why do most domestic animals enjoy being petted?
In: Biology
Imagine when you get a hug from someone you love, it makes you feel really good and safe, right? Well, for animals like dogs and cats, being petted is kind of like getting a hug from us. It’s a way of showing them we care about them. When we pet them, it can also remind them of when they were little babies and their mom would lick and groom them. This makes them feel loved and comfy. Plus, petting feels nice on their skin and can help them relax, just like when someone plays with your hair and it feels super calming.
