Allegedly, it’s piggybacking off some evolutionary tribalism instinct to protect our species’ young. But the instinct went too hard, so we want to preserve everyone else’s young too, like puppies and kitties.

Oh gosh no, it’s not like that. It’s more like that feeling when you get really really frustrated at something and you get a tense and angry feeling in your chest. That is what it’s like sometimes when I look at my bunny because she’s very small, soft, and extremely cute.
I feel that kind of violence every time I look at my tiny girl bunny. She’s so cute I want to hit something lol
It’s got a name!

For me it’s squeezing the thing until it pop.
