Well it made me smile.

Laser pointers and cliffs also.

Ooh, that's terrible!

It's only a joke of course. I don't like carnivorous creatures very much, but I don't actually wish them harm either.

I knew you were joking. That's why I put a laughing smilie. I myself am a cat lover, but I do understand why they're not for everyone. Cats may be low-maintenance to care for, but you have to have a lot of patience for them because they tend to do frustrating things sometimes.

Cats always make things better. They're so cute and awesome.

Cat Parasite Linked to Schizophrenia

Dr. E. Fuller Torrey first suggested over a decade ago that parasites and viruses are likely to be linked to the development schizophrenia. New research further substantiates this link - with specific reference to the Toxoplasma gondii parasite that is common to cats. This is an important reason why women who may become pregnant should avoid exposure to cats.

The study, as reported by Reuter's, stated:

"Pregnant women with high levels of antibodies to a common parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, run the risk having a child who will develop schizophrenia or a schizophrenia-like disorder in adulthood, new research suggests.

Infection with Toxoplasma is widespread. People can pick it up quite easily, especially when cats are around because the animals frequently harbor the parasite.

A pregnant woman who contracts toxoplasmosis can pass the parasite on to her unborn baby, with serious consequences. ...If the infection is spotted, pregnant women can be treated with antiparasitic drugs to lower the risk to their babies.

"Given that toxoplasmosis is a preventable infection," say the authors of the new study, "the findings, if replicated, may have implications for reducing the incidence of schizophrenia."

Here's a silly song I wrote three years ago about Magick, the little black kitty. Airo Astarhy does the voice of the cat.

^^^ This!

Don't worry, cats always land on their feet.

That picture put me into a good mood. I love cats. :O)

Have you seen these YouTube videos? I found them linked to from the MSNBC news web site.

My cat's laying on my chest and purring while I type this

I wouldn't know what to do without her.

I'm going to end up a crazy old cat-man, I'm afraid...

Would that really matter in a 1000 foot drop?

The back of my leather sofa aside.......YES
