. _dammit I just dried my eyes after watching this..._ T_T
No one should, but lots of people are. Me involved.
I'd be her friend.
You guys are lonely because you chose to, you can make yourself not lonely by changing your beliefs and opinion about other people. If you sucessfully convince yourself that other people are good and you will accept them for all their flaws(jealousy, envy) and you will drop all your fantasy ideals in favor of allowing yourself to experience others, you will never be lonely. But you can't just escape life or find excuse with cats to avoid people. Start with affirmations and opinions and write them on paper and read them everyday and you will see that you are your worst enemy and you are all your diseases and cure as well.
Mubarak Alsaleh may be other people do not want want friends, some people are naturally introverted, having too many people in your life can actually be very stressful and over whelming. At one time I had many friends and it got too much for me, I'm much happier having a couple of special close friends than loads of people in my life. Not to mention trying to please people all the time is very hard work, I'm tired of being a people pleaser and people taking advantage all the time. I have a couple of cats in my life, have creative hobbys and am much better and happier for it. It is not compulsory to have friends although your comment offers good advice for those who might want to make friends.
If you have never had a cat then you don’t understand. These are precious ladies who truly love their cats.
Have to say that your implication that 'you have to experience it to understand it' is what all cult members say. It seems hoarding cats is just another cult like any other.
@@emmajane646 It can certainly become a compulsive or addictive behavior, but i don't see any of the qualities of being cult-like..

What a great comment. I too was moved and heartbroken while watching this video.
Eh, it's like a guy sleeping with a body pillow or a blow-up doll. They need love and acceptance I guess but good luck with that lol.
....It is not like sleeping with a body pillow or blow-up doll. The cat gives affection back and needs someone to take care of them.
There are also some cat ladies who are violent psychopaths. I have met a few.
My heart breaks for people who don't do their part and try to help stray cats who have been abandon by moron humans because when you get down to it, it's humans who created this problem
It's a shame there isn't more 'crazy cat ladies' they are the selfless people of the the world, it would be a better place by sure, if they were more of them in helping to rescue and look after these poor frightened abandoned cats plus dogs... bless them all for the care and love they show to
word
No, we don't need more crazy cat ladies. They are mentally ill and cause problems.
I'm a cat guy. I understand why people want to spend time with animals. They are beautiful in their own way.
when are you coming out of the closet?

I agree humans just suck and they are judgmental. I have two cats
Animal hoarding… when it’s more that you can hold …. It’s when cats are sick and dying and you don’t take them to the vet … or it’s dirty around . And all those cages - is terrible 😣 ! Or person in debt 💸 because of it … it’s crazy .
The third lady isn't a cat lady she's a cat hoarder and the living conditions are not healthy for her or the cats
Taylor Says omg when she got to twenty I thought it was too much and then...123?!!!
Taylor Says Who dumps litter in the toilet??
BellRain Chan a lot of cat litter brands these days make litter that you can actually flush.
She is a hoarder, but compared to other hoarding situations I've seen, that is definitely the cleanest house with the healthiest cats I've ever seen. She's a hoarder who takes care of them, which is a huge shocker.
But I do believe she should help re-home a vast majority of them, for her and their sake. Though she seems to understand that.
Agreed.
The second lady is hilarious. Funny af🤣🤣🤣ain't nothing wrong with this woman leave her alone.
She is funny, beautiful and knows what she wants. What a catch.
Whatever... she weirds me out a bit and I have six and counting.
Ngl I’m 21, live on my own and recently got a kitten. As someone who has suffered from mental health issues their whole life, my cat is the one thing that makes me feel truly happy. I feel so sad for ladies like these who have found something safe that makes them truly happy, but they just get ridiculed for it. It’s a hard world out there, especially when you don’t quite ‘fit in’ - people should be allowed to do what makes them feel happy.
that's how it starts. get rid of it now, go to a therapist, go to the bar, do something other than use furdemons as a cope.
@Musings it was like that for me when I got a cat too. I had an awful childhood and suffered with depression for years, I got a cat and it helped me through some of my toughest times.
You are all superwomen. As a cat lover ,I totally understand you. My cats give me so much relief and happiness. I love them.more than human beings as they are pure.
I have 3 and I rescued so many. I am so thankful.
Well ... I met a guy and he made fun of me being a cat lady and I only take care of two cats . am happy I didn’t continue dating that guy
Jepp, being with humans isn't for you.
I don’t trust guys who don’t like cats!
