Ok, so I don't enjoy being touched as a general rule. It's usually physically pretty uncomfortable. I super hate being caressed or rubbed or massaged. Animals have the right idea; snuggling on or next to me without a lot of movement is great.
Scar just laid down with me and put a paw on my hand. I told Shaun it felt glowy and he didn't know what I meant. It doesn't tickle. It's not goosebumps. It's warm and really pleasant and when this happens I don't want to move because that'll ruin it. I could almost say my skin is horny or happy. I don't know how else to describe it, but it's a feeling I've gotten on and off throughout my life and I guess I never really tried to verbalize it before. I get this feeling from various situations; it's not exclusive to animals or even living things. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Shaun sure doesn't.
