Despite their reputation for being "cold" or "aloof" or "unfeeling", cats - over and over - prove that they can be incredibly affectionate. Cats love cuddling and will do so with creatures of their choosing. It's just that cats are indeed a bit choosy, but since when is having boundaries a bad thing? We don't feel like cuddling every single person who wants to cuddle us.
Cats are great cuddle buddies. We have seen a cat cuddling up with a bunch of ducklings - being gentle and careful with them to not hurt them. We have seen a cat and an otter be cuddle buddies - the very best cuddle buddies who clearly love one another. We have seen a cat cuddle a bunny who just wants affection. The fact that cats won't cuddle just anyone makes it so that when they do cuddle someone - and go as far as trusting them enough to fall asleep next to them, that just makes things all that much more special. And today's videos - of a cat cuddling with a whole bunch of chicks under their trusting mom's supervision is indeed incredibly special.
