Strong, independent women of New York and their mustachioed companions

If you think that a single cat lady is necessarily a crazy lady who values her mustachioed friends above everyone else, then you are mistaken. Of course, there are exceptions, but in general, women get cats because they just like them. That's all. And these photos from New York prove that having one or more cats at home is not yet a sentence of loneliness for a woman. The connection between the hostesses and their four-legged mustachioed pets is felt even through the monitor.
