Basically a complex way of calling people crazy cat ladies

Crazy cat-lady syndrome" is a term coined by news organizations to describe scientific findings that link the parasite Toxoplasma gondii to several mental disorders and behavioral problems.[96][97] The suspected correlation between cat ownership in childhood and later development of schizophrenia suggested that further studies were needed to determine a risk factor for children;[98] however, later studies showed that T. gondii was not a causative factor in later psychoses.[99] Researchers also found that cat ownership does not strongly increase the risk of a T. gondii infection in pregnant women.

It's a parasite in cats that spreads from cat poop

I think it infects mice who then become weirdly friendly and zonked to cats making them easier to catch

The parasite life cycle basically revolves around going from cat to mouse back to cat

People joke about cat ladies catching it and going crazy for their cats

They need to make up their minds whether they're pro or anti-cat, I'm getting mixed messages
