  • Most people generally aren’t aware of the warning signs, he probably just assumed she was acting weird solely from depression and stress

    My mom’s boyfriend went through a temporary psychosis episode last winter, and for the first month or so we genuinely had no idea; we just assumed he was extra quiet/ solemn and sometimes a little grumpy. It wasn’t until we pressed on some of his behaviors that it escalated to aggression and yelling at everyone, accusing us of poisoning him and messing with his vision, accusing my mom of being an undercover agent, the dog of having cameras in her eyes, then trying to run away with his passport, etc. All of these irrational things completely out of touch from his usual self seemed to come out of nowhere. (We called a crisis hotline and got him admitted to a psych ward, which I think ultimately saved his life before it was too late)

    ANYONE of any age can experience psychosis for the first time (particularly from extreme stress, trauma, social isolation, and/or sleep deprivation); and when you enter that state you often distrust everyone around you, and so you may hide what’s on your mind. Or you may phase in and out of your psychosis, experience memory lapses of many prior mental delusions, and are trying your hardest to appear normal to others, especially if you feel obligated to remain stoic/ strong for others. And like every mental condition, there’s no universal presentation of it

    The pollution from their poop is environmentally destructive enough alone tbh. Same reason wolf poop is neutral to the environment but dog pop is a major biohazard, they harbor all sorts of foreign pathogens from cohabitation with humans and unnatural/processed food loaded in nutrients causing excess of nitrogen + changing how their guts evolved

    Also 5000 years isnt nearly enough time for an ecosystem adapt to a non-native species,

    Besides having less than half the average lifespan of indoor cats, I don’t think people realize just how damaging and invasive outdoor cats are for the environment

    One they’re insanely efficient hunters responsible for hundreds of species of birds/ smaller animals’ extinctions & endangerments; which means native predators have less food and a harder time surviving as well. Ecosystems have a delicate balance and cats due to a lottt of damage

    Two their processed diet & unnatural lifestyle around humans makes their poop full of countless harmful pathogens not native to the ecosystem; cat (and dog) poop are classified as literal biohazard pollutants by the EPA, in the same category as crude oil spills. Even by burying their poop, they contaminate the whole soil around it, eventually spreading foreign bacteria/parasites to plants -> insects -> lizards -> birds -> foxes, etc. Not to mention their poop’s nitrogen & contaminants eventually seep into groundwater -> freshwater -> the ocean -> marine life

    Letting your cat roam outdoors is arguably a shittier thing to do to our planet than littering on a regular basis, sorry not sorry
