That article looked like it was written and researched by a high school freshman.

To be fair, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to come to the same conclusion.

And my ex!

My sister isn't schizo - but her cat is!

(for some inexplicable reason, the cat even likes me!)

I can't tell you how many cat owners just stack a new litter box in an old one and continue to do so or have 2 or 3 stacks. Always in front of either the furnace or water heater. Sickening. And half the time they ask if we know why their homes stink.

We've got lots of cats. 4 indoor and 1 mouser that stays outside

3 litter boxes that get cleaned daily. If you didn't see the cats you would have no clue we have them. Outdoor boy keeps the mice and chipmunks to pretty much zero. He works for his food. Also have a dog as well

I would say I'm just borderline psychotic

My brother has 2 cats and I wouldn't consider him schizo. He is however bat **** crazy and so am I and I don’t even own a cat. It might be a family thing.

Two of our four housebeasts. We too have three litter boxes that are cleaned daily. Wife is a life-long cat hoarder. When we got married 33 years ago, I set the limit at two fur babies. That only lasted until the kids moved out. Then we ended up with two more.

I thought schizophrenia was a symptom of cat ownership, not a cause.

No, but I've met my fair share of nutty dog owners...

Or horse…

So you've not heard of all the crazy horse people stories? Maybe you're immune because you ARE one. haha!

I think I'm a little closer to schizophrenia after trying to read that article.

yes,... yes we all are. One of the voices in my head (the guy that plays the banjo) especially.
Sorry some of the voices in my head cause more problems at times when they argue.. so what was he talking about?? The crazy horse people?? yes,... yes we all are. Here he goes again..

We have 3 two outside one in. There was a lady who lived down the street from my dad and step mom who ran a cat rescue out of her house, usually had at least ten, frequently more, occasionally much more. You couldn't help but see them unless you were blind, but if you were Stevie Wonder you wouldn't know she had any until you tripped over one. Not sure how many litter boxes she had but yeah cleaned at least daily, usually multiple times a day. I think usually 3, in the AM, shortly before her husband came home from work, and a last time before bed.
