In Defense of Single Women and Cats

[1]Have you been following the nasty story, gone viral, about a British woman caught on video throwing a cat in the trash? I will spare you the actual footage. After hearing about it, I stumbled onto this report [2] in which twice it’s mentioned that the perpetrator, Mary Bale, is unmarried. And, according to neighbors, she’s a recluse who doesn’t have a lot of visitors. I always thought that unmarried, reclusive women LOVE cats. There goes another stereotype.
