My cats were always thrilled to see me. They'd always weave between my legs, before going back to sleep. Cats just aren't emotionally needy. :approve: The mere fact that they acknowledge you at all is enough reason for you to be thankful!

Totally, totally agree. I've had dogs and cats, and I love them both. They are equally affectionate towards me as well. But dogs and cats are different, for sure. They just live in different emotional landscapes.

I have always been amazed at how much affection my cats have for my dogs and vice versa. It's heartwarming :!).

Nice article. As I was explaining to my wife yesterday, this is what I love about PF. Even a kitten thread can have a post where you learn something new. I have heard of mind controlling parasites in other animals but this is a new one for me. Now I know who to avoid while driving. :-p

I googled; "It's too hot in Portland"*, and this was the first image on the list:

I don't quite get the connection, but I thought it was cute. :smile:

An absolutely *fascinating* thread. I've shared that information with dozens of people, non-science folks mostly, that there is proof that a parasite has infected huge swaths of the population, and it changes personalities! I get blank stares -- no one cares! WTH?

I suspect they, too, are toxo-positive :-p.