Lol date me!! I love Cats too. Lol
Ide love to date u...and ure cat!
He wouldn’t have continued dating you - freak

Hello Alice
I also hope so
How do you know that she passed away?
I love the second girl, "I have friends, I go out," *eyes flood with panic*
The reason these women are so brutally honest about their own life is because cats accept you for who you are. They bring out your true self and don't judge.
Omg lol cats are so judgemental,the amount of people here who don't understand cat behaviour is outstanding....I'm an ex vet nurse and I have three cats,cats will turn their back on you,they are ignorant and think you are their servant...I still love them though
@@intuitiveeevee Just like humans, cats have different personalities. Some cats do seem judgmental, but other cats are the sweetest, most accepting creatures alive. That "arrogant cat" stereotype is annoying.
Yes!!!
@@WreathStorm yes, I have so cute cat she's trained and follows me everywhere, gives me kisses.. she's the best
True for any animal you dumbass
This Documentary makes me so depressed. I guess because these women have good hearts, but they are lonely, in over their heads, and judged so harshly by society.
The one with 3 is silly but normal.
@The Real Deal I’m glad you do that, we should all try to minimize stray animals in some way. Me I adopted all my dogs from the streets of San Antonio Tx. And we do not buy puppies or kittens from pet stores. We adopt first. But unfortunately we can’t safe them all. And that truly breaks my heart.
My advice, don’t get a pet unless you have the money and the love to carry them on for 15 years or more from now.
If not, you don’t need a pet. Animals have feelings and when you abandon them you break their hearts 💕 and traumatize them. You are sending them off to die if you dump them.
But yes if you are going to take in animals follow the laws of your city/county/state and think of the animal’s happiness, not just your own. My friend
Thanks for your efforts. I hope others will learn to care as well.
It's edited to make them seem worse than they really are.
Amour Toujours
Most likely it is
Ima end up as one
This is the best documentary of all time and Ive watched it over and over through the years. There’s no better way to catch the personality of some of the most amazing cat owners. It puts such a smile on my face. Even when they’re begging for conjugal visits. I wonder if she ever found anybody?
I hope she did find someone who loves and appreciates her and treats her with love and respect.

@final boss I think the prod team just asked her to do the entry for the cut and she's actually been there for a while, which is why her dog wasn't that excited when he saw her
Blahblah User plus the dog looked old
I almost died of shock and horror when she brought that feral cat in from the country and just dumped it in a cage with another cat, in a room full of loose cats, with no proper quarantine period. And the one cat she took out in a blanket was SO SICK there's no way it should be anywhere near the others, it should be in it's own quiet room well away from other cats. Some of her animals were in horrific condition. Tbh many of them would have been better off on the streets. Many places are moving to a spay/neuter and release program for feral cats - their outcomes are better when they're allowed to stay outdoors.
I totally agree. That woman is honestly nuts. I feel so bad for those poor cats.
You know, I'm not even convinced that she thinks she's right. It's obviously more about her ego and her having a sense of control than it is about helping the cats. The cats don't mean anything to her, they're just objects. I mean, she literally used one as a hand towel. It's so sad :(
The part where she wiped off the food on the cats was so disturbing to me. It just says so much. I mean, who would do that? She's very unhygienic and just crazy! The part where she trapped the cat and then said she could see in their eyes after she traps them that they know they were saved... I see a very terrified cat whose life is about to change for the worse. Those poor cats living in cramped conditions, it must smell just awful. It's just horrible life for them. She clearly can't even think of what it's like for them. She just wants to keep collecting more. It is very selfish indeed!
Suchnothing ME TOO!!!! In the beginning I thought she was going to TNT them...but when she brought it HOME....i was yelling at the screen! How HORRIBLE!!
Not TNT ...TNR (trap neuter release).
My heart goes out to the 2nd lady. She lives for those cats.
" I'm not a cat lady" "And here is the box where I keep and their whiskers" Proceeds to use her cats whiskers as moustache.
Little too much haha
I had no idea that cats shed whiskers like that! I’ve never found my cat’s whiskers...
That's what I was thinking lol
haha
Oops I have that box also :D
The one lady with 152 cats pushed me over the edge. She is absolutely insane and should never be allowed to have that many cats. It looks like a lot of them are in cages. That's no way to treat a cat. Right after that scene, I switch to something else. I could not watch anymore of this insanity.
