Japanese Girls Share Cute "Face-Squeezing" Photos, Sparking a Trend! But It's Pets' Cheeks That Are in Vogue, Not Humans...

A Japanese female netizen (@naru_uchan) frequently shares daily aesthetic photos that resonate with many women, creating a warm and loving atmosphere. Recently, she introduced a cute and affectionate way of taking pictures: asking friends or boyfriends to pinch her cheeks while she rests her chin on her hands.

However, not everyone has friends or partners available to help with this cheek-pinching trend. As a result, netizens began pinching the cheeks of their pets instead.

This spontaneous trend led to a delightful surge of pet cheek-pinching photos. It seems that many participants, without prior agreement, decided to share pictures of them pinching their pets' faces as responses to @naru_uchan's original post. Some users humorously noted that even pets engage in cheek-pulling antics with each other. For those without pets, the creative solution was to pinch their dolls instead. The trend even escalated to include unrelated objects being pinched!

▼But some people don't have pets at home to pinch...just pinch their own dolls~

▼Even started picking up irrelevant things (?)
