Pandas and lemurs

Wanda,
What Wendy said about some people needing interaction, that's important.
Did you ever spend any time with monitors? Or lemurs? Some people are like that. They're not like us. We usenet people - and I'm going by my recollection of a remark Vicki made years ago - are more likely to be introverts.
Do you think he needs companionship on a completely different level than you do? Because if that's the case, he might not understand that you need time in isolation. The whole concept might be foreign to him. Have you tried explaining it to him?
I live near a good zoo, so I'd take him to see the pandas and the lemurs and explain that I was a panda and he was a lemur. But in a pinch I'm sure I could make the same point with cats and dogs.
