It's fascinating how many different ways we "divide" ourselves-- and the many qualifiers we use to determine our association; from national origins to what kind of pets we have. And there are SO many things that are important to different people.

I tend to like people who like cats — which is a very arbitrary qualifier, and yet there seems to me "something" (my totally subjectibve interpretation) about the sort of person whose personality is drawn to the nature and temperament of cats. Doesn't mean I shut myself off to other people, mind you.
