Has your cat ever given you the ever so gentle but strict paw on your face to stop you from cuddling them any further? Yeah... the pain is acute when that happens. Like, please, all I want is to love you, why won't you let me friggin' love you. It's a hard life, being cat owner. You have to constantly contain your all-consuming need to pet and kiss and touch the floof while also giving your cat space to be its cat self.
It's so hard. But... at least when they are feeling cuddly, it's worth it. Because lawd knows there is nothing better than those moments when your cat comes up to you and begrudgingly asks for cuddles. That- that is what being a cat owner is all about.
This is exactly what we are talking about - the very gentle yet oh so strict paw on the face. This is your warning human. Your cat is being very kind of giving you this warning. And you must take it. Otherwise, the next step would be the wiggle, and after that claws will be comin' out no matter how much this cat loves you.
Honestly, this is one patient cat, and you should count yourself lucky. It is so clear that this cat is desperately trying to stop itself from launching itself into your face and coming down that way. You know it's capable of it. You're pushing it like that only because you know this cat is too kind for this world.
