Nat Geo WILD will air a special called “The Lady With 700 Cats” on July 30th — a Saturday night, because that’s prime TV-watching time for single people who own cats. The program is narrated by Jane Lynch and focuses on Lynea Lattanzio, who runs California’s largest cat sanctuary. From press materials:
Her own cat was all she wanted as a little girl. Her mother said, “No.” Now she has more than 700.
“I bet she’s sorry now!” says Lynea Lattanzio, referring to her mother’s forbiddance of felines in the house. Founder and owner of California’s largest no-cage, no-kill cat sanctuary, Lattanzio lives with more than 700 cats.
I’ve got two preview videos below, and the images are staggering. SO. MANY. CATS. Boxes of kittens, old pissed-off cats, a constant soundtrack of mewling — as someone who’s allergic to cats, I have trouble breathing just watching it. However, as someone who works on the Internet, I can tell that this is gold, Jerry, GOLD! *puts on LMFAO with Lil Jon* CATS! CATS! CATS CATS CATS! CATS! CATS! CATS CATS CATS! CATS!
As you might assume about a woman with 700 cats, Lynea doesn’t have a family. And though her people skills aren’t terrific (as seen in the video below), she does seem to be the least crazy of the crazy cat ladies I’ve seen.
WARNING: The second video’s kind of a downer. Worth watching for the kitten CPR, though.

Nice to see someone setting the bar higher. America; yeah, we’ve got cat ladies.
That place must smell awesome.
that one large pussy fest goin on there.
Why? Why did I watch the kitten CPR video at work?!
This story reminds me of the time I found that magic lamp and told the genie that I wanted to be “knee deep in pussy.”
There will be animated gifs, oh yes, there will be.

I can’t see the video at work, but I’m gonna assume that there’s no mention of her having a significant other at all.
I was going to post an amazing joke AND pun about pussies but the pure genius and awful language skills of OrangeRush2112 beat me to it. Well done, well done. You may not speak English, but your comedic genius and penchant to post the most obvious thing of all time can never be questioned.
Needs more cats covering their eyes with paws.
By the way, nice call having Jane Lynch narrate. We know she loves the pussy.

Makes me hungry for Kung Pao chicken.
I wonder how long a mouse would last in that house
they should make this a reality show. call it… Cat Wars.
Patty?
For some reason I could not stop laughing when I saw the basset hound.
@Aeyo’s Cot “Makes me hungry for Kung Pao chicken.”
Dontcha mean: ‘Makes me hungry for Kung Pao “chicken”.’
Kudos to her! If America would take care of her pets, the Lady with 700 cats wouldn’t be needed!
