Good fiction is not usually judged for how true it depicts a real living person.

Heck, even actual Biography (non fiction) isn't even judged that way.

Cat Person succeeds because it captures a deeper truth. And boy does that story touch a nerve - a mirror that is hard to look at because of its truth.

Is it a truth though? Seems more like a grim fantasy that's rather exception than the rule. The reality seems much richer and more interesting than the fiction in this case.
