KEY POINTS
A new study found an association between cat ownership and risk of developing schizophrenia-related disorders.
A key aspect of this relationship is the role of Toxoplasma gondii, a protozoan parasite.
Schizophrenia is a disorder influenced by many genetic and environmental factors, not just cat ownership.
Simple measures, like washing one's hands after cleaning a litter box, can help cat owners minimize the risk.
