I assume my brain has been toxo-dosed from a very young age. I am fond of almost all
animals.....but when I see KITTEHS, they seem so cuddly and fluffeh, I want to be
extra kind and helpful to them.

I like cats, but don't have any mainly because 1) we have birds, and 2) family members allergic to cats.

I feel like you do about birds. Maybe there ought to be a study linking the relationship of schozophrenia and psittacosis ( Chamydia psittaci is the bacterial culprit here) in bird owners/lovers. J/K.

Relax, cat lover. Nobody said cats cause schizophrenia, they said there is an association between cats and schizophrenia.
