2.) Yes, but that is determined for the sake of interaction with other cats. Not necessarily for your own sake. I somehow doubt that the fur was specifically designed to be "cute" but as a survival mechanism to maintain a consistent body temperature. There is probably some truth to the idea that we as a species used to have more hair, so we can find ourselves more readily attached to species that still have this fur as they more closely resembles us than, say, a reptile, for example (but this is merely a hypothesis and a slight digression). All I am saying that if you are using "I like kittens" and I was trying to just get to the notion of hypothetically how/why you like kittens.

4.) I never implied that one person's morality was more important than another's, and if I did then I apologize. I was merely saying that "I like kittens" as a definitive enough answer to the question of "morality" is a tad simplistic in this case given your mulitple uses of it, because it doesn't appear to explain all instances of "morality," especially as it relates to the original question.

2) And so?

4) That doesn't appear to be explicitly related to question you presented.  It's nonsense to declare there is any single explanation that can explain all instances of morality.  Therefore see 1).  Just because a single explanation does not provide adequate detail for all possible explanations does not invalidate that explanation as you are declaring.  To move this into the suitable levels of silly staktes: 'This can't be a table it has six legs, other tables I've seen have four legs!! It's a hexable!'  Function =/= Form an important lesson in the perceptive functional defintion of Ni<->Se versus Ne<->Si perception styles.

I decided to allow more owl into this thread.

Hello owl.

ENFPs take note:  INTJs do not find consensus through debate.  We debate for debates sake, to find additional information and to provide one another a challenge.  We keep such debate away from the personal implications and strictly along technical details.  Consensus is always found through action - such as the posting of owl pictures - never through words.  Talk is cheap.
