How can you resist this?

Fur rug in front of a fireplace? You're right, it looks snuggly.

I dunno, where's the fun of rubbing your face in a belly when there's not the potential for said face to be shredded by claws?

He's a puppy and teething so he has a crocodile mouth right now

I got you up a few.

Thanks. You're the best (except for yiurvcat love of course).

We all have our faults. I'm sorry you prefer dogs. I can't prefer mine, my cats would kill me in my sleep.

Told ya.

They have a plan. Lull us in with their innocent looking faces and soft squishy bellies and then BAM... murder claws.

Here's to one full week of very confused MFP'ers experiencing very conflicted feelings about "woo"s.

I rarely use the reaction to begin with, so even with this challenge, I'm being careful about only hitting those who are asking for them. I think anyone who posts in this thread is likely to take them on, at least within the thread. It's been a bit of a troublesome reaction button from the beginning.

I haven't been here long, so I cannot speak from personal observation, but from what I have witnessed thus far, I agree. And I really respect your consideration and mindfulness when using the "woo". (:

That being said, would you prefer a "woo" to your previous posts in this thread, or should I be wary and go for the more direct "hug" or "like"? Help me help you.

It doesn't really matter. I've been around long enough that I don't take much of anything too personally. I was here before the woo button became a thing. To be honest, it really helped crack down on some of the dog piles that would then devolve to kitten gifs. It did help in some ways, but also caused some serious hurt feelings, which is too bad because we never really know what the other users intent was. It was frequently misunderstood, misinterpreted, and misused.

My purpose for this thread was really for people to have some fun with it, before it disappears.

In an effort to be a jerk, I just hugged everyone.

Chaotic evil.

Just noticed I only have 595 woos. Feeling so relatively non-controversial. LOL

I'm over 700 already! :laugh:

I'm still far more upset that my 'awesomes' became 'hugs' than I'll ever be about 'woos'.

It doesn't bother me as much as it used to. When it first rolled out it felt creepy. Then I found out that it bugs @TackleWasher and I decided it wasn't so bad after all!
