Hmm. Might explain the behaviour of some people who feed masses of birds in 
their yards. It is thought that people who have what is commonly known as 
"crazy cat lady syndrome" suffer chronic toxoplasmosis infections and that 
there is a strange three way symbiosis between cats, humans and toxo. 

Speaking of "crazy cat ladies", I recently came across a "Crazy Cat Lady Action 
Figurine" set. Must buy one for my daughter.
