Clingy cats are adorable cats. Following their humans around like meowing, tiny shadows, velcro kitties are revered as the holy grail of cat adoptions. Often ruining future cats for their hoomans, clingy cats cuddle, they snuggle, and they give whisker kisses to infinity and beyond that make their owner feel like the most special human being on earth. 

If you're chosen by a stage 5 clinger, count your lucky stars. 

However, as many cat aficionados also understand, some cats are clingy for reasons beyond affection and attention. Sometimes, cats follow us around because their injurred or uncomfortable, which makes many folks wish they spoke in meows or spend $99.99 on that cat communication module they saw on late-night TV. 

While we'll never know exactly what our cats are thinking, this cat lover turned their concern for a velcro kitty into a bounty of wholesome answers online, learning more from strangers on the interweb than they ever would from the cat instruction manual everyone receives upon adoption. 

As it turns out, some cats just love us beyond belief, and they need to be with their humans at every golden oppawtunity.

  • My cat is obsessed with me

    Hi everyone. This is my cat, Fish. She is the sweetest cuddliest girl, although she sometimes has an issue smacking hands etc but she's a rescue so could be past issues who knows.

  • flickanelde Your cat's facial structure suggests that your cat may be neuro-divergent, which could explain her extra emotional dependence on you.

  • Although this woman was once concerned about her velcro cat's behavior, she was reassured that Fish was just like any normal clinger, making many jealous of the cutest cuddles and the sweetest head nuzzles. The cure for cat loneliness is 24/7 love, attention, and kitty kibbles. What more could a cat need in this world? 

    Purrhaps, Fish will be demanding all of his hooman's free time from now until the end of his days, but she loves him so much, she'll be happy to oblige his little lordly demands. As many cat lovers would be…

    So count your blessings, PieceofCauliflower, because your kitty cutie is one in a billion, and you should be honored that a cat so clingy chose to be the static sock to your flannel, the magnet to your fridge, and the second pea in your pod.
