So not only are cats passively useless spongers, they are actively detrimental to people's health.https://www.indy100.com/science-tech/cats-schizophrenia-mental-health-link-2667773148If I'm ever forced to look after a cat I'm going to feed a vegan diet - not because I give a shit about animal agriculture but out of spite. It's about time they got a taste of their own medicine.
>reddit threadhidden lol
Yeah we know, they're basically houseplants.
>>4774077How would that be ‘a taste of their own medicine’?
>>4774167They make people ill so I would make them ill. A few weeks of that and they could probably recover. Schizophrenia fucks you up for life.
>>4774077Unless toxoplasmosis causes schizophrenia, I think they're putting the cart before the horse here. It's more probable that schizos surround themselves with housecats rather than becoming schizos because they have cats.
>>4774214Fuck no it's living hell.
Yet another win for guinea pigs. Seethe

WE HAVE TO STOP THIS!!!!!’>‘Goldberg news station, this just in, experts say that cats cause schizophrenia. The science says that to avoid schizophrenia, you should not get cats, and if you come into contact with a cat to self-isolate and take clozapine immediately’ >mfw
correlation does not equal causation
Yeah but they're neat.You look like this by the way.

>>4774252wasn't that gentle looking fella a dog person? or did the CIA emitters get to me
>>4774489He was, yeah. Pic related was the cat person of the bunch.I'm obviously just memeing. It's pretty well-known the famous Austrian painter and some of his higher up pals much disliked domestic cats. They did think big cats, especially lions, were cool, though.
>>4774175Toxoplasmosis causes schizophrenia
>>4774489Lovecraft was the cat lover.More like Lovecat amirite.
>>4774516So women and gays are all schizo? This explains a lot desu.
>>4774077You can't take revenge on an animal. There's a 200,000 word book on the subject.

>>4775191When it stops benefiting all the agendas that it does
I dont know how any sane person can enter a cat owners home and not get an immediate sense of severe mental illnessAs soon as the smell hits i get a wave of crippling depression while i imagine living like that every single dayNightmare
>>4774077>mysteriousHasn't in been well known for decades that cat owners who keep a shitty litter box in the house and allow a cat to climb all over everything with its shitty paws, WILL get toxoplasmosis at some point in their lives, and that toxoplasmosis causes schizophrenia?I like cats but I'd never let one stay in my house, filthy.
>>4775191when you discover the link between that article and the study so you can fucking well read the results yourself you god damned slobbering retard
>>4774509Cats have always been the Semitic pet choice (other than Americans that is)
>>4775516They really do smell so bad
>>4774077Neighbor feeds cats and they come over and shit in my frontyard and backyard, right on the lawn just like dogs do. I'm going to get my own cat just for this reason.
>>4776443Because youre toxopozzed and crave the shit smell now?
>>4776447No cats are territorial. They don't shit where they eat. So they eat at the house feeding them and then go somewhere else to shit, which is my house. Also I figure if I have a cat it will keep other cats away from it's food and shit on other people's property. So it will be equal. It's the toxopozzed that I can't reason with and tell them to stop feeding cats.
>>4776449don't know if gigabased or supercringeeither way I'm sure there are other (less invasive) ways to make them stop coming over. get one of those bright light sensors that turns on when it detects movement and make them scared to come over that way? what I would do is talk to the owner and if they don't comply or are assholes about it I would start bullying them with my own shit, just throw it over or something. what goes around, shits around
>>4774077Is this new info? I remember learning about this when I was like 10, I don't know from where but I remember knowing it.
>>4776556>>4776449Yeah talk to the owner. Next time their cats are in your yard grab them if you can and take them to the vet saying 'I just found them in my yard idk' ofc make sure you remove all collars.If the cats are microchipped the vet will contact your shitty neighbours and hopefully this should scare them into realising that literally anything could happen to their cats outdoors and they should keep them indoors. Repeat as many times is necessary. Eventually the vet will stop contacting the owner entirely.If they're not microchipped then your problem is over pretty much instantly.
>>4776449>add more pests to control pestscatfag retard logic at its finest
>>4776624I’ve never heard of a vet that just accepts random cats because people found them.
>>4775546You need to ingest cat shit to get toxo. Unless someone has their their litter box literally right next to their fucking stove or on their dinner table the chances of that happening are next to none.
>>4776624I used to trap and call the city. They would take the cats away. After Covid the city stopped the service. Not only that but this one cat won't go in the traps and I can't trap it.
>>4776721The vet might won't, but driving to a shelter in the next county? Hell yeah. Works like a charm.>>4776723The oocysts have an airborne period, and despite what you've been told about cats being "clean animals" they have fecal particles in their fur especially concentrated on the paws, legs, and belly. Cats are not people. They do not wash when they are dirty. They walk around being dirty, and then when they are relaxed they coat themselves with spit which interrupts their scent trail.I have a cat, I sedate it to shave out its paw pads, and it still tracks litter and walks around with shit basically cemented in there from burying their piss.
>>4776723warning on the cat litter says it can be transmitted by the dust
>>4776745if that were true then every cat owner would have it
>>4774077Bullshit third worlder thread Please die already
>>4776723Autists on this board can't comprehend the idea of cleanly cat owners, or just pretend they're nonexistent, it's embarrassing.
>>4776975youre not clean if you have cats in your house, simple as
>>4777010Who the fuck are you, did someone appoint you the Supreme Judge of household cleanliness? If you have any sort of pet besides something kept enclosed 24/7 like fish or ants, they're going to have some impact on cleanliness, cats are not special in that regard, and if the owner isn't lazy, that impact can be minimal. And if you're a legitimate neat freak, then having pets may not be for you, so why are you even here?
>>4777016Stinky catfaggot mad lmao
>>4776810Not everyone has a shit immune system.
>>4777040You ould make the same argument in favor of having lots of anonymous gay butt sex
>>4776975True it’s a meme they don’t want to let go of>>4777040So it’s a non issue in the first place for normal people? Lol
>>4774077>mysteriousits not, its old news too
>>4777156If you’re “normal” toxo doesnt cause symptoms but it still grows cysts in your brain.
>>4777255>normalExcuse me but "normal" is a micro aggression against neurodiverse individuals. Apologize for singling out differently-abled people.
>>4774077>mentally ill people hoardign cats as well as hoarding clutter>uugh there a link between schizo and cat ownership!
>>4774086FPBPCat website, redditors stay seething
>>4774077We were discussing bad hygiene habits the other day in a class. I tried to talk about how unhygienic cats are and everyone just ignored me lmao.You have a cat, that cat will touch its shit and piss on a daily basis and climb onto your table where you want dinner.Cat owners are all infected with this shit.
>>4778623I try to avoid cat people at all costs but I have a few relatives with cats i have to visit once in a blue moom and they all swear up and down theirs are clean and dont get on the counters but every single time the one time i go visit them every 8 years or whatever the cat magically desides that's the day it goes on the counter? They would have nice clean houses if they let filthy disgusting cats ruin them for some reason
>>4778627ESL fail post
>>4778627I was exposed to like 30 cats as a child. My crazy mother would keep about 8 at a time. If one went missing or died, she'd replace it. I'm autistic and neurotic as hell but not schizo. Can I sue my mother for damages? My cousin also dropped me on my head as a baby, which might complicate the proceedings.

>>4780001>Y-you just hate catsOh but its very possible to be a clean cat ownersThere is a massive swath of cat owners who got the message, but rejected it because they believe that cats are clean and therefore do not cleaned up after.
