On the other hand, dog owners rejoice....

Parasites from cat poop makes you lazy like a mouse to be eaten...

Taken from Article:

This may seem bizarre enough, but over the past few years, some scientists have begun to suspect that the parasites alter human behavior in a similar way. Humans often pick up T. gondii from handling cats' litter boxes (because the parasites can be found in their feces), and there's an increasing amount of evidence that the resulting long-term, latent infection can subtly change a person's personality over time."

So this explains cat owners weird actions... Cat owners might be infected by their own cats....
So, dogs eating cat poop could make your hyper active dog chill out?

Growing up had Siamese and Burmese cats. From my late 20's thru late 50's had Dobermans and Rottweilers. Haven't had any pets for the last 5 years or so as it makes traveling so much easier. I would have to board the dogs and that was sometimes problematic. I do miss them.

(When I go to someone's house who has cats, I'm the person whose lap they want to sit on:))

There is another also called Toxoplasma that creates zombie rats. They lose their fear of cats and humans. Supposedly this can be contracted to humans and leads to daredevil activity.

I think that may be true for outdoor cats or cats that go outside and i dont know maybe if you clean their litter box dont wash your hands and then eat straight away?
I wanted to make a contraption so that my cats can go in and out of the window and have the litter box on the window thing (seal?) sort of a cat door but in glass.
