Everybody remembers that infamous cat lady on The Simpson. The crazy cat lady was the one covered with felines, incapable of uttering a comprehensible sentence and, when angered, furiously threw cats at whatever crossed her path. But in all seriousness, who would take on the laborious task of nurturing several felines by themselves? Some people actually do.

There is a stigma against single women over the age of 35 who have never been married. But once these women purchase a cat, do they inherently become crazy cat ladies? Not quite! Here's how you can you tell if you are becoming a crazy cat lady?

If you do not disclose to your colleagues that Fred, Eddy, Pierre or Polly is a feline, you might just be a crazy cat lady. There's nothing worse than conversing with a person who names her feline friends by their first names. We understand that you built some awkward relationship with the animal; but, when talking about him on the first name basis in a husband/boyfriend/child-story kind a way makes you weird. Also, combining your cats name with your last name throws you, almost automatically, into the crazy-cat-lady category. We can understand that your cat is part of your family but no where did you marry or conceive the animal therefore, he shouldn't be carrying your last name. Also, talking about the funny story Fred/Eddy/Pierre or Polly told you makes you just plain crazy. Speaking cat is not cool! More people would be impressed if you spoke Pig-Latin for a whole hour.

I am a big fan of the show The Office. In one episode, Angela, an accountant and a crazy cat lady, sets up a web-cam so that she can watch over her cats. One, if you have a web-cam to watch over your cats while you are gone, you are becoming a crazy cat lady!

Angela has posters of cats in her cubicle. Two, if you have posters (more than 2) of cats, your taking your obsession to another level; you are becoming a crazy cat lady!

Three, if you clean your furry friend with your own tongue, which Angela did after noticing that her cat was being molested by another feline through her web-cam, you are becoming a crazy cat lady!

Spending time with your feline friend is one thing. Taking days-off of work to take care of it and taking it out for lunch dangerously hits that crazy cat lady territory. We can understand if you want to spend some time with the furry thing, but once you comprise your life and possibly a pay-check, how can you not be considered a crazy cat
