Comments in this thread are a bunch of cat-owners going "no my sweet baby is perfect anyone who doesn't like cats is THE DEVIL INCARNATE and HAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM IT'S ACTUALLY DOGS THAT SUCK, NO I DON'T HAVE TOXOPLASMOSIS"
I'm brave, I'll say it - cats drool, canines rule. Ever heard of an Australian Shepherd or a Border Collie giving you toxoplasmosis? I haven't either
Only about 1% of cats shed the parasite at any given time, and the parasite isn't infectious until 1 to 5 days after being shed. The risk comes from accidentally ingesting contaminated soil or litter particles. I also believe they only shed after initially contracting the infection not continuously.
The parasite most commonly spreads through undercooked meat, food (unwashed produce from contaminated soil) or water contamination or can be passed from mother to child. There’s like a non zero chance a cat hater who hates cats for this reason has the parasite without knowing. 2.5 billion people globally and 60 million in the US.
Just dont eat cat poo and you’ll be fine. Its overblown again from cat haters but also just another reason not to have outdoor cats.
Oh and the thing about it making you like cats is false cos its just a severe twisting of the parasites effects in mice that make them passive to predators which has nothing to do with liking cats and we’re also not mice.
HEXBEAR DOESNT WANT ME TO EAT CAT POO. CLASSIC RED FASH BEHAVIOUR
I will eat the cat poop. I will live in the carrier.
PATRIOTS WILL EAT CAT SHIT
minimizing the danger that scooping litter boxes poses to pregnant women #okay!!!
Continue eating cat poo
Still minimizing the dangers scooping cat litter boxes pose to pregnant women, the elderly, and the immunocompromised I see....
Cats ain't narcs , there case closed :)
Neither are dogs they can't speak
Mine could :) and:
You are condemning all dogs for the actions of the abused who suffer in God's (and their K9 unit's) hot car, do you feel good about this??? Answer me NOW
And just for that this is what I found on the side of the road on my way home.
what a little tired baby i love them please get their nails trimmed or take them on a long walk
She got dinner , a hot shower and breakfast , then she wanted to go back to the goats. Neighbor knew the dog . She looked a lot better and said bye before she left :)
Brave and courageous. In this world dominated by cat lovers you speak truth to the unwashed masses.
CATS DROOL . DOGS RULE
thank you it's tough out here on hexbear for dog lovers
they don't know that cats are literally fascists
I don't have any pets, but I have never heard of a cat going out of its way to maul a stranger. I can't say the same for dogs. So I prefer cats strictly on the basis that they're less likely to negatively impact my life.
feral/abused cats can and will attack you without warning just like a wild/feral/abused dog can, end the double standards!!!
Where is this? Most strays I see actively run or hide. They will come out if they're starving.
This is Hexbear
No this is patrick
It's certainly not Maine, I see no dope ass bears.
I have never heard of a cat charging across a street to snipe one specific person completely unprovoked
Dogs can use AR-15s now holy shit
Once had a barbecue next the the edge of the jungle. A very feral large cat decided to show who was boss. Luckily I had plenty of food :) did not want to find out what would have happen if I hadn't thrown it half a chicken