@Theresa: Me too! I had to change the channel. The cats that were behind that drawer (start of the video) acted as if they had been stuck there for days. They were frightened. I hope something has been done - cats don’t belong in cages!
Sorry but I do think you are wrong, her cats look healthy clean and well fed (at great cost to herself) and I'm sure if you went to any cat sanctuary which she is you would find a few cats in cages that are sick or need to settle in , would you prefer she left them in the cold to starve?
I have 1 cat for 11 years. Recently, just got a cat sitting gig. The lady has 6 cats in an apartment, the place smells like concentrated ammonia that I gagged repeatedly every few secs when I 1st arrived. People like that needs help.
@@macrick Having six cats won't make a person's residence smell that bad unless the person isn't properly caring for the litterboxes or they don't have enough litter boxes. In a household of six cats, there should be at least 7 litter boxes that should be thoroughly scooped daily. I have two cats and three litter boxes. If it appears that a fourth litter box is needed, then I'll add one. Depending on the type of litter, litter boxes should be sanitized and refreshed weekly to monthly. If the litter boxes are well maintained and it still smells, then there is at least one cat that is not using the litter box due to a health issue or a behavioral issue.
I agree. But when you think about it, the main problem in my opinion is that so many of these cats, have been left uncared for by previous owners. Haven't been neutered either so the result is a boom in stray cats.
Having several cats saved my life after my only child was killed. They gave me so much love and allowed me to love and care for them. As long as they are clean, healthy, and loved...why not?
Why was your child got killed? Care to share..?
They are so precious. I understand.
I’m sorry for your loss God bless you and yours
@@NetSkillNavigator
That’s kind of a rude question to ask
I say that it would be difficult to keep many cats clean. And difficult to love each and all equally. There would be some feeling left out grieving.
I loved the first lady, she seems to be such a sweet beautiful soul. The second is very funny. They are kind of lonely and sad but the cats help making their lives a little happier in my opinion. I think that they are very functional women who take good care of their animals, in opposite of the other two who cleary have a serious problem…
The second girl looks like Natalie Portman and has amazing dry humor. She deserves someone who loves cats just as much as she does!!
She's so pretty
I know she will find someone. It’s so sad she is willing to settle for JUST touch and not affection
Yes, especially in Garden State.
0:16 what?
Yeah, she’s honestly awesome and I was like, babe, are you online dating?
I understand the concern for taking care of these animals, but after getting too many of them it does more harm than it helps :( sad to see all those cats in cages
Putting cats in cages is a form of animal cruelty unless you're driving them to the vet or have them in the car for another reason.
Better safe and off the streets with no food and no medical attention or human interaction
The documentary is from 2009. I´m wondering how those women are doing now?
I bet they are still alone and as nuts as before, I would say.

@@qwertyqaz2227 Way lonelier. You don't seem to know how much love and comfort pets provide.
theres a line between having multiple cats and animal hoarding.
I'd have to agree. Somebody may be a very clean person but the house starts to smell bad with 10 of any animal. (Yet alone 20 or 30.)
*internal screaming* Definitely
Absolutely right
Totally agree
1 is fine, 2 is multiple, and 3 or over is hoarding cats.
That second lady absolutely broke my heart. I relate to her on a lot of levels. It sounds like she was a parentified eldest daughter and never really broke out of that. :(
If she goes both ways I would take her home with all her cats plus mine lol. I love her humor
I'm a 'crazy cat guy' because Ive taken two that my neighbor left behind when she moved, and I already had my 1. I have three and 1 outside that isn't mine that I watch out for. She belongs to some folks that live on the street behind me but they don't seem to care about her much. After I noticed they leave her out all night in the cold I built her a box and i run a little heat pad in there for her. But yeah, im called a 'crazy cat person' all the time for this.
Thank you for being a compassionate person. You're appreciated.

@@jerriecarpenter9025 Wow, that sounds quite an expensive rate in your Country. Your cat is very lucky and blessed to have you 😉 ❤️
It's amazing to me how many people, in 2019, do not spay and neuter their cats. And let them out and just don't care.
All my cats are neutered at 4 months old
I agree.
my friend and X-roommate didn't in the beginning. She ended up having about 7 when she had 2 in the beginning.
fix yourself first
For some, like us, it's about money. We have two we need to spay and we'll have to wait for next month and the month after to afford it. We keep the cats inside so they won't breed.
