Yes, a cynical manipulator can do it deliberately as well.

No that's impossible, warm and fuzzy can't be linked to hurt and pain.

But one of them occasionally bites me. So, if a cat can be considered a person, the answer is yes.

They totally and completely misjudged my reaction to a piece of information that they would have found comforting, I found exactly the opposite.
