Some scientists suspect that cats can cause mental illness in people. They discovered that a protozoan named Toxoplasma gondii, commonly found in cat feces, has been implicated in some cases of schizophrenia. The findings are preliminary and based on statistical correlation, rather than step-by-step tracing from infection to disease.
I've always hated cats. Now I have a reason.
Article was from National Geographic, August 2005, p.1.

I have three cats and as far as I know I don't have any serious mental problems. Also, I don't play with their poop!!