I have observed Cat obsessed people are usually very down to earth, honest, do not mask off their emotions, and enjoy their own company and most of them have had hard time adjusting with the pretentious society . This is why they might come across society as weird or out of the box. People do not appreciate those qualities. Sad in today's world that is why its hard to find a partner. And looking after cats give them a purpose , a comfort and knowing someone needs them. Its sad but sweet too.
if you don't do the same as everyone else in this society , as an individual should, considered crazy . Even if most are unhappy doing it. Unconscious living.
Having 100 cats wouldn't be the behavior result of a person that enjoys being in their own company
Very true!

Nooooo the woman with over 100 cats that just becomes abusive at that point because there is no way it is humane for over 100 cats to live in a single home. I doubt she can properly take care of all of them the way they need. They looked unkempt. This is an animal hoarding issue and illegal for her to own that many.
Hey Foodie Beauty. Is this really u? Fancy meeting u here👋😃
🤣🤣
It's insane
they replace a family with kids, with cats. i bet u would rather have kids and a family than your cats LOL
you help feral cats by vaccinating them, by sterilizing them, de-worming them, feeding them regularly and *NOT* by keeping them in a house with hundreds of other cats. No.
jana ktnc I agree with you.
Agree.
yea the lady with 100 cats was pushing it, but she gave her cats medical attention and kept her place relatively clean. Ziggy is not helping her cats.
Yes I agree with your statement 100% but I think something like this would be beneficial for every stray animal/ country, instead of killing them or just letting them reproduce, like it’s the case in so many countries
Exactly! They need to be taken away from her, sterilized and rehomed - or maybe given back to the owners she accidentally stole them from.
I give all these women respect. They have beautiful hearts for animals.
Yes i so much agree with you, They are highly respected
Do you own a cat your self if i may ask?

The lady with 123 cats needs to have a catio outdoors (a protective enclosure) so they can’t escape or be hurt. At the same time, I do hope she is on social media or local networks making sure she hasn’t “rescued” someone’s pet. I have a cat rescue and believe in TNR and take care of up to a dozen or so at a time.
Hello Mimi
That is a very nice and inteligent idea.
Do you own a cat you self? If i may ask.
The second woman is a TOTAL CATCH. I don't know her personally but she's funny and attractive. Shes right, she's not hurting anyone and the cats are well taken care of. I hope she finds her cat dad one day.
She also seems pretty sane. She is aware of her situation and is aware getting too many would be a bad idea. I also say this in the kindest way as I do believe the ones who claim to be rescuers have some insanity as they aren't able to care for them and find them homes. So they keep doing the same thing over and over again (catch a cat, house, and feed) and expect different results (rehoming and saving them). This lady doesn't have this mentality, she's clearly lonely yes but she's pretty and sweet and should be able to find herself a cat dad.
seriously I totally agree. She is smart, funny, pretty and has a lot of cats. who cares? she takes great care of them.
She seems to have a lot of good qualities based on this video.
Like a lot of us, she probably has to work through some personal issues with intimacy and forming healthy relationships that perhaps manifests in owning more cats than she HERSELF thinks is totally healthy (tbh it doesn't look outlandish to me given that she lives in a standalone house). She seems to have more than enough going on to have a decent amount of choice in men when she decides to genuinely look for a LTR.
She looks great for her age!

" I'm not on medicine. Any more."
She was sweet, sad and funny. I truly hope she finds what she needs.
Made me laugh out loud.
LMAO I loved her.
@@mistymorgan8068 Me too. I wonder If she realizes how many people really liked her.........
All these women are so caring & it’s clear they just have more empathy than most people but no humans to relate to.
I thought this would be a funny, light-hearted thing to watch. Now I am super depressed.
I want to show this to 20 year old feminists.
@The Left Over, what good would that do? I hate feminism with a passion but really don't see what these crazy cat hoarders have to do with you're average feminist normie.
Nunnuv Yorbizniz If a woman didn’t marry a man she will end up as a crazy cat lady, that’s what he’s trying to say.
@@Pentapus1024 Well......I mean, there is an archetype that has been successfully projected through media, popular opinion, and society in general. And that, reveals some solid objective realities. Women who are prissy, sensitive, overbearing, and dominant (or they try to assert dominance), seem to find themselves breast feeding cats while reading SImone de Beauvoir sipping latte expresses. however, attributing them all to the "left wing," reveals a severe lack of insight, ignorance, terrible personality, and overall wreck of a human being.
