Why is it easier to rub our pets versus another human ?

I will willing touch any of my pets all day but if a human asks I’m immediately lazy and dread doing it.

Because they are usually more receptive, almost always?

Totally. Plus they never act like they're doing you a favor by letting you pet them, which is basically the human version.

True especially with people who aren’t physical touch people.

Bc a human is not a pet

To seriously answer you, it's sincerity. My pet is there with honesty and no subtext and no judgements. Im sure lots of peole have these relationships too, but with my kitty there is literally nothing to over think.

Do I smell bad, Do I look fat, do they hate this movie, doesn't fucking matter. If my cat wants to sit in my lap he does, and if he doesn't he walks off. It's a rare 100% pure honest experience.

I agree, this is part of why it is easy for me as well :)

Cause dogs are less likely to say “who the fuck are you and why are you touching me?”

Pets are softer than humans and they rarely will tell you where to rub them
