Now that\u2019s a no-brainer. If your household is like mine, your cats get hugged regularly, whether they want a hug or not, right?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve found that there are different ways to hug a cat&#8211;especially one that doesn&#8217;t want to be hugged. I often hug Lily and Sophie, simply by placing my hands over their bodies and gently pressing a couple of times. I think petting is a type of hug&#8211;at least it&#8217;s certainly acceptable as far as most cats are concerned. But our cats seem to like to be scratched behind the ear and around the neck.<\/p>\n<p>Does your cat hug you? I consider it a hug when Lily rubs against my ankles or when she&#8217;s in my lap and she butts her head against me or presses her face into the crook of my elbow. Yes, there&#8217;s many types of kitty hugs.<\/p>\n<p>If you need help figuring out how to hug your cat or you just like to see beautiful cats and kittens being loved on, you must check out this site.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/images.search.yahoo.com\/yhs\/search;_ylt=AwrTcd5weylZ2oYAXyUnnIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTEyODRhcHQ3BGNvbG8DZ3ExBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDQjM4ODlfMQRzZWMDc2M-?p=Hug+Your+Cat+Day&amp;fr=yhs-mozilla-001&amp;hspart=mozilla&amp;hsimp=yhs-001\"> https:\/\/images.search.yahoo.com\/yhs\/search;_ylt=AwrTcd5weylZ2oYAXyUnnIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTEyODRhcHQ3BGNvbG8DZ3ExBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDQjM4ODlfMQRzZWMDc2M-?p=Hug+Your+Cat+Day&amp;fr=yhs-mozilla-001&amp;hspart=mozilla&amp;hsimp=yhs-001<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While you\u2019re at it, please share selfies with you and your cat on Hug Your Cat Day. I\u2019m sharing one of my favorite pictures of a granddaughter hugging Lily on the day they first met. With diligent overseeing and mentoring, she learned the best way to hold a kitten and, as they both grew, a cat. And the two of them became fast friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday is Hug Your Cat Day. Now that\u2019s a no-brainer.
