This would explain why the high school joke was always "going to grow up to be the old lonely cat lady". There's a difference between owning a couple cats and living alone in a house with twenty of them... I've always considered a legit cat lady to have 8+ cats and live by themselves. Not to mention, having a lack of contact with the outside world.

The bacteria that causes the illness may have a little to do with it, but there are definitely outside forced. You cannot put someone alone in a house for weeks and weeks with nothing but cats to talk to and expect them to remain all that sane.
