Edit to clarify that by ‘snuggle’ i meant all pets, scritches, belly rube, squeezes, ass pats, questions about who’s the goodest, nicknaming, etc.

      This part would be cool, tell everyone they’re a good person and some of them might actually improve. But I draw the line at letting them drool on me.

    this entire thread made me question my understanding of the word snuggle, so i looked it up. nope it agreed with me. snuggling is like cuddling.

    maybe the definition has evolved recently?
    snuggling has nothing to do scritches and positive words etc.

    Listen, I understand why you’d feel that way as a modern human, but why are you glad we, as a potently social species, don’t engage in such simple bonding rituals?
