It’s toxoplasmosis parasites in the brain that causes the unfathomable love for cats. Those of us still uninfected[0] find it very odd.

[0] dog people



Cat people never seem to have a need to boost their egos and take jabs at dog people in discussions about dogs. Only (a certain type of) dog people seem to do so. Insecurity? Superiority complex?

Maybe toxoplasmosis makes you a better person? It is my experience that cat owners are overwhelmingly nice, empathetic human beings. There does not seem to be such correlation among dog owners.

Unless you tease about toxoplasmosis.


Many people are neither cat people nor dog people. I have no desire to be around either.


Hell is other people.


Doh, worded that badly. I mean I don't want to be around cats or dogs.
