Poison

Latino made the mistake of reading an article about Toxoplasmosis gondii, the parasite that can be transmitted via cat litter. He became concerned about the safety of having cats in the house. He started referring to the cats as "poisonous", and saying that we better get rid of them because they are going to poison us. I sometimes hear him muttering under his breath, "poisonous cats".

I have had a long history of being unable to keep orchids alive. After my third orchid was on its death bed, I told Latino that I don't think this house is for orchids. He said, "You just need to get rid of the cats and the orchid will be fine. The cats are poison!" I assured him that the problem must actually be with me. He insisted that if I were to just get rid of the cats, everything would be fine with the plants. I guess we will never know.
