What is it about cats that makes them synonymous with crazy? Is it their aloofness or their murderous tendencies? Is it merely because of the alliteration? The term “Crazy Cat Lady” rolls off the tongue while “Crazy Dog Woman” or “Crazy Gerbil Guy” aren’t even things. Well, the gerbil guy may be a thing, but we’re too afraid to Google it.
We’ve had our own run-ins with cat craziness. Heck, Erin can’t even keep the cats in her house straight. She had an imposter living with her for a while. Wait, does that qualify her as a Crazy Cat Lady or just crazy?
Either way, that story is not as crazy as some of the cat inspired items you can find on our pal Pinterest.
1. Let’s start with the cat crap.
We know people live in small spaces and want to hide the litter box, but this is how we see this one playing out . . .
Imagine a Norman Rockwell perfect holiday. Everyone has feasted and now the family has settled down to play Scrabble, but wait, there is a dispute over the word “scurrilities.” You, the host, jauntily proclaim, ” I cry foul! Spellcheck doesn’t even recognize . . . FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, AUNT LINDA, THERE IS NO DICTIONARY IN THAT CABINET! Put on your glasses!”

2. You need a sharp pencil to keep score.
After almost grabbing a handful of litter box party favors, imagine the hoot Aunt Linda will get when you send her to sharpen her pencil in this gem.

3. Tastefulness is key when decorating.
No one likes potty humor? Tell that to the whoopie cushion industry, but we can’t guarantee Aunt Linda will understand.

4. Continuing with the “Steal Your Soul” sub-theme.
Any ol’ (crazy) person can decorate in a cat theme, but it is the true genius who weaves a subtle sub-theme, drawing you in with its complexity. What would go better with the above demonic cat toilet seat than a Stepford Cat toilet brush holder?

5. Taking it to the next level.
Anybody with money to burn can buy cat themed items, but those dedicated to their decorating make their own accessories USING CAT HAIR. Imagine the chuckles “Allergic to Cats Aunt Linda” will enjoy when you tell her, “Sure I have Benadryl. It must be hard to see with your eyes swelling up like that, but it’s in the little box on the back of the toilet.” Wink, wink.

6. Maybe you should issue a warning.
If you had this doormat, maybe everyone wouldn’t be buggin’ that Aunt Linda’s trip to the ER was all your fault. Were you really to blame that she forgot her EpiPen?

7. Take your show on the road.
Maybe the problem is you’ve been hiding your light under a bushel basket. Let the world know you love cats and tell the haters to stop their wheezin’. This accessory would pump up the “Meow Factor” of any outfit.

8. Hold the phone!
The secret is it’s fake! But imagine the conversations you could start with this purse! You might even get your very own personal phone call from Sarah McLachlan.

9. When subtle isn’t enough.
May we suggest the Crazy Cat Lady uniform?

10. We feel like that outfit is missing something.
Fill in your own jokes, but don’t write them in the comments. Our kids read this blog.

Finally, Aunt Linda’s Revenge . . .
This is the only gift she’ll be giving you next year.

I see your cat craziness and raise you level.. behold a book.. 101 uses for a dead cat Which I will tell you I read over and over and allowed my oldest 2 to be exposed to its greatness. This guy cracked me up.. of course I am a little on the weird side. Keep in mind I own 2 cats..
The only thing that would have made your #1 any better would be if that cat came out of that cabinet with a newspaper in its claw. Funny stuff!
Oh. My. Gosh. Where DO you find this stuff??!!! Wow is all I can say, and totally entertaining as always!!

Who are people? Seriously. It’s ok to love your pet. Just don’t LOVE your pet.

My husband says it’s the best thing he’s ever seen. Plus it’s yet another way we can abuse the cat.
So, buh-bye, $35 in my wallet.

I can’t unsee this. Particularly the entire crazy cat lady ensemble. AND, the stuffed cat purse. But, I laughed the entire time I was reading this post, so, even though I need to have eye replacement surgery, this was worth it.

Number 5 is just too much. Seriously now, boxes made of cat hair? I have a sudden urge to call the SPCA.
You’ll need to do a part 2 for this blog. It was great!

I particularly like “When subtle isn’t enough.” And I’ve seen a lot of crazy things in this world but crap made OUT of cat hair has gone too far.
