I'm sorry, but anyone who has seen the Beneful Dog Food commercial can't possibly claim cat owners are more neurotic.

So Happppeeee!!!

That's for sure. Nobody and nothing owns a cat -- it is supremely supreme.

ALMOST as cute as the mother tiger who adopted a litter of piglets as her own, who were then dressed appropriately by the zoo staff   :-)

Perhaps not Toxoplasmosis.

Think retrovirus.

liberalism [in its contemporary meaning; "leftism" would be both better and more precise] causes parasitism, and is reinforced by it.

attitudes to ego, money, material wealth, work and rules may be affected by the parasite.

That at least explains JudyJudyJudy. No, wait. That probably explains you and the Boyz from Bangkok.

Ping. Does this explain troll behavior?

"infected with Toxoplasma -gondii, a relative of the malaria bug, which also infects rats, giving them a suicidal attraction to cats. "
