Sounds like a scene from a script in a Star Trek movie, I belive it was The Wrath of Kahn.

It was tough enough for me to quit my hobby of burying libs under my house... I sure wouldn’t want cats to drive me crazy.

No wonder my dog doesn’t like cats.

Well well. The Viking Kitties have microscopic myrmidons too. All part of the feline insidious plan to bend you to their every whim. As if it’s not enough to lay on your hip then turn on their gravity magnification rays (10 lb. cat = 50 lb. magnified) every time you go to sleep.

Cool article. Very interesting as well.

Nice to see a Czech prof getting some recognition; Charles University is a great university, and I’m not just saying that because I taught English there for a couple of years.

So basically, for all you cat-lovers, your pet is, in reality, The Thing.

Bwahahahahahaha!!

I have always suspected cat people were a little touched.

T[oxoplasma] gondii, reports Sapolsky, can turn a rat’s strong innate aversion to cats into an attraction, luring it into the jaws of its No. 1 predator. Even more amazing is how it does this: the organism rewires circuits in parts of the brain that deal with such primal emotions as fear, anxiety, and sexual arousal.

Now we know why, almost every time a Rat shows up on FR, it runs right into the Viking Kitties' jaws. (A few of them are only played around with by the Kitties.) It could not help the average prowling cat because it's not schmoozing with those rodents.

Infected women, on the other hand, presented in exactly the opposite way: they were more outgoing, trusting, image-conscious, and rule-abiding than uninfected women.

Nope, not here. Ok, the cat can stay.

Interesting article. Loved the comments:

Bart_Savagewood:

The author makes it quite clear in the first few paragraphs that this is not settled science and is still highly controversial and warrants further study.

Rather than being anti-pet, my reading of the article can be summarized as thus: Poop contains a lot of pathogens - many of which we have little-to-no understanding of. Be careful when handling poop.

Well, there goes that hobby.

More like the reason the leftists act like the rats they are.

I've always been of the opinion that people who have cats are, in fact crazy. But I had always assumed that their craziness caused them to acquire cats; not that the fact that they had cats caused them to be crazy.

My dogs have never pondered which is the cause and which as the result; they merely consider cats to be tasty snacks.

People are just finding out about this but cats have always known it to be true.

That is why they wait for you to go to sleep then wipe their butts on your tables, kitchen counters and all over your kitchen sinks.

Sometimes even on your face if they can get away with it.

They truly are vile creatures.
