Medical Justification

Seriously.

There may be a medical justification for crazy cat lady behaviors.

I think this proves a number theories that I have always held.
Toxoplasmosis and psychology: A game of cat and mouse | The Economist:

"One reason to suspect this is that a country’s level of Toxoplasma infection seems to be related to the level of neuroticism displayed by its population. Another is that those infected seem to have poor reaction times and are more likely to be involved in road accidents. A third is that they have short attention spans and little interest in seeking out novelty. A fourth, possibly the most worrying, is that those who suffer from schizophrenia are more likely than those who do not to have been exposed to Toxoplasma."
