Oh, this is an interesting thread.

I'd like to point out that Toxoplasmosis is a parasitical disease, caused by a parasite, not a bacteria. It is also capable of causing blindness. It can also attack the brain, and some cats who have this go crazy and become aggressive and have to be destroyed. It is interesting that it is the dopamine that is affected.

Cat Scratch Fever, however is another thing: caused by the bacteria Bartonella.
