Still with this thread, which won't go away :-) Last night late into the evening a bunch of us sat around the garden under the stars and a young man with the unlikely name of Mustapha Baboo stroked a ginger cat named Hamish and commented that he'd only recently been 'cured' of his phobia of cats. This led to a prolonged psychological debate on the nature of unusual phobias, etc. and the upshot of it was that towards the end of last year he was very happily on E at a party and a cat came towards where he was lying on the floor, and without realizing it, he reached out and cuddled the furry little animal, which purringly curled up on his shoulder and remained there for some time. Bingo! Phobia gone. Just thought I'd throw this into the pot, while we're at it! I * " only dead fish swim with the current "
