This certainly explains my sister.
They’ve known this for *decades* but the Cat People went berserk[er] when the study was published and forced the scientist to retract his findings.
I think he went into hiding, for his own safety.
/empiric evidence in action
By infecting the host, [but not killing it] the parasite ensures that it will easily replicate and infect more hosts, thus guaranteeing virtual immortality.
One pet cat becomes 40 hoarded cats and the parasite lives forever.
It’s not the ‘scare of the week’.
It’s decades old science and it’s a fact.
It keeps “coming back” as “news” because the Cat People squash it every time it surfaces.
Nature is full of parasites that infect and then alter/control their hosts.
Dogs can’t give you anything, really.
*Maybe* a case of easily cured worms that will *not* take over your mind.
Cholesterol is one thing; parasitic psychosis is an whole ‘nother thing.

LOL.
There was another study by Russians where drivers were having fatal accidents because of being infected with toxoplasmosis. How they separated toxoplasmosis from the vodka was not covered in the article.
Pretty sure I read it here on FR:)
In Russia, Toonces the cat drive drunk.
