Brain parasites carried by cats are causing people to post cat memes on the internet, thereby making it more likely that people will find cats adorable and adopt them, giving the parasite a chance to reproduce with a fresh crop of uninfected hosts.

A letter to hikergirl
whiskeyrobot:
You have this wisdom about you that I can sense even through the internet.
You inspire me to write love poems to science!
