Young girls are kittens in search of cougars. Old lionesses decorate their dens. If you're freespirited in a career that requires more logic than nurturance, you're a wildcat. An ambitious woman grows into a bobcat, but a tricky woman becomes a jaguar. Child-rearing ends with the empty litter box syndrome.

Divorced women are expected to land on their paws after a leap of faith onto the ledge of leadership. They can straddle a thin fence in the dark to make ends meet. Husbands at home are hissed more than they're licked. Runaway wives have flown the den, while tomcats always are on the prowl for puss. The objects of affection are kittenish.
