Dare I say it? My wife has been having some issues that have steadily gotten worse over the past two years. We also got a cat two years ago. Correlation does not necessarily imply causation. It does imply that one investigate the correlation though...

As a woman I agree with you.

It hacks women off when you say..”oh it must be your time of the month” etc.

Do the investigation before you bring it up. Hard to have a woman tested for the parasite without her knowing but maybe you can test the cat. (I didn’t read the article)

Blaming cats for being crazy.

I bet they blame farts on the dog, too.

My mom had a mood ring

When she was happy, the ring would be blue

When she was angry, the ring would leave red marks on my dads forehead

I wonder how black cats ever got associated with witches.
Could there be a connection to these findings?
