So THAT'S why the cat ladies are crazy...
 

Scientist says cat virus affects human personality. Story here.

During NA's stalking of me in late May/early June, I pointed a similar story out to her, urging her to get the help she so desperately needs. However, since it is apparent that she has not yet taken that advice, I am glad to see another story about the dangers of cat ownership.

That's a truly freaky story. How did they come to the conclusions as to what personality changes it causes in humans, I wonder?

"warm, outgoing and attentive to others"

Well, I must not be infected, then. Heh.

When I decide to travel the world and have to abandon my cats, I'm going to use this disease as the excuse.

Is there a way to TEST for this disease?!

:p :p :p :p :p

Hmmm.. though I wonder.. is there a test....

In this case, I'd definitely say NA has the bug. :)

[speaking as a stalked person] Yeah - maybe a little too attentive to others. [/speaking as a stalked person]

Forget Dementia Praecox, I'm changing my name to Toxoplasma gondii!


Does it say anything in there about how typing ability is effected?

Somehow this makes me want to see Cat People again

Putting out fire.........with gasoline.

Sounds like an Super Hero from India - "Toxoplasma Ghandi - saving cows from meat eaters everywhere!"

Slightly off topic, chalk one up for the cows today.

Overexposure to ***** always drives me crazy, anecdotally speaking of course.

Can we call you "Toxy" for short?

I had dinner with the author of the book. Small meek man, you'd never know he could write like that. But then again look at Steven King....

I have two cats, and look at my typing! There's your answer!

To derail this, how good are In N Out burgers? Never imbibbed, myself.

I really like them, but I must admit, I could eat one just for the bun/onions/lettuce/cheese combo too.

Yummy! (I feel the need to have one in honor of Esther - RIP.)
