“Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.” Robert A. Heinlein

1/22/19: 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.
