“Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.” Robert A. Heinlein
Photographer BriAnne Wills is a cat person, through and through. And with this photo project, she is a cat person on a mission.
“In this photo series I wanted to capture the sweet bond that exists between women and their feline friends. Also, I wanted to show that cat ladies are not crazy, but cute and stylish.”
Though it’s not mentioned in her mission statement, I noticed that all the cats Wills features are rescues, and there’s no missing their close relationships with the “girls” who love them. What a ringing endorsement for cat adoption!
As the project has progressed, Wills has begun sharing stories to go along with the cat & lady photos. As much as I enjoyed the photos, I think the stories are my favorite part of the whole thing.
You can see all the wonderful photos and stories on the Girls and Their Cats Tumblr and on Instagram.

I kinda wish some of my out side cats were good for inside. but no…all they are interested in is food time. Babe, the ‘bad’ dog probably wouldn’t like an inside cat anyway.

I consider myself something of an inside cat. Babe sounds like a hoot. Maybe you should get her a kitten.

That seems about right. Sound and fury, signifying nothing.

These are great photos. Although I do also love dogs, I am definitely a cat person. A couple of these photos made me think of my two.

I also love dogs but am pretty much Team Cat. I thought the pictures were very sweet (and very New York)

Nigel, Sophie, and I all approve of this message. In fact, Nigel is purring and lying on top of my arm while I type; it’s possible my arm will soon stop functioning.

Ha. I remember those days. Perhaps Nigel would be willing to act as your arm.

Love this. Heinlein was a bit of a sexist, no?

Absolutely, like so many of the sci fi writers I grew up loving, but he certainly was a talented one.
