However, if you have a feline, you know it happens only on their terms. But this viral video of a cat freely handing out cuddles to his owner might give you some hope.

Cat lovingly agrees to cuddling ‘sad’ owner in viral video
Be it with humans or pets, cuddling is a cure-all when one is feeling down. However, it is extra warm when it is with a furry companion. Take this viral video of @mrkermitmeow, for instance, where the owner challenges fellow pet parents to tell their “cat you’re sad and see how they respond.”
The video begins with the owner asking his feline, Mr. Kermit, if he “can get cuddles” as he is “sad.” The orange cat initially ignores his calls. However, after being asked a few more times, he gives in, gets up, and lies down next to his human, purring all the way. The pet parent appropriately captioned the post, “Kermit understood the assignment.” But what’s even cuter is the cat’s response when the owner says, “You’re the best.”
The video of the cat cuddling with his owner has touched many hearts. Users expressed their thoughts in the comment section of the Instagram Reel. One person said, “He definitely understands! I love how it took him 3 to 5 business days to get up but he knew you needed the cuddles.”
Another user mentioned, “Your emotional support animal is emotionally supporting.” While an individual commented, “The cat heard ‘sad’ and went like: ‘SAD?! That’s not allowed around here, sir!!'” Cat owners were also impressed with Mr. Kermit’s affectionate nature, joking that their feline friends would probably never react similarly.
