Animal hoarding is a real-life psychiatric problem. Although real life animal hoarders come in all ages, races, pet preferences, and sexes, animal hoarders in fiction are predominantly older white women with a fondness for cats. This person is invariably Better with Non-Human Company, except that instead of being an all-around Animal Lover, she usually only has an affinity with one specific type of animal, which will flock to her like moths to a flame. She lives alone (either because she couldn't get married or because she is a widow), except for the large number of cats or whatever animals living with her. She is often feared by the community and seen as an eccentric recluse. Sometimes she will turn out to be a Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold, leading to An Aesop about judging a book by its cover. This trope definitely seems skewed towards female characters, and can be read as an extension of the traditional negative characterisation of spinsters, especially when it's implied that the cats are a stand-in for human children that she never had before it was too late. Men, apart from an occasional trend toward living on a rooftop surrounded by pigeons, tend towards either more complete isolation or a more diversified set of friends. Male or female, however, animal hoarders tend to do a poor job of caring for their pets. Sanitation is often a nightmare: many of the animals die from malnourishment, and the owner themselves might die from related illnesses. In fact, the "Crazy" part of the trope is inspired by the existence of a real parasite called Toxoplasmosis. While the disease is known for infecting humans as the parasite is often contracted by mishandling cat feces, it's not fully proven if the parasite can affect a person's behavior in the same way it does for mice (their actual intended host, in humans, we're the "dead end"). In many cases, the parasite doesn't cause any serious problems unless you're really unlucky, and is thankfully treatable in all scenarios. Needless to say, the theories about the parasite itself causing schizophrenia and other abnormal behavior is what codified this trope. Conversely crazy men tend to hoard dogs, possibly related to Female Feline, Male Mutt. Three guesses who inherits the house when they go. See Kindhearted Cat Lover for examples when liking cats is not a symptom of being socially ineptnote And might in fact be a Hidden Depth. and Introverted Cat Person for cat lovers who are reclusive but not eccentric. See All Witches Have Cats, where the many cats are a sign of a magic caster. Generally not related to Cat Girl, outside of harem series; although the term may also refer to one with mental issues. |

The Felined Eccentric from Sunless Skies is an inversion - She's friendly and well adjusted, while the cats are crazy. She also desperately wants rid of them, but they refuse to leave her and always turn up again when she tries to ditch them. This is because they aren't actually cats but remnants of her old, malevolant personality that follow her. Her questline involves permanently ridding her of them. | |

Madame from The Aristocats is a mild example, being an old lady who owns a family of cats and makes them the beneficiaries of her will. One could argue that she goes full-on Crazy Cat Lady at the end of the film, when she decides to adopt all the stray cats in Paris. | |

On Gilmore Girls, Lorelai once fears that she might become a Crazy Cat Lady if she stays single and alone. She says that stray cats sense that and that they might be already getting ready to start coming to her door. One cat indeed does come and Lorelai brings it some food, but she shoos it away. | |

The Secret Life of Pets 2 sees Gidget the dog go undercover as a cat in a house filled with cats overseen by one of these. In the film's climax, she leads them all on a rescue mission with the other main characters to rescue a white tiger named Hu, with the cat lady proving that she Drives Like Crazy when the cats hide all the food to convince her to go on a pet store run. In the end, the cat lady adopts the tiger, believing him to simply be an overly large cat. | |

In an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Frank and Charlie start to realize Sweet Dee is turning into one. In Dee's defense, she only gets one cat and it is Charlie who bring in several more to her apartment in a failed attempt to get the first one. There's an almost literal example in Dennis' ex-wife Maureen Ponderosa, who not only loves cats, but also got plastic surgery to make herself look more like one on top of acting like one (hissing and clawing at people, for starters). |

When the titular male nurses show up to take Mrs. Petersen to the nursing home, she uses her cats to make an elaborate escape of her own similar to Carl's. | |

The Simpsons: The Crazy Cat Lady, seen up above and originally introduced in "Girly Edition", is the Trope Namer. If somebody approaches her house, she greets them with incomprehensible screams and thrown cats. Her real name is Eleanor Abernathy, and according to the episode "Springfield Up", she used to be a successful doctor and lawyer — until she suffered Genius Burnout around age 32, turned to alcohol, and sought emotional solace in her pet cats. A later episode, "A Midsummer's Nice Dream", reveals that her mental state is a result of compulsive hoarding and sees her (temporarily) cured. "The Blue and the Gray" has her meet a Spear Counterpart in the form of a Crazy Dog Man. They fall in love! One episode, "Lisa's First Word", shows a flashback of Homer and Marge house hunting, coming to a house that is filled with cats. They mention that it will be a nice house once the cats are out, and the real estate agent tells them that the former occupant's will specifically states that the house belongs to the cats, so they would technically be the landlords of the Simpson family. |

