Some people like cats and think they're adorable [read: lonely women, all of the internet] but others don't think they're all that great [read: everybody else]. Turns out there's another reason to hate cats, their poop can drive women to suicide. We've already written about how cats can kill your children at the drop of a hat, turns out that the toxoplasma gondii parasite which was thought to be harmless to adults can actually cause a change in women's brains. The change is that women infected with the parasite are one and a half times more likely to commit suicide. It's a new study so a lot more research needs to be done before anybody can jump to conclusions, but I don't like to waste time, I always knew cats were the spawn of Satan. 

If there is any reason to not have a cat more than this I don't know what would be. Not only are cats evil, you can tell by the way they stare at you and knock all your shit off the counters, but they are actively trying to kill you too. They trick you by being playful and fluffy but the second you look away they're infecting you with parasites. Why? Because fuck you, that's why. The only cat on the planet that's worth a damn is my cat Fritz, but that's only because he goes to the bathroom outside like a dog. You can't get infected if you're not cleaning up your cat's poop.

TL;DR Cats can infect women with a parasite that changes the way their brain operates making them want to kill themselves.
