"Scientists examined the places where indoor cats spend their time, especially on furniture and the floor. A groundbreaking government study found "significant association" between the cat illness and certain flame retardants.

"A lifetime of pricey pills can treat the disease, but Wackerbarth used a one-time radiation injection that he says kills only the bad cells without the thyroid."

has over 80 chemicals in it (including neurotoxins). I get neuro symptoms from the fumes and can't imagine what it does to our animals and small children.

And more people, like us, are keeping their kitties inside exclusively, so that makes things worse.
