You forgot to say you like cats too Whirlybird!
Cats are good.
I have colourpoints. Two boys. I treasure them.
Riding is also a good hobby (but more dangerous than flying). Now for those pilot blokes out there that don't meet enough women, I suggest they learn how to ride and get down to their local stables toute suite. (I did this at University, and acquired a very interesting circle of "friends".)
I had a trial lesson in a rotary once Whirly with cab air at Elstree. The instructor's attitude there put me off rotaries completely.....and I reckon this is why a fair number of PPLs drop out. They love flying, but they run into the occasional person that puts them off.
