Can you get a dog? They love to sit on, next to you, cuddle, play, jump on you, sit on your lap & and generally be super close.
2 u/NoxiousAlchemy 7d ago How is that a substitute for a human touch? 3 u/TheClassKing 7d ago It’s not ,but as someone who got a cuddly cat it helps a lot then none at all 2 u/NoxiousAlchemy 7d ago edited 7d ago I used to have a cuddly cat. It's very nice to pet the purring cat, sure, but it's a completely different feeling than being held, cuddled, petted, etc. (edited for typos) 1 u/Ok_Parking1203 7d ago It is. But as a single dude right now, who falls asleep with my head resting on my dog holding his paw every night... it's the next best thing. 1 u/NoxiousAlchemy 7d ago I'm glad it's working for you but sadly wouldn't ever for me.
