cool video but it's not a bacterium, it's a protozoan (an eukaryotic organism as opposed to a prokaryotic organism).

I help at a cat shelter, and I don't act that crazy, no more than any average person in fact

Everyone needs to read up on this more. I learned all about this in one of my Natural Resources classes in college. Because of cats, we are killing off Sea Otters, which in turn is killing off kelp forests and so on so on. Its quite a robust issue to say the least.

It could simply be that people who suffer from mental illness are more likely to have cats; not the other way around.

so its just a theory promoted as a fact

I came here after watching a few episodes of Tiger King season 2. I wonder if those big cats are making all the tiger people crazy, cause they all seem to have a few screws loose.

Animals make people crazy... Or just blindly stupid. No ma'am your dog fluffy is not giving me kisses he is biting my leg. Well of corse I'm going to kick it away! Get that knife away from me you crazy fruit bat it's just a stupid