A male example: Will Graham in Hannibal shares his house with six (later seven) dogs but no humans, implicitly because he finds dogs much easier to get along with than people. They appear to be rescued strays, touching on Pet the Dog - his gentle and patient compassion for them shows that his blunt and slightly neurotic persona among people isn't indicative of an unpleasant nature, just social ineptitude. | |

Defied in the comic for "2011-11-07-2", where the budding crazy cat lady's son makes the cats collars that say facts about cats, and then gradually adjusts the facts to be less cute until she's turned off to cats. Now she's a dog person. |

Harry Potter: One of the Dursleys' neighbors (Arabella Figg) who they would sometimes leave him with was something of a crazy cat lady. Later in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, it's revealed she is a squib (a Muggle born into a Wizarding Family) and probably had a bit of Obfuscating Stupidity in her earlier behavior. Rowling has said that the reason she keeps so many cats is because she breeds them as familiars for wizards. She also has a few Kneazles (highly intelligent, cat-like magical creatures which can sense deception and breed with regular cats), and uses them as spies. Morfin Gaunt (Voldemort's uncle) could count as a crazy snake man. He treats his pet snake with more affection than his sister (not that that's hard) and nails one of its dead skins to the door to scare people off. Voldemort. He has only one live snake, but showers her with affection he wouldn't dream of showing to another human being, even going to far as to put part of his soul in her. That's not even going into the recurring snake motif associated with him... |

In the world of the SCP Foundation, the Tailor-Made Prison for SCP-511 requires that an old lady suffering from dementia play the role of a Crazy Cat Lady to a building full of feral cats, with said feral cats all being controlled by a cat shaped thing made from the decaying flesh of multiple dead cats. Since the family of such a woman would never let her live alone in a cat-infested buildingnote let alone live with the Frankensteinian-rotting-cat-zombie-thing, the Foundation kidnaps one from a hospice or nursing home when the previous Crazy Cat Lady dies and forces her to live there. The Foundation considers this to be a lesser evil than allowing SCP-511 to escape. In one of the many Bad Futures observed using SCP-2003, humanity becomes this, but for Brazilian Wandering Spiders, one of the species capable of causing us harm. This is due to a previously unknown protist that infects 85% of humanity, causing a Toxoplasmosis-like effect. The uninfected are detained and used as a food source for the spiders, while so many resources are devoted to breeding and preserving spider populations that society collapses. The resulting global crop failure results in a famine that kills 6 billion by the 2030s. |

Neon Genesis Evangelion. Dr Akagi's liking for cats is a subtle use of this trope, hinting (along with her post-it notes) that she's a Mad Scientist. Concept art for the Rebuild of Evangelion movies shows that Mari Illustrious Makinami was originally intended to be one of these, even having tattoos of her various cats. While this was removed in the finished movie, Mari is still very much crazy. |

Discworld: "Breaking out in chronic cats" is mentioned as a sign of senility in the novel Hogfather, when Susan discovers Death has taken in a vast number of cats as pets. Doubles as Kindhearted Cat Lover, as Death is friendly but socially confused when dealing with humans. Lady Sybil Vimes has her swamp dragons. Though this is mitigated by the fact that she a) is a swamp dragon breeder, b) has the money and space to adequately care for them, and c) is well-adjusted enough to eventually become happily married. In Pyramids, Pteppic's late mother was a Queen who kept dozens of cats. This wouldn't usually be a sign of craziness in a Fantasy Counterpart Culture of Ancient Egypt, except the cats she kept were mangy, spitting, flea-bitten ratbag moggies, not the regal and graceful creatures typically associated with Egyptian cat-worship. |

World of Warcraft: There's an NPC named Donni Anthania in Elwynn Forest, with the subtext <Crazy Cat Lady>. As expected, her house and the surrounding area is crawling with cats. She also sells cat pets to players. She seems like a fairly normal, generically attractive NPC... then you notice the bloody butcher knife in her hand. (Also, the descriptive text of the cats you can get from her is weird. The Cornish Rex cat claims Donni invites it to tea parties where the "tea" is the tears of defeated enemies, while the Bombay Cat's text says Donni plans to inter it with her when she dies.) There's Auriaya, product of someone in the Blizzard quarters who said "Hey, what if we pick a crazy cat lady, and make her a raid boss?" She also happens to be a giant, and thousands of years old. Her cats hurt. Characters can earn the title "Crazy Cat Lady/Man" by collecting 20 different pet cats, out of 25 available in the game. 4 of the 25, however, must either be acquired with real money and 1 was obtained through a 2012 promotion in China, so earning it with strictly in-game pets requires a perfect 20/20. |

