I don't fall into any of those categories.

My formula is simple. Cats go out, they kill and eat, they get worms, I have to pay the vet. They get into fights, I have to pay the vet. Cats get bored indoors, so they go out – on a leash. Since we quit letting cats out I've saved certainly a thousand dollars, probably twice that – it's hard to count the fights that didn't happen.

This doesn't match any of the five, but then I'm not in England.
