Huh, River never switched genders... I wonder if that's because kinda-thirdling? Or does it just depend on the timelord?

This was the best fic EVER! I love the ✨ Doctor✨ SO MUCH!

5_Vai_6 via AO3 on Chapter 50 · 2026-03-27

Hey, I saw your headline. Please stop spreading misinformation especially concerning medical data.

Yes, although there have been studies conducted analysing the correlation between developing a schizophrenia related disorders, none have been conclusive. So no, cats do not cause schizophrenia. Schizophrenia and schizophrenia related disorders can be caused by a multitude of things.

Yes, although cats are most commonly known to be a host for the parasite causing toxoplasmosis, that doesn't mean every cat has it and spreads it. If a cat eats another animal that had the parasite, they will, most likely, only pass it (the parasite) in 10-14 days after ingestion. In that case the parasite will be found in the feces if the cat. The parasite can then live on for a year and infect other warm blooded creatures. Also if a healthy adult gets toxoplasmosis it goes away in most cases without the need of treatment. If treatment is necessary medicine/drugs exists.

Hope that helps. Love, take care and stay safe.
