yeah but it's faster though. Why would a pred use words when they can just kinda grab you and smush you in with one motion? What if they're busy talking to some another pred at the same time?
You're telling me if you're at a party talking to someone else, and a pred that's twice your side sits down next to you while talking to their buddy, they should pause and convince you to start nuzzling and licking their tummy? that's so silly, they'd just reach over and pull your head across.
its efficient for your friends too. If mid-sentence you get yanked over and your face buried in fluff suddenly, then your friends know to laugh and then walk away and find someone else to talk to, no wasted time on goodbyes or anything like that :3