She has collected a large number of alien experiments that, due to either poor eyesight or senility, she thinks are cats. Lilo and Stitch tried to remove them, but then decided against it when they realized Mrs. Hasagawa really did care for them and was taking care of them as well as anyone else could. | |

One of the Dursleys' neighbors (Arabella Figg) who they would sometimes leave him with was something of a crazy cat lady. Later in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, it's revealed she is a squib (a Muggle born into a Wizarding Family) and probably had a bit of Obfuscating Stupidity in her earlier behavior. Rowling has said that the reason she keeps so many cats is because she breeds them as familiars for wizards. She also has a few Kneazles (highly intelligent, cat-like magical creatures which can sense deception and breed with regular cats), and uses them as spies. | |

In Satisfactory, having a Lizard Doggo (something that looks like an unholy combination between a shrimp and a short-legged dog, and behaves like a dog) as a pet is actually a beneficial mechanic as the doggo will intermittently reward the player with power slugs and other raw materials. However some players take it to CCL level by building doggo farms and retrieving and penning up as many doggo they can find and "capture". Many "doggo ranchers" will have at least 50, one outlier had 112. | |

In Harriet the Spy, one of Harriet's spy targets is a very reclusive man with some twenty cats. He's constantly attempting to avoid Animal Control, who have him pegged as a hoarder although he clearly cares for the cats — they eat better than he does. By the end of the book, they catch him and take the cats away. He's despondent... until the last time we see him, when he's started over with one little kitten. | |

Although technically disqualified because he hoards so many different species, Raoul from UHF's "Raoul's Wild Kingdom" segments deserves honorary Crazy Cat Lady status for having dozens of exotic and wild animals living tucked into drawers, hidden in cupboards, and running/flying/crawling free in his apartment. He qualifies for the Crazy part based on the number of poodles he sacrifices out the window in teaching them to fly. They make a pile about 8 feet high, easily filling the trope, at least until they all die. | |

Wanted: Dead: Vivienne owns several cats, to the point she ran out of names for them and just started calling them by numbers, and they can be found all over the police station. The rest of Zombie Unit often make jokes about her cat obsession, with Herzog complaining that she always smells like cats' piss and Doc compares her to the The Simpsons Crazy Cat Lady. | |

The Forgotten Realms short story "The Inkeeper's Secret" by Troy Denning is set in a Cormyrean village that was once home to a Crazy Cat Lady. After she was accidentally killed by the villagers when they tried to get rid of the cats, she haunts the area as a vengeful spirit. She is eventually granted peace when Princess Tanalasta convinces the villagers to adopt the cats. | |

Katherine of Manwhores is an unusual version of this trope in that she is in her 20's and doesn't actually own any cats (being allergic.) This doesn't stop her from filling her house with cat posters, cat models, and cat movies filling her house — in addition to demanding to play with a cat toy to, um, get frisky. | |

Tales of Symphonia: One room in the Altamira hotel is teeming with ginger cats; it also contains one eccentric elderly man who says odd things when you talk to him. The Crazy Cat Old Man is a recurring Continuity Cameo in the Tales series going all the way back to Tales of Phantasia. He's in just about every game as a sort of an Easter Egg. Tales of Xillia 2 takes it a step further by having the player meet the crazy cat lady very early, but her cats are missing. Finding them constitutes a game-spanning sidequest. The ones that have been found are then utilized as a small army to find items and other cats, some of which can only be found this way. |

In the Phineas and Ferb episode "Road to Danville", Buford is surprised at how lame the title characters' idea of a quilt is. After Phineas says Buford does not have to hang out with them all the time, Buford awkwardly says that it's fine and he'll turn into a cat kid. Isabella asks what that is, and Buford says it is the "kid version of a cat lady". He attempts to make it not so awkward by saying, "Quick, someone say, 'Where's Perry'!" and Baljeet does so and Buford says, "You're always there for me, man." | |

The Sims 3 Pets exaggerates this trope with the character of Hetty Lionheart, who lives alone in a shack-like home in Appaloosa Plains in a household of four cats. Not only that, but she has the Insane, Hydrophobic, and Evil traits, dresses in cat-like clothing, and even resembles one in facial appearance. She's also disliked by most of the town, in addition. | |

A variation is used in Black Mirror: Striking Vipers. Karl living alone with a cat in the episode's ending seems to signify his letting himself go socially and physically and giving up on dating women in real life.

