Ballad of a Cat Lady - Comments

This is incredibly adorable ! :) I love cats too so i can easily relate to becoming a crazy old cat lady ahaha they are so friendly and are very sweet companions to have. I'm deffinatly a cat person as much as i love dogs too lol

I absolutely adore this! First off, the layout and the banner/picture/ epitome of adorability is entirely and undeniably adorable; i’m not a cat person either so I was really hesitant at first but I actually really really really loved it! It was perfectly sweet and quirky and intriguing and most importantly, it was 100 percent relatable. That’s a really big thing for me when i’m reading something- that i’m actually able to relate to not only the characters, human or non-human, but to the subject matter itself, and you’ve hit that nail right on the head with me. Also, I think that it IS something which every girl goes through during at least one point of their life, regardless of whether they like cats or, like me, are absolutely terrified of them. Being a cat lady and feeling like one is more than just a love of cats, sometimes the cat is actually completely irrelevant – the point i’m trying to make here is that everyone feels lonely at times, some more than others and some less than others. That’s what makes us human, we FEEL hurt and betrayed and lonely and sad and most importantly of all, we crave that companionship and comfort which can only be sought in something or someone warm and cuddly.

This is short yet somehow, I find this highly amusing (:
I like the part that goes 'I'll have to change the lyrics to that and extend it just a bit to remember the names of my animals'.

I'm not a fan of reading stories from a first person's POV but this is a fine exception & I hope you'd keep on writing more! (:

[p.s. the picture is adorable ]

This was oddly funny and very witty. I liked that you gave a background as to why she thought she would become a cat lady.

This line: " It’s happened many times before, so what’s new with him?" felt weird to me. The "what's new" part doesn't really make sense.

I entirely, enthusiastically, thoroughly enjoyed this. I look forward to more from you later on. And the Rudolph reference? It makes me smile. I read this while next to my friend who thought Rudolph only had one eye, so when I referenced it to cats, it reminded me of my stepfather's uncle's dog. It only has one eye, so I every time I saw it, I pointed out it needed an eye patch; which makes me like this story that much better.

Good luck in all writing from now on.

I really like this. It's well written, and very interesting. I can actually relate to this, is that bad?
I absolutely love the Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer reference at the end! It made me smile. And the layout is so pretty. Maybe go into a bit more detail on the actual main character? Her personality and such. Keep writing, please. This is really good.

I love the Christmas song reference at the end. I can say that I already want to read more. The layout is really nice as well.

Well I thought the summary was very well written. However this story just isn't my cup of tea. But then again there is only one chapter to judge it off of. So I can't give really give a very good comment on the plot. But your grammar and vocabulary is very good.
I love the picture, it's so adorable. I love cats, I actually have four, even though I'm allergic. lol.
But I like the idea that she fears dying alone. It almost make sthink of The Buried Life. Ok, maybe it's cause I read their book today, and everything reminds me of them. lol But it does give you the idea, what do you want to do before you die?

Aww, I really like your picture with the cat reaching up to the counter! And I totally understand your saying, “Its hard to imagine yourself dying alone. A scary thought really, to believe whole-heartedly that your only true companion in life is a furry four-legged creature that can't even talk.” My best friend/baby/little gentleman IS my cat.

HAHAHA!!! I loved your first chapter! I think you are the first person to have written something I liked. Maybe because it’s about cats. I’m not crazy about them, but sometimes I say I’m going to be that crazy cat lady (or maybe the crazy cat lady off of the Simpsons).

I have the same problem with men. And I feel ugly and fat because I find no one and it seems they always go for the “pretty girl”. And that’s why you don’t see me writing about the “pretty girl”. I always write about the average girl, or the chubbier girl.

It’s really sad seeing the person you like fall in love with someone else, and even see love all around you and wonder why you don’t have it.

I’ve had situations where the guy I liked only saw the girl he liked… and she was pretty. It sucks having to look up to someone who’s prettier than you for the same guy.

“I will be that old lady who never loved, never felt, and never was loved.” I feel this is me too.

You know, if you like stories with cats in them, in my sci-fi, “No Ordinary Life” I have a cat in that story. It actually helps the story move along, and it makes situations, awkward, gross, funny, and adorable!

So far so good! You know, I think I might subscribe just so I can see what else happens.

I’m going to die alone. It’s official; I will be that crazy old lady with the fifty cats running wild in my house alleviating where ever they please. <--- This sentence relates to my life so much right now and I love this introductory chapter. It short and gives us an outlook into her brain, I like the way she thinks on and on just like I do and the writing is very original even though its a common cliche we all think of. All in all I cannot wait for more chapters!

Wow, I was just testing something on Mibba randomly and it recommended me this story. I must say that this was not what I was expecting.

I can relate so much to it that it's scary. And...It's beautiful.

Is it sad that my first thought was I want a kitty named Winston? Oh well, it doesn't matter. This story made a smile appear on my face in a flash. I've read all sorts of stories on mibba about the tall girl, the short girl, the skinny girl, the fat girl, and even the bi-curious girl but NEVER have I ever read a story about the cat girl. I say cat girl because I believe you're writing about someone between the age of 16-25 as most people do. I love this, how she's so ready to give up on the love life that she never even had. It's so amusing to me, really. I don't think it should be this amusing it's just, I know a cat lad ^_^

I love the layout. It's so cute and I think it fits the story absolutely perfectly.
The summary is short and sweet; not giving too much away (really good, considering that this is a drabble), yet it isn't too short.
The drabble itself was very... Cute also. I get that she's alone and everything, but her relationship with her cats sounds like a very adorable one. And how she changes the lyrics to the Reindeer song. Just so great. Very original.
Great job.

This was absolutely precious. I loved the layout and the story itself. I agree, though. It would be nice to see her run into her 'forever alone' soulmate. :)

First off, I love the the layout. Absolutely perfect for this story. The background makes me think of old wallpaper and the black and white photo just amplifies that.

That was awesome. You made it seem real, as if you yourself were telling the story. The last bit about the Christmas song, I cracked up, it made me laugh, which is good, because the beginning and middle I felt to sad for her, but the end, was a bit like dark humor, it was probably meant to add to the sadness of the story, but it lifted the story a bit, by being humorous. Unless that was just me. But that's how I read it and I loved it. You did a great job.

You're spelling and grammar were amazing as well. Good Job!!

:3 Adorable-ness. But I kinda want to see the narrator run into her Forever Alone boy :)
