Injured cat gets rescued by wholesome hooman who already owns 5 cats, her boyfriend voices concern and envy over the 6 cats: 'Are the cats more important than me?'

We're all familiar with the stereotype of the crazy cat lady. She's unmarried, lives alone, may spend a little bit too much time alone, and she has way too many cats. How many is too many? In the story below, the protagonist's girlfriend has 6 cats. Yes, 6 cats. Too many? Let's unpack the story. The protagonist is a guy who's dating a 27-yearpold woman who already has 5 cats. She works as a waitress and doesn't have a ton of funds for cats. Her boyfriend is worried for several reasons. He doesn't like to see that her "rescuer" instinct is this drastic, as well as feeling like she's devoting a little too much of her time, attention, money, and sanity to the cats.

He even asks her if she cares more about her cats than she cares about him, and she says she chooses the cats. He wonders how far things will go after she adopts a 6th cat, and if she will eventually adopt much more.

The crazy cat lady stereotype is really real. I had a friend who was basically the epitome of the crazy cat lady. She was older than me, she lived with 10 cats, I kid you not. That's getting to be a concerning number.