How to Train Your Dragon 2 - Hiccup's mother Valka is crazy dragon lady as she was described directly in the film (note also that here Dragons Are Catlike). So crazy that she abandoned her husband and her newborn son and never tried to return, though at first it could be difficult because she was kidnapped by dragons. Also, after twenty years among dragons and, rarely, hostile humans Valka's body language became a bit inhuman and she started to forget how to speak. | |

An episode of The King of Queens involves Doug and Carrie discussing a cousin of Doug's and his wife, whom they hadn't seen since their wedding. Doug explains it's because they're both rather eccentric, and Carrie remembers that they own several cats, and the wife calls them their children. A later scene in the episode hints that the woman might on some level actually think they're her biological offspring. | |

One segment of 1000 Ways to Die featured a Crazy Cat Lady who's husband divorced her due to her animal hoarding. Think that's bad enough? She is also nuts. She milks all of her cats daily and drinks the milk. She dies because her cats had been feeding on a plant that is toxic to humans but not to cats, so it went through the cats' systems and into the milk. | |

Jeeves and Wooster stories: It becomes necessary to make Sir Roderick Glossop believe that Bertie is insane. One of the methods by which this is accomplished is to make it look like he's some sort of Crazy Cat Gentleman. Note that this works especially well because Sir Roderick already knows that Bertie's Uncle Henry was a Crazy Rabbit Gentleman who kept eleven of them in his bedroom and spent his last days in an asylum, "happy to the last and completely surrounded by rabbits". Later, in "Without The Option", Bertie meets an actual Crazy Cat Lady, the Pringle's Aunt Jane. He's impersonating his friend Sippy at the time, and since Sippy shot arrows at one of Aunt Jane's cats when he was about six years old, Aunt Jane now is highly suspicious that Bertie wants to harm her cats. This causes problems, since Bertie really is something of a Kindhearted Cat Lover and Aunt Jane's cats take to him instinctively. |

In an episode of Hannah Montana Forever, Miley was busy dealing with the fallout of revealing herself as the titular idol singer to the world. Not wanting to deal with anymore negativity, she contemplated staying in her house with nothing but cats. Her friend Lily lampshaded this and resorted to dragging her out. | |

Cat Face: Cat Face is once forcibly imprisoned in a disgusting and cramped household full of cats owned by a demented cat lady who lured him in by bribing a female cat to woo him. Even when he escapes, she continues to chase him relentlessly until he locks her into a parallel dimension inhabited by his unfathomably creepy double, Face-cat. Face-cat floats towards her ominously, followed by the screen turning black and the Crazy Cat Lady's screams. | |

Touhou Project has Satori Komeiji, who lives alone in a huge underground palace with an army of crows and cats. Justified in that her ability to read minds means that she tends to attract a lot of animals who can't otherwise communicate with her. She's actually rather friendly, but has a habit of responding to what people are thinking rather than what they're saying, which causes people to avoid her. Some of her fans have done◊ up gag-art poking fun at this fact. | |

The young adult novel Jacob Have I Loved has a cat lady who's portrayed as mildly dotty. When she ends up in the hospital, the main characters must decide what to do with all of her cats. They consider drowning them, even going so far as to throw them all in sacks and take them out in a boat, but in the end can't go through with it. The solution they finally come up with is to drug the (rather vicious) cats with opiates so they seem meek and compliant, and convince several of the local residents that adopting a cat is a good idea. | |

Aramaki of 7 Seeds has a large number of dogs and is rather eccentric. Of course, the reason he's a little rusty on social interaction is that he was the only person in Japan who wasn't in cryostasis for the fifteen years before the other four teams woke up, and the dogs are actually very useful (hunting for food, keeping watch, and so on). Still, this trope is basically how Arashi, Natsu, and Semimaru perceive him when they meet. | |

The Alex counterpart is revealed to be one of these, a spinster who treats her pet cat like the child she never had, including making little outfits for him to wear. When she insults the Luke counterpart he calmly tells her "when you die your cat is going to eat you", to which the Hayley counterpart simply nods. | |

