Maybe it's related to catattractiveosis, which, as I have already hypothesized, is caused by keeping a steady supply of tasty morsels cats like. So people who stock up on tasty meats, poultry, and seafood have a lower risk of heart attack AND a higher Cat Attraction Index.
Maybe we should dump the Glycemic Index and replace it with the CAI.
(The health benefits of carnivory might, however, be counterbalanced by the stress of always trying to keep a determined cat off the counter when one is preparing dinner. Bad kitty!)

Maybe it's the toxoplasmosis.
