Norwegian catsplosion!
« on: April 13, 2010, 04:21:04 pm »
The news in norway today showed a picture of some dude living with ~200 cats! His apartment must sure be laggy as hell... And he started out with only 3 cats, 10 years ago! Now THAT's a catsplosion for ya's.

That guy's in desperate need of a butcher, and a tanner, and a soap maker, and a cook, and a bone carver, and a chef...

I heard that there was a parasite that infected certain humans that made them like cats more than other people, and they usually end up buying loads of them. The parasite does this because it likes to live in cats so it goes off into them or something.

I can't really remember the exact story or if it's true, but it's still cool.

Only in Dwarf Fortress could you get 4 armed heads scuttling about on cavern roofs.

Actually it's the cats that carry the parasite. The point of it is to make mice more likely to take risks like heading out into the open. You can catch it from leavings.

"people infected with Toxo have slower reflexes" From the sounds of the article it causes brain lag IRL. Thankfully in Dwarf Fortress it works the other way around and more cats make you more likely to eat them rather then them eat you.

A virus that makes you like cats?
We should have put Japan in quarantine. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DRAW? DO YOU! No girl has a tail that long!

Dear god...

One of those cats looks realy sick, which isn't surprising seeing how he lives. I wish crazy cat people would bother to care for their pets.

I guess you might call it unethical to bring up
