Hot Docs 2009 Trailers: CAT LADIES

When I saw this on 20/20, I thought this was so sad. My sister and I talked about this and came to the conclusion that when women feel lonely, they get these animals for companionship, but when men become lonely, they seek revenge. Not compassion. We see the way my other sister acts when the neighbor's cat strolls by and pray that she doesn't end like this though. It's heartbreaking.

Everyone always gets mad when I say this (especially cat lovers). I HONESTLY believe that; cats MAKE you crazy. Something in their fur or something. Hear me out. I've worked in pet stores and sheltered a good majority of my life. Everytime a customer/client ever made a big racket about anything, or just seemed very annoying or overly rude; 100% of the time (to date this is not an exaggeration in MY experiences), it was a cat owner causing the commotion. Cat people (to me) just seem to be edgier.

no.

google "human toxoplasmosis and cats" and you'll find an explanation

Excuse my language:

...but I fucking knew it! I did read up on it, and just like I said, cats do "make" someone crazy (or in the case of that disease mentally unstable in some cases). I want you to show that link to anyone who disagrees with me. I have the site where I found the information "favorited" to my browers. I'm going to print it up as soon as I'm done with work.

I do not disagree with you cause I really don't know anything about it but it does sound interesting... could you show it to me, please?

Do a Google search for "Toxoplasmosis".

contingocoins speaks the truth. The parasite toxoplasma gondii affects human behavior.

@1deviousbastard: Every woman can get a guy if she really wants to. That's just a matter of lowering your standards, until you end up with some dumb, ugly and crippled motherfucker, who can't read, write, doesn't have a job and beats the shit out of you.

But you'd have a warm body to call "your guy", so you're not 'lonely'. :)

Face it: realizing the above, it's safe to conclude that it's their own choice to live this kind of life. Maybe because they know what to expect from animals?

Really?single women with cats are all pathetic losers with mental illness? Would you ever in a million years imply that a single guy with 3 pets is somehow a societal joke? Shame on you for your sexist sorry excuse for journalism.
