    You say pets but that can’t be a cat, as it would fuck you up. If they don’t want to be held, they’ll slice you.

      I have a cat that isn’t into sitting on laps, but also doesn’t realize he has claws. My MIL snuggles him when she visits no matter how much he wiggles and squirms - he’s never scratched any of us in the 7 years we’ve had him so far. Don’t worry, she only holds him for 5-10 seconds and then lets him scurry away.

      I would pull my childhood cats tail when I was like 2-3 and from what I hear she was very clearly incredibly displeased but didn’t even particularly try to get away.

      I miss her even though she’s been gone a long time.
