I tried to explain the concept of cute aggression to someone who’s never experienced it before. It did not go well. They thought I wanted to hurt puppies.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s when you see a cute thing, like a puppy. And it makes you want to shake the puppy and hug him so tight that his body turns into liquefied puppy batter that splatters all over your face.
…I’m bad at explaining things.
Yes!
Current understanding of cat psychology is that being constrained is calming to them, so there’s a good chance that your cat enjoys being given a firm but gentle (i.e., not to goo) squeeze.
A hypothetical pet that’s basically a stress ball that loves being squished would be ideal, but a cat is pretty close!
