    Speaking of touching hair, this isn’t really related but what are you supposed to do when holding a baby?
    Like I held my family members baby the other day at Thanksgiving and my brain just defaulted to petting their nearly bald head like my cat 😭

      I think that’s normal, actually. Little kids like affection and caressing their bald head qualifies. I’m not sure what age that ends, though.

      I don’t have kids, but a friend of mine that does commented I sway while carrying a cat in the way someone holding a baby does.

      I guess that’s more proof part of the domestication that went on with cats is that they somehow signal “baby” to our minds.

      It makes sense it goes the other way too.
