If that is correct, about the cat being an essential part of the life
cycle, then I understand the benefit to the parasite. The original
posting did not make this explicit.
As for spooky, yes, indeed. I have a recent book of nature photographs
depicting South American ants taken over by some kind of spore. The
ants essentially go mad, climb tall trees, attach themselves to leaves,
and die. The spores burst out of the ants' heads, grow, and fall to
forest floor, to perpetuate the cycle. Ghastly.
