toxoplasmosis?
the most common human disease.
In the US basically everyone has it because of pork.
It has this fascinating life cycle, but industrialized farming and food safety kinda makes it moot.
it's basically pork herpes
t. gondii is one of the most common parasitic infections in humans, not the most common human disease.
there are typically no symptoms, but when the symptoms do show up in humans, they're along the lines of swollen lymph nodes.
there's no credible evidence of it resulting in humans changing their behaviour towards cats, which makes sense, since we're a biological dead-end for toxoplasmosis. there'd be no benefit for the parasite to change our behaviour.
If it made us like cats more there would be a higher chance of cats becoming more prevalent, which would be good for the parasite yes? So there could be some evolutionary pressure there. Not that I'm saying it has actually happened, but theoretically it might be advantageous.
evolutionary pressure happens over generations and via sexual reproduction, as far as i'm aware. humans are a biological dead-end for toxoplasma, there's no way for t gondii to "learn" that there'd be any benefit to changing human behaviour, let alone how to do so.
Cat loving vegans are probably mostly lone star tick bitten toxo infected zombies.

Ah, that's better.
Reading this in the loo, my cat came, saw me and went to her letterbox, she uses her toilet when I use mine.
Did she receive any mail today
She should that cat deserves fan mail
She never scratched, bitten or even hissed at anyone.
She follows me like a puppy She has never thrown any object of the shelves
Never eaten human food (I left sushi on the table once overnight and she did not even look at it.
She only eats from her bowl.
Once a firefly entered the house, it looked like a laser pointer, but the instant she realized it was a living bug, she stopped trying to catch it and looked at it with curiosity and kindness.
She has an automatic litterbox that sometimes gets stuck so when that happens and she needs to relieve herself she uses the bathtub, a bit gross, but literally the easiest place in the house to clean.
She is absolutely the most perfect cat, this is unnatural, she is a messianic figure, A cat had a chance to literally catch the laser pointer and she choose peace is some biblical prophecy thing
Every cat owner has a complaint, like she pisses on the plants, or starches the furniture.. NOT this one, the worse she has ever done is fart if I change her food to one that isn't good for her.
Thats a great kittycat :-)
My 2 cats are bullies to others :-( They terrorized the 3rd cat we had because they were jealous (can't share their humans with someone else, no sir). They are from Serbia, and i started calling them our serbian mafia when they did this.
When i moved out i took them with me, and since then they are very much better behaved as long as they get all the cuddling and playing they want - but if i dare to refuse because i am occupied with something else, they start misbehaving, throwing things from the couch table and stuff like that to get my attention - as soon as they get pet with my full attention while lounging on me for 10-15 minutes (during the day thats about the time of one cuddling session per cat - they want their pets every 2-3 hours) they start behaving again.
They know what they want and they are NOT willing to compromise lol
I hate it when my cats starch my furniture, especially when I spent all day getting it to the perfect level of starchiness...
Is this the ai piss filter at work making the background yellow?
I hate how jaded I've become, I don't trust this to not be slop though.
If you replaced the cat with a person, wouldn't that be an unhealthy fixation?
I like that the biggest smile is in the last panel. Great attention to detail!
You think it's reciprocated?
Absolutely not. My cat violently rubs his cheeks on me and rams me with his forehead in attempts to kill me. At night he tries to strangle me and holds me down. He even tries to claw me to death from under the bathroom door when I'm in there then acts like he's done nothing when I get out.
My cat loves more than my dog.
Keep it up for at least seven hours, you can do it! You can make a comeback. Your best days are NOT behind you, but then neither is your prosthetically-enhanced sister.
I can see how an enhanced sister existing would be a boon to your process. Especially if she owns a Jell-O mould. Doubly so if she has a Go Pro, or possibly even two... 🤔 You just might be on the verge of inventing several new categories of quality adult entertainment.
