content: Look up the phrase "cat parasite". That is nightmare fuel, but not as graphic. Basically there is strong evidence that there in fact IS such a thing as "cat people" and that's due to a parasite which infects rats and mice and cats and evidently people, is responsible for releasing certain chemicals that change the behavior of the host victim (the "food" the cat eats, such as rats and mice) and these animals begin showing signs of a complete loss of fear of cats, making it easier for the cat to eat the mouse or rat and thus the parasite completes it's journey and returns to a cats body, in which it begins it's life cycle when the cat poops and the parasite now in the poop, gets picked up by some other cat or rat. People's brains also get altered by this same parasite and it seems they become even more in love with cats then before. There is a whole list of parasites who alter the behavior of their host body, thus in doing so they become easier prey for some predator!
