"The list goes on. And on. And on.
Despite that, new research released this week shows “no link between owning a feline and exhibiting psychotic symptoms.”
Yes, the mere fact that scientific research has been done on this subject reveals that something is definitely not right with cat owners.
Still, the University College London, a research university in London, did an extensive study.
Why? Because other research revealed cats are a primary host of Toxoplasma Gondi, or T. Gondi for short. T. Gondi causes mental health conditions such as schizophrenia.
The study followed about 5,000 people born in 1991 or 1992, people who had cats while their mothers were pregnant or grew up in houses with cats.
“Our study suggests that cat ownership during early pregnancy or in early childhood does not post a direct risk for late psychotic symptoms,” Dr. James Kirkbride, the study’s senior author said in a news release.
He did caution that T. Gondi exposure could lead to serious birth defects and other health problems in children.”"
