About This Quiz

As far as we're concerned, there's nothing wrong with being a crazy cat lady. Who couldn't love those furry faces and intelligent brains? If you've ever thought you might be on your way to being a card-carrying member of the crazy cat lady club, this is the quiz for you. We'll be sure to let you know if you've managed to earn your merit or if you still have a little way to go.

Every day is filled with scooping the litter box and picking up things that have been knocked over by a playful feline.
