    “Of course I get offended when I’m on my way to rest on my favorite blankie and the greasy primate decides to molest me with their greasy primate paws, which is why I make it a point to make them watch while I clean the defiled part of my body. But do they ever learn? NO!

    No, if my wife touches my hair I have to fix it. It feels wrong otherwise.

    They’re doing the same thing.

    That’s what tou get for not asking permission to touch first. Always squat, extend a hand, and let them sniff and approve first! Consent matters =_=

    This is actually the cat being interested and curious as to who touched them, not a sign of rejection. If a cat doesn’t want to get touched, you won’t touch it.

    Hey it could be worse - if you touch me I get the shivers of disgust, very visibly. I still feel kinda sorry for that random person who accidentally slightly brushed my arm when they sat next to me in the train years ago
