I don’t understand why you keep mentioning hooking up, that seems irrelevant since it’s been clarified this is not an STD. The parent comment was saying people who own cats could be more attractive on average, and people who own cats are more likely to get toxoplasmosis.

Hooking up was simply an example of why the person would be at the other person's environment.

Replace it with getting together if you're getting hung up on it. Whether or not the humans met up to have sex, talk, stand on their head, or whatever is irrelevant.

The point was house cats generally don't eat infected mice, if you're hanging out in barns or on the patio with outside cats, sure maybe.
