Did you know that people used to be really weird about what kind of pet each sex should have? It was thought that cats were for females, and dogs were for males, and that a woman who preferred dogs, or a man with cats had some major gender issues, and that you should avoid them like a fish restaurant on a Sunday.

It was believed that you should always choose a dog dude over a cat dude for dating, because clearly the cat dude was someone who straddled the border between crazy and asexual.

This theory that women needed to stay the hell away from men who owned cats was just stupid, and offensive to cat men, and to the people who loved these Ailurophiles (technical name for cat lovers.) Should we reject tattooed men, or surfers because people used to think that men who were inked were criminals, and that surfers were always wasted? Shouldn’t the ability to love, and be interested in things, no matter what, be encouraged not ridiculed? Not dating a certain kind of men is just falling victim to these preconceived judgments,and if you follow them, you’ll be missing out on some really spectacular dateable men.

Date a cat man and you won’t be sorry. Cat owners, like their cats are never boring, and are an excellent addition to your life.

Recent epidemiologic studies indicate that infectious agents may contribute to some cases of schizophrenia. In animals, infections with Toxoplasma gondii can alter behavior and neurotransmitter function. In humans, acute infection with the cat virus "T. gondii" can produce psychotic symptoms similar to those displayed by persons with schizophrenia. Two other studies found that exposure to cats in childhood was a risk factor for the development of schizophrenia.

Since 1953, a total of 19 studies of T. gondii antibodies in persons with schizophrenia and other severe psychiatric disorders and in controls have been reported; 18 reported a higher percentage of antibodies in the affected persons; in 11 studies the difference was statistically significant.

How about I just don't date anyone and have cats of my own? Oh wait! I've already done that.

P.S.

Whoever wrote that article is a psycho with a skewed idea of gender stereotypes, and I hope no one ever dates or procreates with them.
 
Every man I've ever been seriously involved with has either been an animal lover himself or, at the very least, tolerated my love of animals and the fact that I've always had at least one pet, whether it be a cat or a dog, or both...or several.


Perhaps I'm just drawn to men who, naturally, have a nurturing and caring spirit...who - coincidentally - are NOT schizophrenics.


Oh, wait...I've never even known a schizophrenic in real life, let alone dated one. Maybe it's simply an online thing-y.
