>>18431747Why did historical non-Europeans all seemed to appreciate cats and their utility as predators while Europeans had entire festivities centered around burning them?
Cats were first domesticated in the fertile crescent and are differentiated from the European wildcat by their lower tolerance for cold and less wild aggressive behavior which renders them dependent on human homes for warmth and more easily domesticated. Wildcats from the fertile crescent have almost entirely mixed with domesticated cats owing to the warm climate allowing domesticated cats to survive in the wild and breed with them.These cats carry psychedelic parasite toxoplasmosis gondii which evolved to change the behavior of rats and make them more susceptible to being caught by cats, however it also affects the behavior of humans and just as cat evolution was influenced by domestication so too has Toxo's evolution been. Although Toxo in humans is at an effective dead end in its life cycle, it can assist the survival of its cousins inside pet cats by making humans more attracted to cats.Toxo affects the response by rats to the smell of cat urine, making them less averse to it and less likely ot keep away. It also affects behavior, with differences between men and women, men tend to become more easily stressed, women tend to become more conscientious. It seems likely women's love for cats is due to Toxo infection heightening their maternal instinct while men's behavior is just a random side effect.
>>18431747That's a mistranslation but the actual text is even kinoerhttps://www.linfamy.com/p/this-popular-cat-loving-letter-from>[...] It seems to enjoy practicing Taoist breathing and stretching exercises, its movements resembling exactly the Five Animal Exercises. It often keeps its head low with its tail touching the ground, but when it arches and stretches its back fully, its height reaches about 2 shaku (about 61 cm). Perhaps this skill in breathing and stretching explains why its fur is so sleek and glossy. Furthermore, its skill in swiftly catching mice at night surpasses other cats.>[...] I once spoke to it, saying, “You embody both yin and yang energies, complete with all your faculties and senses. If indeed you have a heart, surely you must understand me?” The cat sighed deeply, lifted its head, and gazed up into my face. It seemed filled with deep emotion, unable to speak.

>>18431771Link to one experimental study on humans contracting toxoplasma gondii from cats. If you can't, it's just an internet meme popularized by schizos.In reality, the most likely source of toxoplasma gondii in humans is food such as pork. It's much easier to explain transmission from food.

>>18431923Yeah, it's only spread via feces, so I'm not sure how one would contract it, except maybe one of those disgusting hoarder houses, if they don't clean the litter box or let the cats outside, and they probably have rat turds and roaches and other disgusting shit around too.
A medieval description of a cat, from Bartholomew the Englishman's encyclopedia "De proprietatibus rerum", mid 13th century >The cat is a beast of uncertain hair and colour; for some cat is white, some red, some black, some skewed (piebald) and speckled in the feat and in the face and in the ears...>And he is a full lecherous beast in youth, swift, playful and merry, and leaps and rests on all things that is before him; and is led by a straw and playeth therwith.* And is a right heavy beast in age, and full sleepy, and lies still in wait for mice; and is aware where they have been more by smell than by sight; and hunts and rests on them in private places; and when he takes a mouse he plays therwith and eats him after the play. And is as if it were wild, and goes about among cats. In time of love is hard fighting for wives, and one claws and teeths the other grievously with biting and with claws. And he makes a rueful noise and gastful, when one proffers to fight with another...>And falls on his own feet when he falls out of high places*Playing with a cat with a piece of string basically
