I'm surprised I apparently need to explain myself for such an innocuous comment! I'm not in disagreement with you or the other people who have replied in a similar manner. I'm only talking about the people who smother their pets in what they deem to be affection, ignoring the obvious signs of dislike or tension mentioned in the article. You know, the people who like to drag their cats out from their hiding places or chase them down for pets and hugs when they try to run away. They're essentially helpless against our good intentions. If engagement between the pet and owner is mutual, or if the pet is actively seeking this affection, then my comment obviously does not apply. My comment only says to imagine the engagement from their point of view also.
