I was sure that this story had to be fake. It just seemed too good to be true. Now I can’t confirm the actual story as I’m just a lone blogger and…I don’t care that much. It did confirm that it actually is on the ABC News site though.

Kevin Lafferty works at for the US Geological Survey as a parasite ecologist. He’s been spending his time and our tax dollars checking out the effects of the parasites in cat poop on the human brain. Apparently the effects are dramatic:

Research has shown that women who are infected with the parasite tend to be more warm, outgoing and attentive to others, while infected men tend to be less intelligent and probably a bit boring. But both men and women who are infected are more prone to feeling guilty and insecure.

So…women who like cats are sweet and nurturing while men who like cats are dumb and dull. That’s the greatest thing science has done for us in a long, long time.
