With that dress in 1890, it seems she had the wherewithal and independence to have all the cats she wanted.

Kate Birdsall Roberts had her beat, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Wife%27s_Lovers (I went looking and the only pictures I could find of Kate show her much more simply dressed than OP's cat lady.)
