I don't think people like cat pee, I think its that some (most?) of us don't perceive it, like the cilantro thing. I use simcoe some and drink commercial beers with it and try very hard to detect cat pee and just can't. Lucky.
I get satisfaction out of brewing and generally making my own food and drink. I also garden extensively, keep bees, have an orchard and hop yard, ferment kim chi, suarkraut, etc, make mead and cider, and am an avid (and former professional) cook. I say get satisfaction because I feel I get a lot out of all that work: delicious and healthier food and drink, exercise, and a ceratin spiritual connection to the seasons, land, and ingredients that myself and other humans, plants, and animals contributed too that I don't get from store bought "products". That being said I don't like all of the processes. I don't particularly like cleaning up when I brew and can definitely find making wort and packaging beer, even kegging, to be a PITA. I think cooking is the only thing I tend to enjoy start to finish.
