Tue Sep 10 17:22:00 UTC 2024: ## Oprah Sends Flowers and Cat Toys to Viral “Childless Cat Lady”
**Maryland Democrat Teresa Woorman, who went viral after cameras at the Democratic National Convention inexplicably cut to her while Oprah Winfrey was discussing “childless cat ladies,” has received a thoughtful gift from the media personality.**
Woorman, who embraces the title and frequently posts pictures of her cats, Snow White and Oscar, received a bouquet of pastel flowers and a large basket of cat toys, wrapped in a blue bow with cats printed on it.
The gesture came after Winfrey, during her DNC speech, made the now-infamous comment, “And if the place happens to belong to a childless cat lady, well, we try to get that cat out, too.” The camera then switched from Winfrey to Woorman, sparking online attention and creating a humorous connection between the two women.
“Feeling so blessed and humbled!” Woorman wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, expressing her gratitude for the gift. “Thank you, @Oprah, for this stunning flower arrangement and basket of cat toys for my cats!”
Oprah also sent a personal note to Woorman, saying, “Thank you for rising to this moment with grace and humor. Enclosed are some treats for you and your cherished cats to enjoy.”
The viral moment also served as a platform for Woorman to promote her political stance, as she declared herself “more motivated than ever to keep pushing for the change we need,” while endorsing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for the upcoming election.
The phrase “childless cat lady” was previously used by Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance in a 2021 clip as an insult towards Vice President Kamala Harris and others. Vance’s insensitive remark has been widely condemned by many, including Jennifer Aniston and Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff’s ex-wife.
