Strategies
Cat Lady on its own is not very useful, as it has no strength points. However, the amount of health that it has makes it able to resist weak plant attacks.

Cat Lady really shines in a deck filled with Pet cards, as it gains strength points and will be able to attack plants. However, the downside is that it can only gain strength points for only one turn, then you'll have to play some more Pets again. So, don't play too many Pets in one turn, as you may find yourself in a lack of Pet cards when you really need it. Because of this, the player should try and boost its strength points so that it can attack without the need of Pet cards, such as using Loudmouth, Galvanize, Vitamin Z, Zookeeper, and Maniacal Laugh.

Brain Freeze can boost Cat Lady much more easily, as two of his Superpowers, Frozen Tundra and Dolphinado, are Pet Tricks. He can use either tricks to buff Cat Lady and do 3 direct damage to the Plant Hero, or do damage a Plant in front of Cat Lady. Immorticia's signature superpower will boost Cat Lady twice, once for the pet trick and once for the Zom-Bats summoned.

Against
Cat Lady is only formidable if the Zombie Hero uses Pet cards, which most likely they will. If they use Cat Lady first, consider attacking, then dealing with it once a Pet card is used. However, attacking Cat Lady early could also be beneficial, as it won't be much of a hassle to destroy after. Additionally, bouncing Cat Lady with Spring Bean or any other bouncing effect when it gets a strength boost is recommended, as it will not have the strength when placed back again.

If the player is using Rose, beware using Goatify if there is a Cat Lady on the field, as it will still obtain more due to it becoming a Pet card. But if Cat Lady is the Zombie with the highest Strength, and you don't see any other Cat Ladies or Zookeepers, then you are free to use it.
