Feline cat parasite
My son-in-law referred me to an article on Google which stated that cats infect a cat-owners brain with a parasite called toxinoma gondii which forces you to like them. He made me laugh very hard because I thought that this was so absurd an idea that I felt compelled to research it.
For starters, I wondered why somebody would believe this. After all, when one considers the proposition it has no logic. Why would a cat want you to like it?
Cats are noted for their independence and self-reliance. Cats are natural and efficient hunters. They do not need humans to survive. And, if you expand the idea why do they become the hunted in certain cultures when they re claimed to have the ability to make you like them? Who hunts cats? You may ask. Tiger hunts, though rare happen in India and big-game hunters still try to bag lions.
So moving on this is what I discovered. An article in German.
Eine Gruppe von Studenten der Abteilung für Veterinärmedizin der GutAufsichts Universität in Eichental (bei Dortmund) entschied sich für die Aufnahme und Tierversuche an die menschlichen Teilnehmer und machte sich daran, einen falschen Plan zu erarbeiten.
Die Gruppe bestand aus sieben Studenten. Es waren Simon Hauptmann, Gerd Friedrich, Willy Semler, Gertrud Hase, Anneliese Fremden, Eric Rhodes und Johannes Weg.
Da ihre Wohnung in Bochum war, trafen sie sich oft in einer Bar in Dem Winkel, um ihren Plan, ihre Eingabe und ihr schriftliches Papier zu besprechen.
Was sie beschlossen, war ein quasi medizinisches Gutachten, das behauptete, dass Katzen das Gefühl ihres menschlichen Besitzers gegenüber ihnen kontrollieren könnten. Die menschliche Seite dieses Experiments bestand darin, die Leichtgläubigkeit von Menschen zu bestimmen, die Dinge glauben wollen, die sie nicht kannten, aber bereit waren, an einem Mythos teilzunehmen, der sie dazu brachte, sich besser erfüllt und anderen Menschen sympathisch zu machen.
I read this and laughed even more The thought that people are too lazy to check
Note: my German is not so good nowadays, but it gives a lot of truth to the Socrates quote: “Those, who having learned the alphabet, believe that they have come into real knowledge”.
