However, a link doesn't prove T. gondii causes these changes or that the parasite was passed on to a human from a cat. In other words, the strong-willed cat’s personality drives us into madness.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Typical lousy “parlor game” science equates correlation with causality.

I don’t believe cats are the source of schizophrenia, but a lot of schizophrenic women are cat ladies. They could make the same and more valid claim about participating in abortion, seems to me.
