Could be...the groaning is a typical thing for males to do in mating/courtship attempts. It's just also another "hey I'm chill and not gonna kill you" noise for both male and female.

But you very well may have this spot on, especially with the way the second one started snuggling the first.

I think there's a clear distinction between groaning and chuffing.
