THE FINAL REPORT 😱

No, it's 👌

Solly 🐈 seems to be eating, drinking water, urinating, defecating, sleeping,

puppy dog morning wake up like nothing ever happened.

He is thinner but, apparently grew too.

He had no localized symptoms, no fever, just listless and not eating/drinking etc.

My hunch is Solly had the malaise of a growth spurt. 16.5 and still growing. Little brother Izzy 🐈 just keeps looking littler.

🙏 all for the quiet well wishes -

Moi :) & 🚬

He probably had a touch of feline flu or something like that.

I'm sick of cats. They've done my family no good, they've sucked away countless thousands of dollars, and they may have caused me to become severely mentally ill. And my dad doesn't want to send them to the shelter or fix them so they keep breeding but at least most of the kittens die, though that's caused my backyard to become a kitten grave yard with literally dozens of kittens buried there and most that actually do reach adulthood disappear sooner or later. I will celebrate the day they all finally leave.

If you really want the cats to go to a better place, you can buy a box of cat repellent inexpensively at most garden shops. You can also plant marigolds or leave orange peels around. Cats dislike the scent of both. Cats can exacerbate allergies and asthma, but severe mental illness must be a preexisting condition.

Not if sweet kitty gets in your head and you don't know it.

Ruth was an Abyssinian female kitty I picked up at a shelter in Milwaukee.

We made several moves together to California.

She was very attentive to people and liked to straddle a thigh.

Room mates over the years told me she got active about an hour or so before I got home.

Some people thought we were too close. Around age 13 she got bowel cancer.

I bought the first surgery but, it came back. She just got weaker and weaker and passed.

I ran a kitty hospice. She did not have that look like when she use to pass stones.

She haunted the condo for years to come. Guests would startle and say, I just felt Ruth jump on to my leg.

One guest reported her in the hallway for a moment.

I don't have to move and OFBK :kittygray seems to know when I am thinking of feeding her.

Most definitely, cats can get in your head. Beware. Be strong. Don't piss them off.

BTW 🐈 Solly's cat box leaving demonstrate his kidneys are pumping as before, there were days of nada.

Big cat. Big urine volume for years. The problem was very little urine for some weeks.

I station water all over the house because Izzy 🐈 is a stone former. None for over 14 years.

Not much to base anything on. Got any science?

After reading all three articles it looked like it was caused by eating raw or uncooked meat. So I guess I am confused then again its close to midnight.

RiverYou can contact toxoplasma if you tend for the cat (it is transmitted not only via raw meat, but also with feces) . And it is also known to affect at least mice/rats behavior.

But getting schizophrenia from that? Must be much more common, considering the amount of cats at homes and in the wild? (On the other hand... it is a mad world after all...).

Ok, unless the one with infection has compromised immune system (HIV, transplants, etc) or wanting to get pregnant, it does not affect people that much.

The link between psychological changes and toxoplasma is not definitely proven for humans.
