Hi Martin, that's why I said "not" receiving animals.mammals.cats.  There are cases we'd want to subscribe to an *exact* topic.  ZeroMQ's prefix topic matching is similar to AMQ's topic.prefix.# pattern matching.  But AMQ by default let you do exact topic match so that animals.mammals will only match animals.mammals.
