Cats Getting Hugged
By Ileana Paules-Bronet, Purple Clover
Most cats, even the ones who adore their owners, don't love getting hugged. They may like getting pet, but being hugged in a tight embrace isn't usually cats' favorite activity.
1. "Please Send Help"
Although this owner looks so happy to be snuggling her orange kitty, the cat looks like he just wants to get out of there!
2. "Mom, Put Me Down"
This cat looks like he's thinking, "Ugh, Mom, leave me alone." His owner, on the other hand, is having a sweet moment with her four-legged friend.
3. "I Guess This Is Fine"
Although this cat doesn't exactly look thrilled to be carried around by his human sister, he seems to have given up on trying to escape — chances are this happens pretty regularly.
4. "Please Don't Wake Me Up"
This sweet kitty looks ike he was just enjoying a nap when his human baby brother rolled over and woke him up. Now he's just hoping his brother will stop moving so he can fall back asleep.
5. "Mom, Stop"
This cat may love his mom, but he's not really into this whole snuggling in bed thing. He looks like he's saying, "Mom, stoooooop."
6. "I'm Outta Here"
This cat looks like he just found the exact moment to make his great escape from his owner's arms. If the photo were snapped a minute later, he'd be on the ground running away.
7. "Ugh"
This is definitely not the first time this cat has been almost smothered by his owner. At this point, he's just given up on ever getting away from this hug.
8. "How Did I End Up Here?!"
This cat seems totally shocked by his mom's kiss. He looks like he's thinking, "How on earth did I end up in this situation?!"
9. "OK, Bye"
This cat is clearly trying to get away from his human sister, who is holding him a little too tightly for comfort.
10. "I Guess This Is Where I Live Now"
This adorable gray cat isn't exactly unhappy about being hugged by his mom, but he doesn't look thrilled about it either.
11. "Uh Oh, I'm Stuck"
This cat seems to have just realized that he's stuck in an awkward embrace. Knowing he's not going to be freed anytime soon, he's just doing his best to stay comfortable.
12. "But Why?"
This cat seems like he was enjoying a wonderful day with his dad before he was pulled into this enrequited kiss. "Buy whyyyyy," he looks like he's thinking.
13. "I Guess I Could Sleep Here"
This cat looks like he was pulled into a sleepy hug by his owner, and decided it was a good enough place to take a nap.
14. "Is That A Bird?!"
This cat doesn't seem to mind being held by his owner, but he does look like he just spotted a bird! Now he can't take his eyes off the flying snack.
15. "Yeah, Yeah, I Love You Too, Mom"
This cat looks like he gets a loving morning hug from his mom every day, but he's kind of sick of it at this point.
16. "I'm Too Cold For This"
Not every cat hates hugs. This muticolored kitty looks like he's actually enjoying his mom's snuggles (maybe because it's so cold).
17. "Don't Make Me Walk"
This cat knows he's too special to have to walk on the ground. Instead, he'd prefer for his owner to carry him everywhere.
18. "I Love You, But..."
This cat loves his human sister, but not enough that he's willing to be squished against her while she lies in the grass.
19. "No More Pictures, Please"
This cat loves his owner so much that he's willing to do anything for her — even take a million posed pictures.
