Types of Women – Housecat
My good friend in the entertainment industry, Smokin’ Buddy Kev, actually coined the term “housecat” (as it applies to women) during a telephone conversation I was having with him about my current girlfriend. Kev had called me at home around lunchtime on a handful of occasions, and each time I told him that I needed to keep my voice down because the little woman was sleeping. Kev finally asked me after pointing out that it was after 12:00 noon – “Did you marry a housecat?” After I stopped laughing, and several hours later, I realized that in a certain sense I am actually dating a housecat … but not an actual cat, rather a particular type of woman! After recognizing this, I thought more about it – and I could point to several of my friends who also live with housecat women … although some of these women are more extreme housecats than others.

Okay – so the definition of a “housecat” type of woman that I have settled on is: any woman who spends a significant amount of her time at home, sleeping, watching TV, doing home-related chores, or doing nothing at all. There are different degrees of being a “housecat”. For example, my current girlfriend works full-time – but because she is a teacher, has periods of time when she is not working for weeks … and during those weeks, she often sleeps in until 1:00 p.m. She is also very organized around our home – she keeps everything picked up, cleans and dusts a lot, and enjoys watching TV. Compared to the average woman, in my opinion she spends about twice as much time at home. None of this is bad or negative – I love this woman, and I would not change a thing about her. She is not out partying, or doing anything bad … she is just a little more of a home-body. And I think that is just fine.

Another example is a woman named Karen who lives with my friend, Ronnie. Karen has lived with Ronnie for two years or so, and I do not think she has ever held one job for more than two months. She seems to prefer sitting at home, watching TV, smoking cigarettes, and chatting with her girlfriends. Ronnie seems happy with this, and she also seems happy – so I am not criticizing … rather I am pointing out that she is also a “housecat”, but a more extreme type than the woman that I am living with.

You as a midlife bachelor need to decide if you like the housecat type of woman. The upside to dating a housecat is that your house will likely be cleaner and tidier than it would otherwise (assuming she is not a LAZY HOUSECAT – ha!). You will also have more companionship than you otherwise might. But if you like an independent woman who goes out, and makes things happen – then a housecat woman is probably not the right fit for you.