Cat ladies have that effect on people
P.S. My Ex hated cats, he tolerated them for me. He really was jealous of them. He also hated kids, glad we are not together anymore.
Sounds like he dodged a bullet. I hope that he's doing better, now that he's left you.
Good on you. A man who is jealous of objects a woman might nurture is himself in fact a child, only angry he can't get from you what he wants
Men who hate cats, i mean not just dislike but make a point to tell you that they HATE cats, can honestly not be trusted
@@soepsoep6445 Exactly. They 100% did something to a cat or cats trying to force them to love them or torturing them as kids do, cats hate them as a result, and they hate them back.
Yeah I had one of those. I'm glad I'm in a better place without him.
I noticed how she didn't bother to get any of these cats checked if they had a chip, or at least a facebook page for people that might own those cats...Just because its outside and a little dirty, doesn't mean it has no home. Cats can have huge territory, so its a possibility she could be abducting people's pets. Why my cats have collars and chips, you never know.
shes from montreal. huge street cat issue there.
Psycrow I wondered that too. People let their cats outside and they don’t have collars. It would be a shame to end up trapped in that house. Cats are territorial animals and suffer living confined with so many other cats
One of my cats has been missing for three weeks now, I have done everything I can to find him but no sign of him anywhere... There's a good chance that some crazy like that 'rescuer' has just stolen him off the street and not bothered to check that he has a home 😢 he is microchipped so any vet or shelter can get my details in minutes if anyone bothered to check
If u have a cat, let it roam and looked dirty and scraggly then you shouldn't have them
@@vapidmuse784 I guess all the dirty, scraggly children i see at the playground don't have homes, there is simply no other explanation for them being momentarily dirty and scraggly.
I feel much empathy for those womens. I wish them all the support, because besides the loneliness, they have to work a lot to feed and care. It’s so easy to call them crazy and turn around not helping.
I lost my orange tabby, Boots, to a “Rescuer” when I was in middle school.
Boots would walk me to the bus stop in the morning, wait with me, then be on his way as I got on the bus. He then did his morning rounds. As each neighbour got ready to leave for the day, he would visit them. Once he was done his morning rounds it was time to wait at the am kindergarteners bus stop and walk them home. Then he would wait for the pm Kindergartner to get on their bus. Once that was done, its time to visit all the housewives of the neighbourhood. Once that was all finished, it was about time for me to be back from school. He would be waiting at the bus stop for me and then walk me home. He would spend the rest of the afternoon and evening inside with my family.
For five years that was his routine. For five years we knew where he was every minute of every day. Then the “Resucer” in our neighbourhood moved in to a new, bigger house to rescue more cats. We have not seen him since.
Boots was a free kitten my sister got from South America that she just dropped on my mom and I. But we loved that cat. He would sleep in my bed, and make sure I woke up to eat when I was sick. He would let me dress him up in babydoll clothes and stroller him around with out a care in the world.
We should have known this was going to happen. The Rescuer was dropping hints that she was going to take him with her when she moved, but my family brushed them off as crude jokes. Once she moved Boots was gone and we didn’t know where the rescuer moved to so that we could get him back.
It has been almost 9 years since he was taken and I still miss my tabby.
WoW that is truly wretched :0/ what a creep
Im sorry for your loss.
happy you had that wonderful experience though.
I had a rag doll breed who only lived 9 years but all the cats in my family home growing up lived past 21 years of age so I had major hidden expectations & when he got cancer it almost killed me. To this day I will cry if I give it "too much" thought, it's been 10 years now
I figured out how to cherish the time I had & after that experience I really really understood that saying "Its better to have loved & lost than to never have loved at all"
OMG THAT PISSES ME OFF WTF 😳🤬😭 I'M SO SORRY 😭
@Shannon O'Rourke - It must've been heartbreaking when he went missing. What an awful, selfish thing for that neighbour to do. I'm sorry this was done to you and your family.
This is my biggest fear. I am so sorry for your loss.
i can't imagine something like that happening with my own orange tabby. i'd be so heartbroken ): the "rescuer" knew that he belonged to a loving home- they had no reason at all to take him from his love & happiness other than the fact that they're simply a greedy hoarder with no real regard for animals' feelings
I was like "fifty cats??" and she just kept counting...
Same. My jaw got closer to the floor the higher she counted.
RIGHT? !
Shuster Girl
Then the next lady comes on and puts her completely to shame!
@@elizabethshuster218 same here
Better than living with a narcissist. I choose cat any day
Lived it, FACT!
