Cat Refuses Owner s Attempts At Cuddling And It Has Gone Viral On The Internet

Pro member When it comes to getting attention, cats are for sure not beggars, but choosers. Humans find these little mammalian fluffballs hard to resist, and there's no surprise there. Their cute-but-stoic face, their beautiful fur and elegant poses, all of them make it seem that cats just beg to be touched. But don't make this mistake, folks. Cats, being the constant center of attention, rarely lack affection, and it's up to them to decide when they want it. Muji, this four-year-old cat from South Korea, perfectly illustrates the point. Though he is as cute and lovely as any other cat, Muji takes his alone time seriously, and shows it very expressly. Recently, one moment where Muji refused his owner's cuddles went viral on the internet, and many, especially cat owners, found it funny and relatable. So let's see what the fuss was all about. More info: Instagram Here s Muji the four-year-old tsundere cat from South Korea
Image credits: muuuuuuji For all of you baka gaijins out there, "tsundere" means "a stock love interest who is usually stern, cold, and sometimes hostile to the person they like and others. They will occasionally let slip their warm and loving feelings hidden inside. They hide their feelings due to being shy, nervous, insecure, or simply unable to help acting badly in front of their crush. The Japanese term 'tsundere refers to an outwardly violent character who 'runs hot and cold,' alternating between two distinct moods: 'tsuntsun' meaning 'aloof or irritable', and 'deredere' meaning 'lovey-dovey.'" Just recently a moment of Muji and its owner went viral on the internet
Image credits: muuuuuuji There he was just chilling on the counter when the owner approached to cuddle
Image credits: muuuuuuji Image credits: muuuuuuji Muji was very reluctant
Image credits: muuuuuuji Image credits: muuuuuuji Image credits: muuuuuuji Ok this is getting old
Image credits: muuuuuuji Aaand I m out
Image credits: muuuuuuji Note the look of defeat from the owner. We re done here please let me go
Image credits: muuuuuuji But maybe Muji just didn t feel like it that time Let s try that again
Image credits: muuuuuuji Image credits: muuuuuuji Image credits: muuuuuuji I thought I told you bro
Image credits: muuuuuuji Do you wanna get slapped
Image credits: muuuuuujiThere's a reason why cats don't like to cuddle sometimes. First of all, they might consider it disrespectful. Imagine doing your thing and then getting kidnapped for no reason! Second, humans sometimes don't realize how big they look to cats-sometimes the experience may be too smothering for their liking. Some cats also didn't socialize much with humans in their younger days, so they might even consider it an act of threat. Muji s has a ginger sibling cat named Makji
Image credits: muuuuuuji And as you might guess Makji also gets on Muji s nerves
Image credits: muuuuuuji I sense his presence
Image credits: muuuuuuji Image credits: muuuuuuji Stop interrupting my zen
Image credits: muuuuuuji Just a random idea, but these two cats would for sure be a good duo in some sort of anime. Imagine a silly ginger 'deredere' cat with an arrogant, white 'tsuntsun' cat: the adventures they would have, the interactions, the dialogue… It would be epic. Anyway. One could only wish for it. Let's hope this hilarious moment between them might spark an idea to someone who's able to execute it. Despite these impressions Muji wants warmth and affection just like any other cat
Image credits: muuuuuuji But unlike other cats Muji likes solicited snuggles and prefers to ask for them
Image credits: muuuuuuji Image credits: muuuuuuji Image credits: muuuuuuji Image credits: muuuuuuji Image credits: muuuuuuji Just don t interrupt Muji when he s meditating

This was my wake-up time. I always slept on my stomach, so I would wake up to purring directly in my ear, and the paw kneading on my back. This was my cat wanting snuggles and attention from being lonely all night. My cat also had a very specific table that he sat on, that he signaled me to basically play with him. 2 2points reply Mary Zabora Mary Zabora Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago I get a head bump when it's time to feed her in the morning.

They will melt in your arms soon to read their body language and not press it. Just set there with them and as long as it takes without startling the animal. Good Luck. You can also Google questions.

