SNUGGLY CATS WHAT IS NOT TO LIKE

I love this photoset, but don’t get how people get their cats to like/love each other.  In my experiences, just getting the cats to tolerate each other is a major headache.

I don’t think it’s always a matter of getting anyone to like each other, it’s just that some people like each other and some don’t, and relationships are complicated and sometimes change over time. That’s no different for cats than humans.

My parents made no special effort to get our cats to like each other when I was growing up, and they developed all the same range of love and hate that humans have.

Also probably 70% of these pictures are actually of cats fighting, it’s just when caught in the midst of a wrassle it can look exactly like a “hug". Cats aren’t people.

(Youneedacat reply starts here)

Very few of them look like fighting to me. (Like only one or two maybe. Not even close to seventy percent.) Cats actually intertwine limbs when forming relaxed and snuggly catpiles too.
