I unabashedly answered YES to many of those statements. The one that really hit home was does your desire to collect cats intensify during stress? I had no idea it might be a universal trait and not just individualistic. Something happened last week that was most upsetting and my immediate response was "I need more cats". I mean, as soon as I got off the phone call that brought me the stressful news, those were the first words out of my mouth!!!! You must be psychic, girl!!!!
