It has a spotty early history and seems to have been a nursery word at first. Related: Cuddled; cuddling.

Cuddle is an extended play by the American punk rock band Stikky. It was released on 7-inch vinyl in Switzerland only in August 1988 through Off the Disk Records.
The extended play was recorded, mixed, and engineered in 4 hours at Art of Ears Studios in San Francisco, California on May 29, 1988. Due to many fans in the United States requesting copies of Cuddle, the group re-released it through bassist Chris Dodge's label Slap a Ham Records in October 1988.
Cuddle was an outstanding New Zealand Thoroughbred racemare that won a large number of major races including the 1935 and 1936 Auckland Cups in race record time. She went to Australia in 1936, where she won a number of races including the Doncaster Handicap.
Cuddle was a filly foaled in 1929 by the good racehorse and sire, Psychology (GB) out of the place-getter, Caress (NZ) by the leading sire, Martian.
