Crazy Cat Lady Syndrome: Separating Fact from Fiction (Ep 24)

You're likely familiar with the pop-culture term "Crazy Cat Lady Syndrome," often used humorously to describe individuals, mostly women, who are passionate about cats and have a substantial feline entourage. While it may conjure up visions of cat-filled homes and quirky behavior, it's worth exploring the origins and accuracy of this term, along with what nursing students should be aware of.
