    There are three types of pet owners:

    • Those who respect their pets’ boundaries
    • Those who squeeze their pets who are clearly hating it and fighting back
    • Those who squeeze their pets who clearly hate it until the pets’ will is broken and they resign themselves that they’re going to get hugged sometimes and it’s okay

    The first and third groupings I can get down with.

      Our cat allows it for a good 10 seconds before letting me know he wants to be released. It used to be 5 seconds so we’re making progress.

      Why are you down with #3 but not #2? The way I’m reading it, #2 necessarily has to happen before #3
