I doubt I'll ever feel an emotional closeness with anyone again. But I have felt liked by a few 'catters, and that's pretty darn good for me. Not a 'sex' thing, but rather a sense of friendship that is neat. This site seems to do that because people to greater or lesser degrees share their souls, and it's hard not to like people who do that. So I feel a sense of 'liking' back. (Some people just dislike everyone, but they do not proliferate on the 'cat.) Stray thought.