Emma Eller Emma Eller Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago If I may, I agree that breeding animals with genetic health problems purely for looks is a terrible thing to do, but there are many of these cats that are already alive regardless of ethics. They deserve loving homes just as much as a cat without these health issues. Rather than attacking people who give them love while they're living this life with us, maybe turn that anger toward ways to stop the people who DO bring them into this world forcefully. Scoffing at the existence of an animal that didn't ask to be here won't stop the problem. 15 15points reply Nancy Delgado Nancy Delgado Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Very well put. Is that poster no idea what the name is) but what makes you think they are in constant pain..and overbred? NONE of your statements make ANY sense, and they are ridiculous.. Do you think you are an expert? It's best if you DON'T make any dumb comments!! 1 1point reply Nancy Delgado Nancy Delgado Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago I don't normally say the things I did, we all have opinions, but posters statement ere derogatory about the poor, but beautiful cat. I've been around different and exotic cats all my life, and I have NEVER heard those comments about ANY breed. 1 1point reply Aran Lindvail Aran Lindvail Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 9 months ago Posting articles and pictures showing how "cute" those overbred cats are without any mention of the debilitating condition they suffer from (osteochondrodysplasia) WILL inspire reactions such as the post fromTerry Tobias and encourage people to buy those breeds. So just go away with your appeasement please. -3 -3points reply Emma Eller Emma Eller Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago I'd really rather not. Just like you, I have every right to post my opinion on these matters regardless of if you agree with me or not. I apologize if my thoughts upset you in any way, but no matter how these pets came into this world, a loving owner will still want to post pictures of their furry family like anyone else. If people are so "inspired" to go out and get these cats directly from a breeder (which is expensive, mind you) they should do the research on the breed. The anger and cynicism behind your statements is valid, but you'll likely get further by turning it toward stopping those who are breeding them, not those who are already caring for them. I do discourage people actively seeking to adopt them, and while pictures of these cats may spark a want for other people toward this breed, I can't tell the owners not to post. I'd be equally as upset if someone tore into me for posting pictures of my huskies because they have a higher risk of hip dysplasia later in life. 0 0points reply Patti Needham Patti Needham Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Shut the hell up! Constant pain? Tree hugger wants everyone to rescue a shelter cat!! 0 0points reply Emma Eller Emma Eller Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago (edited) Turning to the other end of this argument, I'll have to ask everyone with a similar opinion to Miss Patti's to maybe take a moment and consider both sides have pros and cons. So long as breeders aren't bringing cats into this world knowing that they come with health issues such as cartilage deficiency, the known breed history can be helpful in caring for your cat (or any other animal) in the future. On the other hand, cats that find themselves in shelters are just as deserving of loving homes as those with pedigrees and whatever highly desired breeds that come from breeders. I wouldn't call people who prefer shelter rescues tree huggers, but rather other kind people who choose to give shelter cats a second chance at life with a family. Lashing out at either side does no one any good, and only serves to create more mindless drama to fuel the fire of social media. Everyone has a right to their choices and opinions, but keeping a level head is better for not only everyone around you, but yourself as well. 8 8points reply Jyndaru Jyndaru Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Thank you, Emma, for using common sense and understanding that these cats aren't to blame simply for being bred. All cats deserve a loving home, regardless if their breed is inherently angry or unhealthy. Humans should not punish them simply for existing, especially when it's humans who breed them. We should give them all good homes, while still fighting to stop the breeding of certain unhealthy animals. 6 6points reply Emma Eller Emma Eller Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Of course, and thank YOU for your supporting words. We can only hope others see the same sense. Hiding behind a screen and letting cynicism boil isn't helpful. Maybe some will turn that attention to actually doing something to stop the things that anger them, or at least help support organizations dedicated to stopping harmful breeding. 1 1point reply Saira Khan Saira Khan Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago This comment is hidden.

Causing something to be in pain because you like the way they look is just selfish cruelty. For anyone that doesn't know, cats with folded ears look like this because they have a genetic weakness of the cartilage. Their ears basically collapse under their own weight. This weakness affects all cartilage in their body, not just ears, leading to joint problems and chronic pain. 30 30points reply Sarah watson Sarah watson Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago So how do you know this isn't a rescue from a shitty breeder, or any other situation besides they bought him from a breeder and promote the breed. 16 16points reply Load More Replies...

I don't see the need to tell people not to take pictures of the furry family members they love purely because you don't agree with their existence. I've never personally sought out specific breeds, but if I happened upon one of these little ones in a shelter, I wouldn't turn away or refuse to take pictures of them because that would just be cruel. Let people share photos of the pets they already have and love and maybe turn your ire toward those who actively breed them, not the people who're caring for those living beings. 1 1point reply john jo john jo Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago "Causing something to be in pain because you like the way they look...", ie: put women in high heels, girdles, bras, etc. 0 0points reply Incitatus Incitatus Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 9 months ago We put ourselves in these contraptions.

I've never personally sought out specific breeds, but if I happened upon one of these little ones in a shelter, I wouldn't turn away or refuse to take pictures of them because that would just be cruel. Let people share photos of the pets they already have and love and maybe turn your ire toward those who actively breed them, not the people who're caring for those living beings. 1 1point reply john jo john jo Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago "Causing something to be in pain because you like the way they look...", ie: put women in high heels, girdles, bras, etc. 0 0points reply Incitatus Incitatus Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 9 months ago We put ourselves in these contraptions.
