My main old cat *sometimes* wants extra attention in the morning when I am getting up. As if to say: "You still here? Good. Now, pet me, (reaching out with a paw) and don't stop until I say stop." I think it is a daily hormone cycle thing, actually. Taking some time, holding and petting a cat without a t-shirt on is one of those underrated good things/secret pleasures in life. Other people just hunt for fleas in their buffalo blankets, I guess.

durox:"You've roused my curiosity enough to find out if there are tribes of people that go around completely naked or just partially."

Well, I think some well-adjusted Finns and other Scandinavians sauna unisex. It's a costly airline ticket, but the beaches in Denmark and Meditterainean France have some nudity... You may not need to go to the Mississippi beaches to get the National Geographic natural simplicity. Do American indians customarily wear clothing in their ?sweat lodges?

duroc:" I do think however that it is a learned behavior rather than an inborn one."

Well, if so, that clothing, belt-wearing "modesty" was learned by me well before my earliest memories.
