So what is the percentage of cats infected with the toxo parasite?? What is the transmission rate of infected litter boxes to unsuspecting litter box cleaning personnel?

If most of the schizophrenics are males of a certain age group, how can that be when I've never seen a man clean a litter box?? Have I lived a sheltered life???

My guess is that schizophrenia is like cancer, a whole lot of different things with similar symptoms.

I'm pretty sure there is a genetic component.

I can't remember the name of the chemical, but "Silence of the Lambs" described something as being the "smell of schizophrenia" (paraphrasing). This leads to the hypothesis that there is a metabolic disorder with the same symptoms.

And the thought just struck me, if dogs can sniff out cancer, why not at least some schizophrenia?

From doing a Dogpile search, cats came up as 80%.

Zero, if you keep your kitties inside. Unless you have mouses in your houses.
