SpiralDrift 05/22/17 12:08:43 PM #3:	People like to downplay the risk of toxoplasmosis but we all know that cat people act differently than normal people. It's like if you walk into a house that smells like cat pee and poop and the people living there can't even tell, and they have like 8 cats because they love cats, they've probably all got it. --- Do unto others what your parents did to you. <cite>SpiralDrift posted [p:879586495] in Is it true...

You can keep a cat leashed to a pole in your yard. You make sure it doesn't eat any wild animals (mice can have parasites like roundworms, rats could have eaten rat poison, etc) , it stays away from toxic plants, it's been threatened by other animals like a skunk, and <cite>Anisoptera posted [p:879587493] in Is it true...

SpiralDrift 05/22/17 12:46:19 PM #9:	NeonOctopus posted... What's that? >_> Gojak_v3 posted... Is that some kind of gross poop death? It's a behavior-altering virus that's mainly spread through cat poop. Tests have shown that infected specimens develop an affinity for the smell of the poop, which facilitates further spread of the infection. Other behavioral changes have been noted as well. Changes in behavior have been noted in humans as well. --- Do unto others what your parents did to you. <cite>SpiralDrift posted [p:879588665] in Is it true...
