[QUOTE="witzend, post: 670041, member: 99"] husband's mother is a cat hoarder, and it's unclear to me whether her mental illness started before or after she started stealing cats from the street and allowing them to run wild through her house. Her home has always been filthy so far as I know, but husband says that when he was a boy she was working, though not terribly intelligent. I've seen her grade school report cards, and even then they were trying ever so gently to tell her parents that she was a very sweet girl but "slow". I know that she has been diagnosed Borderline (BPD) many years ago, and is now suffering from paranoid delusions, so toxoplasmosis could certainly explain a lot. Those symptoms have been going on for 40 years or more now, though, so I imagine that her brain has been permanently damaged and there is no hope. [/QUOTE]
