That's according to researchers at UCLA, who analyzed more than 500 pet owners and found nothing to support the long-held"crazy cat lady" stereotype.The study, published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, observed how people reacted to distress calls from animals and also compared pet ownership with mental health-related or social difficulties.
"'Mysterious power over humanity': How cats affect healthThe conclusion backs a similar finding by researchers at University College London, who said in 2017 that they found no link between cat ownership and the development of psychotic symptoms.The study also found that cat and dog owners are more likely to empathize with an animal's distress calls, with owners getting sadder than non-owners when they heard a cat meow or a dog whimper.
Most of my cats just showed up at my door and everyone eats, soooooo :))
This study has almost nothing to do with psychotic ladies who own several cats.
Did the study try to date any of them ?

What about crazy cat men
Says a study funded by crazy cat ladies.
Why spend money researching that
Because they don’t leave their house
Lol how much millions wasted on this crap
Well there goes my retirement plan
Do you think crazy cat ladies are going to participate in a research project? I don't think so.
Paid for by The Crazy Cat Ladies LLC.
Tuition increases 30%
Lived right next to one for ten years. Yes, they are definitely “a thing”.
Sounds like something a cat would say
You can’t expect crazy CA college students to be able to assess anyone’s sanity. You think crazy cat ladies think crazy cat ladies are crazy?
Riiiiiiigggghhht...
lmao is this the stupid shit that's getting funding? i really hope it was with tax dollars and cost 200k
Good to see CNN has finally found their niche
Really? Really? Are you f-ing kidding me. Lady in my neighborhood just died (RIP) with over 30 cats in her one bedroom apartment. Theory debunked
Uh, yeah they are. It’s just become more popular. I couldn’t stand to be in the same room with a co-worker who reeked of cat piss. Her cats peed in her closet. Gross.
Researchers at UCLA need to change their research methods. We all know crazy cat ladies exist.
Americans claim that NASA research is a waste of money.. but these type of studies do deserve all the money they need.. do we need more proof on how the American system is broken?
“Crazy cat ladies at college denounce actual facts about crazy cat ladies”
It's not a stereotype that references regular cat owners. It specifically references crazy ladies with many cats. If you don't even understand the premise of your research...
My school doing the inportant type of research smh
