The quote says, "Three cats is a cat lady," and it is attributed to Taylor Swift. From left to right, the cats pictured are Toothless (a black at laying on his side with 3 glittery gold Christmas ornaments beside him), Minnie (a fat brown tabby cat wearing a purple flower Halloween costume around her neck while sitting on a light pink bed spread), and Beanie (a tortoiseshell kitten laying on her side on the top round platform of a taupe colored cat tree; she is small enough to fit on the platform with room to spare) plain 2022-12-07T11:41:27-08:00 Katie Cline 512add1943f75cbd770d4788dcdea90b706922c4This page is referenced by:

I am a Ph.D. student in American Culture Studies at Bowling Green State University (approximate graduation Spring 2026). My research interests broadly include gender representation in young adult literature, TV, and popular music. My previous research has explored the gendered relationship between cats and women in Harry Potter, the depiction of female characters in Jim Kay's illustrated Harry Potter books, Hilda Spellman’s domesticity as a source of power in Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018-2020), and the significance of driving allusions in the music of Taylor Swift.
Feel free to view some of my past work below:- "Recoding It All Too Well: Swifties, Parasocial Relationships, and the Scarf that Broke the Internet" (YASA 2022)
- "'I'll drive': Freedom and Driving in the Lyrics of Taylor Swift" (PCA/ACA 2022)
- "Hilda Spellman's Empowering Domesticity in Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" (YASA 2020)
- "The Bigger Picture: The Representation of Female Characters in Jim Kay's Illustrated Harry Potter Books" (ChLA 2021)
- "The Bigger Picture" was also published in the Winter 2020 issue of the Journal of Fantasy and Fan Cultures. You can view the full article for free here.
I completed my M.A. in English with a concentration in Children’s Literature at Kansas State University in May 2020 and hold a B.A. in English (‘18) from Jacksonville State University (Jacksonville, AL). My 3 cats–Toothless, Minnie, and Beanie–say hi!
