When We See Something Cute, Why Do We Want to Squeeze It?
The aggressive urge some people get when they see an adorable animal or baby may be connected to our emotional health.
By Liz Langley, National Geographic
PUBLISHED OCTOBER 10, 2015

The first step is admitting you have a problem. A very cute problem.

“Why, when something is adorable, do we get the urge to squeeze it and squish it?” National Geographic's own Emily Tye asked Saturday’s Weird Animal Question of the Week. “Seems dangerous, evolutionarily speaking!”

Rest assured, Emily:
you’re not alone.

In a 2015 study in Psychological Science, Yale University psychologist Oriana Aragon and team found that people who have extremely positive reactions to images of cute babies also “displayed stronger aggressive expressions,” such as wanting to pinch the babies' cheeks.

Can't blame the guy...sometimes, the urge to squeeze is irresistable!

Probably because he doesn't have any...although my friend's long furred cat loves to nuzzle my head and sniff my hair.  In his case, I think he wonders how we humans can go around with hardly any fur.  And they can't understand that we clean our fur with soap and water instead of using our tongues. 

By the way, I need this thread today after following all the sad news and yakking about the Las Vegas tragedy.  Thank you for keeping this thread going today.

You're welcome, @Applewood. 

Interesting points on cats' perspective on humans.  I hadn't thought of that before.