Drowtales: Mel'anarch, who is a younger character fitting this trope, replacing cats with spiders, including a giant one named Zhor that she had a child with, though that spider is in fact an elf himself who was altered into his current form. An example involving actual cats (here called ferals) is Ash'waren, the Sullisin'rune Ill'haress. After the timeskip she's shown to have several in her chambers, and her justified paranoia and distrust of her servants along with the implications that she has not been leaving her rooms put her here. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The trope is discussed by Rarity's friends in "Suited for Success" after she freaks out and refuses to leave her home due to a particularly ill-timed visit by a fashion critic. The Apples' cousin Goldie Delicious in "Pinkie Apple Pie" has an adult cheetah included in her horde of cats, and can be seen in a later episode adopting even more felines. Goldie even takes several of her cats with her on her trip to Las Pegasus in "Grannies Gone Wild". Fluttershy was well on her way to becoming one, with Rainbow Dash and Rarity her only real links to the larger Pony world, when Twilight Sparkle dropped into her life and recruited her into what amounts to her service. |

In The Bad Place, most of the main characters belong to the same Dysfunctional Family: their grandparents are brother and sister, their parent is a hermaphrodite who managed to impregnate herself several times. Two sisters in the youngest generation are identical twins who share a telepathic link with each other, as well as with any animal of their choice. They surround themselves with a flock of cats that they are permanently linked to. | |

An early season 2 episode of ER had the paramedics debate whether they could take in a man who was sitting around naked in his apartment while white rabbits scurried around his place. He was morbidly obese and singing a show-tune, but when they took him to hospital he panicked about who was going to feed his bunnies while he was in hospital. | |

A rare male example is one of the 15 Portraits of Despair in The Sandman (1989). A man accrues over sixty cats after a leg injury and is left with a Sadistic Choice when a job offer comes up: take the job and abandon his cats, or attempt to keep living on the meager disability payments. He takes the job, and only five cats are still alive when the police are inevitably called in. | |

The Cat Lady presents a more somber approach to the often eccentric but happy cat ladies present in the media. The game itself takes place after the suicide of the main character the cat lady, Susan Ashworth, a misanthropic and lonely woman. With many tragic events in her past driving her to clinical depression, worst of which was the death of her baby girl due to her negligence and the suicide of her husband that followed, she finally decided to end her suffering and drank all 32 of her sleeping pills. But, she was not meant to die. | |

Warrior Cats: Millie and Sol's owners, both elderly women, are portrayed as this in the manga - not so much due to the number of cats, because as far as we know they each only have one, but because of the level of obsession. Millie's owner has cat toys everywhere, as well as a custom cat bed with Millie's name, cat pictures on the wall, and a cat calendar and refrigerator magnets. Sol's owner also has cat pictures and decorations around her home, as well as sofa cushions with a cat design, and a subscription to Cat Fancy. In Pebbleshine's Kits, Pebbleshine encounters two young kittypets who know of a lady a few houses down from them who has many cats, and they're sure that she'd take Pebbleshine in if she's looking for a home. Graystripe's Vow has a much more tragic portrayal of this trope; the elderly cat hoarder in question is implied to have Alzheimer's or a similar mental condition, and both she and the cats are living in very poor conditions. Fortunately by the end of the book, the cats escape and she's discovered by other humans who set up care for her. |

Lampshaded in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend with the song "Buttload of Cats" (or, in uncensored form, "Fuckload of Cats"), in which Rebecca decides that since she's trying to avoid relationships due to her mental health recovery, that means she has no choice but to adopt a bunch of cats. The song then points out that cats, being generally independent and inscrutable, might not actually be the best choice for a lonely person, and subverts the trope at the end when the two crazy cat ladies in the adoption shop bond over their mutual cat love and leave holding hands (to Rebecca's deep frustration). | |

How I Met Your Mother: Robin leans on this trope as she has five mostly big dogs in a small apartment in Brooklyn. In one episode, she's tells Lily's kindergarteners about her job. The kids ask her if she has fiancé or if she doesn't get lonely. A little girl compares her to her grandma who has five cats and does get lonely. Robin insists that cats are completely different and that she's not some pathetic cat lady. One of Ted's numerous dates is a woman who talks about her several cats on their first date and reveals that she likes dressing them up in costumes and taking pictures. She's actually more of an awkward Kindhearted Cat Lover. She has other interests, too, and is not a lonely wierdo. |

Then it turns out she's actually a troll, and the cats are lunch. Hellboy does not take it well. For that matter, Hellboy himself has a very large collection of adopted cats, and interior shots of his room is accompanied by a lot of meowing. He's a bit of a slob, but he nonetheless takes very good care of them. When Liz returns to the B.P.R.D. in the first film, her first comment upon visiting HB in his room is "Look at them all!" |

In the second half of the Season Four two parter of Night Court, we see judge Harry Stone trying to comfort his frenemy assistant DA Dan Fielding, who is recovering from a recent coma. Dan laments that the circumstances that led up to him being in said coma include his overriding fear of dying surrounded by a hundred cats. | |
