This trope has been used quite often in films and books, which is why everyone knows exactly what you’re talking about when you say “an old cat lady”.
This kid’s Mom helped her create the iconic cat lady look, from the pink robe, the ‘70s grandma glasses, and, of course, the many cats hanging on her as she opens her arms in awe of the world.

He has a sign around his neck that says “SORRY,” making the joke quite obvious after about 5 seconds of attempting to figure out the meaning behind the outfit. Awesome Halloween Costume Rating: 1 play on word jokes out of 10.
