https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasma_gondii

Toxoplasma gondii (/ˈtɒksəˌplæzmə ˈɡɒndi.aɪ, -iː/) is a species of parasitic alveolate that causes toxoplasmosis.[3] Found worldwide, T. gondii is capable of infecting virtually all warm-blooded animals,[4]: 1  but members of the cat family (Felidae) are the only known definitive hosts in which the parasite may undergo sexual reproduction.[5][6]

Can infect basically any mammal, but cats are their preffered hosts.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
