That's the one animal I can't imagine eating but I don't really know why. I've had dog, ostrich, kangaroo and alligator, so cat shouldn't be an issue for me. But it is.

[(Anonymous)]

The only animal I can't imagine eating is Panda. And that is only because the damn Chinese control the supply.

[grausam]

Panda is supposed to taste awful. They brought a Chinese farmer to court for killing a Panda for meat once, and he complained that they shouldn't punish him because it tasted too awful to eat it all.

[(Anonymous)]

It is because cats cause some sort of mental illness in their owners, forcing them to warp their entire experience around the perceived gratification of the cat ahead of all other needs.

Go back to your shiteating baby-killing mongrels

What. Fuck off.

NA It's sadly not a joke. Toxoplasmosis is fairly common among cat owners (and raw food aficionados) and it can seemingly cause women to be more trusting, rule-abiding and home centered and men to be more paranoid, less considerate and bad with traffic. Look it up.

[(Anonymous)]

Citations on it being fairly common?

"Up to half of the world's population are infected by toxoplasmosis but have no symptoms.[8] In the United States about 23% are affected[9] and in some areas of the world this is up to 95%.[1] About 200,000 cases of congenital toxoplasmosis occur a year.[10]"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasmosis

[(Anonymous)]

23 percent isn't that high, and the high percentage in the other parts of the world is more likely to have to do with other factors than owning a cat.

[(Anonymous)]

1 of 4 sounds fairly common to me.

[(Anonymous)]

How common is it if it only affects a small minority of the population? And what percentage of the 22% affected actually got it from a cat, and not one of the various other causes?

Research indicates that contact with cats (or owning a cat) does not increase the risk of T gondii infection in humans. Studies have shown that:

It is rare to find cats shedding oocysts in their faeces - for example one study of more than 206 cats showed nearly 25% had been infected with T gondii, but none of them were shedding oocysts in their faeces
Vets working with cats are no more likely to be infected with T gondii than the general population including people not in contact with cats
Contact with cats generally has little or no influence on the probability of people being infected with T gondii whereas consuming raw meat significantly increases the risk of acquiring infection
Stroking a cat will not spread infection from cats to people (even when shedding oocysts in their faeces, oocysts cannot be found in the cat's coat)
The risk of infection from cats is very low, except in young children playing in soil contaminated with sporulated oocysts
Most people are probably infected through ingestion of undercooked meat – especially goat, mutton and pork
Newer strains of T gondii have been identified that are highly contagious, with infection being efficiently passed between intermediate hosts (species other than cats). Consequently, some scientists think that cats are becoming less important in the spread of this infection.

Wait, what? That's insanely high for an infection in a population.

[(Anonymous)]

Less than a quarter is insanely high?

[kallanda_lee]

a quarter of a population? For an infection? Yes, that's huge - imagine if it were lethal. I mean, only a few thing surpass hat, like herpes.

[(Anonymous)]

jts still misleading to say that it's common for cat owners (when you're more likely to get it from eating raw meat) and that it makes them crazy (when most people who have it don't show any symptoms)

[(Anonymous)]

fuck off cat hating troll

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed. I can't think of an animal that'd feel more "wrong" for me to eat, to be honest. Though dogs would be pretty bad, too, I think I'd eat dog first - maybe since they're "bigger" and more meatier, and cats just don't look like an animal that one ought to be eating.

How about dolphin?
