Pets

like your neighborhood, and to the cats themselves... but also by having people lump genders, etc., into one pile and making far-reaching comments about the whole pile. While it took a few years and a specific cat, to melt my hubby's heart, I'd take a male who fit the bill anyday. That gives me an idea of who he is at heart. And I have met a few of them with more cats than I had at the time. But men seem to get cut a lot of slack over a lot of things... maybe because they generally die earlier than women, or because their wife has died and the bounty of critters are their comfort. It's not always "old ladies" and I really do take umbrage at the distinction. I see a lot of "old lady" stuff being thrown around... not just in your comments... but, unless we're talking about Biden or SCOTUS, not a whole lot of "old men" stuff. And I could give you a long, long list of "old men" stuff...! Enough of the umbrage or feeling bad because I'm an "old lady"... I don't lump in with anyone.
