And now there’s the theory about the H. Gondii toxoplasmosis parasite carried by cats that causes schizophrenia in humans.

Also from other studies:

However, a growing number of studies have suggested that kids growing up in a home with "furred animals" -- whether it's a pet cat or dog, or on a farm and exposed to large animals -- will have less risk of allergies and asthma, he tells WebMD.
