Ageist Insult (Almost)

    I was at a local institution where a young agent was helping me access an account. She asked me for a Password, and I said Maybe@1. She entered it and then asked if I would remember it. I said yes, it's my cat's name. So far, so good. But then she asked, "Do you have more than one cat?"  I immediately thought she was seeing me as an old cat lady, but I kept civil and answered no. The transaction concluded with no problems. 

   Only later, recounting this to a saner person than I  am now, did I come to understand that the agent meant that if I had more than one cat,  I  might enter the wrong name.
