No really, this is a real quality mole fur has
Comment on There's no wrong way to stroke it

Unless it is either perfectly perpendicular to the skin or is already somehow laying in all directions: There can only be one direction. Given a mole moves in tight spaces backwards and forward, both would make sense.

This is a mathematical problem with no solution, there has to be a cowlick on a sphere. Perhaps the mole avoids this problem by not being a sphere, where there is a possible solution

It’s very short and perpendicular to the skin. It feels like velvet.

But it’s not completely covered in fur. A partially hairy sphere doesn’t need a cowlick.

I dont remember learning about moles in math. Chemistry, yes, but I don’t think moles care much about topology.
However, if we assume an ideal mole in empty space with no air resistance, we would see how they have this property: their hair follicles would, in the absence of outside interference, stand straight up. So, its technically more accurate to say that every direction of petting a mole is equally wrong.

A topological sphere so unless moles are actually a torus then it’s still not possible.

Cowlick doesn’t go against what the post is saying
Their hair can lay in any direction at anytime
It’s not saying that you can make their hair all perfect in any direction.

Maybe their fur is like a sequin sweater