Heavens, yes!
Cats are the biggest narcissists lol I'm not a cat hater ,I have three but they are narcissists...I don't think you understand cats at all
Amen to that!
Deepthoughts Herenow . . . and YOU are 1 too!
This is a great video. The best part is seeing how much the interviewees BEAM when they talk about their cats. You can feel the love. Thanks for sharing!
My cats are my literal life. Without them, I would have been dead years ago. They love me unconditionally and have outlasted many of the people in my life. They don't hurt me on purpose to get a reaction out of me, like my abusive exes. I have 2 perfect cats, and they are my world.
Welcome to my life! My cats are always happy to see me, always want to be around me, when I & everyone else thinks I suck, it doesn’t matter because they love me. Outlasted soooo many people. They’re the best.
I bet those exes are crazy dog people.
I totally agree with you !!! My cats are my life, and such beautiful souls!!!
Same. Ur awesome ❤️
Same! I had a few abusive exes I've replaced with two neutered brown tabby male cats. 2 is the magic number, no more no less❤️.
I think this show is being judgemental of these women. Having three cats and being excited about their antics... there’s nothing wrong with that!
The three of them look sad or/and without many friends. These women deserve more love.
But its not just about 3 cats. Its about having more than someone can handle and cats need their own space in a house
You're a nut. Go to your safe space
It’s a bit demanding for their day to day life... “oh hey, can you watch my 16 cats while I go away on a vacation/ get married/visit a friend?” I can imagine the litter boxes are consistently full...

The second woman (who also had a dog) was very funny, and her cats were very affectionate with her. Her house also looked clean. The woman with over 170 cats seems seriously mentally ill, her house looked disgusting, and she doesn’t recognize that the majority of her cats, which were kept in cages (which makes me so angry), were running away from her and were clearly feral. That is NOT love for an animal.
aleister crowley I can totally agree with you there. And all these in the comment section who fail to see the in my opinion very obvious problem with the 150+ cats surprise me (not in a good way). Plus she probably takes away cats from their real owners as she takes every cat outside (who she claims to be neglected)... I mean the house looks awful, the cats don't seem to be taken very good care of and they seem feral as you said.
But the one with the 16 cats seems to have it really good under control. The cats seem very fine as does the dog and everything is clean
SilverMoonlight omg.. I bet you both are talking about this lady 38:20. "When you see the look on their face, literally the look of surprise that somebody cares about them." umm.. I think not! Yes, that is a look of panic and surprise, but it's more of a 'wtf just happened to me? how do I get free!' look, not 'wow, I hope my abductor is taking me to a happy home' look.
That trap cage.. its old and rusty.. clearly has sharp edges as she easily cut herself on it.. and you put a panicking cat in there.. not wrapped in a thick towel or similar. Did she not see the marks all over it's face and nose when she let it out of the trap and into the prison? I hope those marks were only rust rubbed off and not the cat's blood.
This woman needs a healthy reality check.
First and probably the only time I agree with Aleister Crowley.....Lord forgive me, haha.
I wasn't really watching when her story came up but went back to watch it after reading your comment and couldn't watch all of it cos it upset me so much. I'm passionate about cats and rescuing them but I don't keep the cats that I find and don't attempt to catch every cat I see roaming the streets. You have to be smart and have several boundaries with how much yo do, when rescuing any animal.
That woman needs to be stopped!
Cats are very territorial and need space. Hey poor cats must be so stressed out, and prone to physical and emotional ailments--very unhealthy situation.
God bless you, you wonderful, noble hearted, loving women. More people like you are needed to save not only the innocent helpless angel cats, but the whole world. Thank you for being who you are.
.....
How is it when someone has three dogs that’s normal but a woman with three cats is “a crazy cat lady”
I totally agrree. I know a lady that has 10 sick rescued dogs and she is not labelled crazy, nor is her husband although naturally these create a lot of work and expense
It would shock and upset me if a woman having 3 cats is termed that way, many people have 3-5 cats and are considered quite 'normal'...if that is even the right term. I have the greatest respect for people who give a good life and love to cats.
@@robertagiorgini8655 id actually eyebrow raise that like...how.....
Because they're collecting their cats' whiskers in a box. Lol.
My grandmother have 3 cats and 2 dogs,yet she is not a crazy cat lady,you know why? Because she didnt have a room full of cat pictures,and dont want to breastfeed them. They are just house animals for her,not babies and whatnot. I think that's the difference
