I got two cats the year I turned 23…
November 6, 2009 at 1:21 pm
You girls are too young for old lady behaviour! Though cats are cute. But seriously! You’re 30! No need to freak out about age :) I personally am excited to enter my 30s– 30-year-olds are so hot these days!
Signed,
A 25-year-old

I made the cat comment in jest to her and this was her smart arse reply:). I love being 30 and I don’t think having cats makes you old in any way shape or form.
and in defense of me and my friend, it was Halloween, which i despise, and it was after a long day of shopping on the Mag Mile.

I am a young, unmarried elementary school teacher. At the beginning of the year, when we introduce ourselves, I always mention having a cat, but I don’t say anything about boyfriend/roommates/etc. They always ask at some point.
Best response from this year’s batch of kids:
Girls in class: “Miss W, do you have a husband?”
“Well, no, that’s what it means when you call me Miss.”
Boy from class: “Yeah, and DUH, that’s why she has the CAT.”
