Enjoy your toxoplasmosis, and subsequent schizophrenic symptoms… but at least your cats got to hunt all the diseased rats they like, right?

And, According the the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, you have a much higher likelihood of contracting the disease from eating raw meat or from gardening.

But I guess you don't do much of either.

The thing is, like everyone of us, you'll die someday, you'll get sick, probably even very sick as you age. You can't cheat death, disease and suffering for ever. You can do the reasonable stuff to take care of you, avoiding really stupid stuff like DUI, hard drugs, cigarretes, excessive drinking, too much sugar, but you need to understand that this only goes so far, and that in average, it is not liking you are going to double your lifespan if you became completely anal about preventing risk. Sooner or later, no much how paranoid you are your cellular machinery will star failing, and no, you won't be able to upload your life to the cloud and live forever in the metaverse as much as your average incult billionaire tech bro believes.

And when this day comes, the question that really matters is not if you are going to die soon, but wether you have ever lived.

Now, you are free, and if you want to live in a super-afraid-karen modem the rest of your life, none of our business. But don't force an animal to share your miserable outlook of life. If you are so worried about the cat bringing those dangerous germs to your house, nobody is forcing you to have a cat.

Cats deposit the parasite in gardens, so your suggestion that this vector of infection is unrelated to roaming cats is misleading.

what a miserable, privileged outlook on life. it's wild what must've happened to your mind to delude yourself into being this quick to judge so severely based on such little information. a knee-jerk, emotional response to the facts. i'll do an assumption of you since you're so into it: i feel for the people that have to exist around you. i couldn't imaging the anguish of dating you.

Oh, so much fear, scary world out there. Oh god, it is all so terrifying!!!! All the pedophiles, the rabid dogs, the scammers! better do as mama always made me do, and stay locked at home playing video games!

wow, what a spiteful, judgemental message. people always beat their children to discipline, so should we keep that relic from the past even though we know better? a cat indoors is not miserable; rather you lack creativity to get it the stimulus it needs in a way that doesn't thrust the problems of an outdoor cat onto your local community. outdoor cats are for people who like the idea of having a pet, but don't want all the responsibility to take care of it and instead relies on the local environment to provide it with all of its needs. you force non-cat owners to subsidize outdoor cat ownership. y'all are a draw on our society holding onto this idea cats need to be outdoors b/c you have a naive view of what is "natural". you think your cat is being in nature, but it's more akin to a state-sponsored killer. you think wild animals get the benefit of having a guaranteed source of food, shelter, and disease prevention?
