"The Crazy Cat Lady" is not just an urban legend and humorous stereotype. There's biomedical evidence to prove why women get like they do. Their minds have been hijacked by their cats' parasites -- Toxoplasma gondii. No different than a rodent's brain that gets hijacked by this parasite too.

People whose brains have been hijacked by this parasite explains why cat-hoarders can't smell the overwhelming stench of cat-urine in their own homes that now permeates the whole neighborhood (and the home must be demolished later), and rescuers must wear gas-masks just to enter their premises. This goes FAR beyond someone just getting used to the smells in their own home. The same way that it hijacks rodents' minds to make them attracted to cat-urine it does the same to humans. You know there's something terribly wrong with a brain so damaged that they can't even smell it, so bad that the cat-hoarders' homes have to be demolished as a public-health-hazard so the neighborhood won't suffer from it any longer. Some infected humans even find the smell of cat-urine to be attractive. One of the sometimes suggested easier ways to tell if you've had your brain-hijacked by this parasite is you don't find the scent of cat-urine offensive or fail to notice that scent in the homes of cat-owners.

This too has caused an interesting study of why "Chanel #5" perfume was such an historical success. Cat pheromones are used in "Chanel #5". With the high prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in the male population in France (due to their cultural practice of eating raw and undercooked meats infected with this cats' parasite, meats infected from cats roaming around stockyards and farms), men who have had their brains hijacked by this parasite are attracted to these cat-scents in the perfume.

Another interesting study: They found that women infected with this cats' brain-hijacking parasite are nearly 2X's more likely to commit suicide even though they've never had any mental or emotional health issues before. And an interesting note to this is that T. gondii infected women were far more likely to commit more sudden, gruesome, and painful acts of suicide -- like leaping to their deaths or severing arteries or purposely running into high-speed traffic. None of that peaceful failing to wake-up from a drug overdose for Toxoplasma gondii infected women! No-sirree! It's gotta be bold and gruesome!

This is why I and many others are almost certain, that just like T. gondii hijacks the brains of rodents, it does the same to humans. They are now, for lack of a more descriptive euphemism, like pod-people that have been taken-over by an alien life-form. Doing the bidding of the parasite in their minds that is controlling them to ensure the perpetuation of the parasite (as-is the same function when it hijacks rodents' brains). Their human thoughts demoted to that of parasitic protozoan awareness, where only its base biochemical survival matters, without concern nor regard for anything else in its environment. (Sounds just like most cat-people, doesn't it.) I suppose a few subconsciously sense this eventually, and that is why they suddenly and inexplicably leap to their deaths or run out into traffic for no apparent reason.

Though the majority of these T. gondii controlled "cat ladies" can't see anything beyond their need to spread more of T. gondii's required reproductive hosts (cats) on the planet. They can't be reasoned with. They no longer think like humans anymore, they're thinking how the parasites in their minds want them to reason and think. As for the rest of you who haven't been taken-over by this brain-controlling parasite -- you can argue with a protozoan parasite in a cat-hoarder's brain if you want, but I'll tell you right now you're only wasting your time. Parasitic protozoans in a human's mind refuse to listen to reason -- it's not that they won't, they just can't. To think and reason goes far beyond a single-celled parasite's functions in someone's mind.
