Dubbed, \u201ccute aggression\u201d by a recent Yale study, the irresistible phenomenon that makes you want to squeeze a bulldog\u2019s face while screaming about his \u201chandsome wrinkle head!!!\u201d is something we all struggle with. To better understand this condition, Yale psychologists gave study participants a roll of bubble wrap and played a slide show of both adorable and run-of-the-mill photos. Needless to say, there were significantly more pops at the sight of a chubby baby trying to roll over or a kitten falling into a basket of yarn. Psychologists think this could be a protective response, or the brain\u2019s way of venting extreme feelings of giddiness and happiness. More studies are needed to see why \u201csqueezing\u201d is the preferred reaction to cute, so we\u2019ll need a shipment of tiny puppies chasing their tails, thanks.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Wine Barrel Dog Feeder\" href=\"http:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/product\/wine-barrel-dog-feeder?souce=blog\" target=\"_blank\">Wine Barrel Dog Feeder, $135\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you thought you were the only one with an insuppressible urge to squeeze the cute out of a puppy, kitten, or baby, you\u2019re not alone<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":119,"featured_media":33983,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1208],"tags":[813],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33981"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/119"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33981"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33981\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
