Tomorrow's Show New research about the Toxoplasma gondii parasite that causes a condition in humans called toxoplasmosis has indicated it may affect the brain so severely that schizophrenia and other conditions may stem from it. And, worse, it appears that 30-percent of the entire US population is infected with it. Symptoms may vary but anger and aggressiveness are part of the condition. It’s quite possible, if not likely, that the raging women on TikTok with the oddly dyed hair, septum pierced noses and anger management issues are victims. Many exhibit dubious hygiene to begin with and all of them love their cats which are the source of the ailment. While cats have a place in society and are a novel pet, they are historically associated with witches. An inordinate number of self proclaimed witches are on TikTok bragging about their spells on Republicans. The latest research is reviewed in this article. It may actually be the root cause of the problematic angry white liberal woman. It is a parasite that infects the brain. And although these connections seem absurd, none of it can be ignored. When you consider the recent popularity of cats as house pets, there should be concern and this parasite should be eradicated somehow. When asking the Perplexity AI robot for information regarding the popularity of house cats for the last 100 year this was the result. Until recently cats were never household pets. What changed? Big-picture growthAround 1920, reliable global numbers do not exist, but cats were far less common as indoor pets; in many places they were working mousers on farms, ships, and in streets rather than family companions. By 2007, estimates already placed the worldwide domestic cat population above 500 million, including pets, ferals, and strays. Recent estimates suggest more than 1 billion cats total, with roughly 220–350 million owned pet cats and around 480 million strays, indicating very large growth in both pet and free-roaming populations over the 20th and early 21st century.
Popularity as petsAs of the early 2020s, cats are among the most common pets globally and are the second most popular pet in the United States, with about 73–74 million owned cats and more than 42 million U.S. households having at least one cat. Europe shows similarly high popularity; for example, the United Kingdom has about 10.9–12 million pet cats, with roughly a quarter of adults living with a cat.
As a side note and observation (not Perplexity here) the number of cats in America does correspond to the number of Democrat voters, more or less. |
