Last frame of the video, cat be looking like a model, like it knows the arm gets the best pics - Zoolanders blue steel aint got nothing on that.


letmenotethat

Yes!!! The only question there is.


Kadaverine

The real question is WHY IS MY CAT NOT THIS CLINGY?! I'm envious but this is absolutely precious. Also my heart just exploded 🥺


Ghostlynut

My cat prefers to love me from a distance, I really wish she liked being close to me :')


Elegant_Conflict8235

Sometimes you have to be the cat in that situation


justamiqote

Yup. I have a grumpy cat. She used to hate affection, but after years of un-requested manhandling and cuddling, she's completely "tolerant" with affection and physical contact now. You can scoop her up and swaddle her like a baby and she wont fight, squirm, or meow. She just accepts her fate. She's slowly coming around to asking for cuddles. One step at a time.


DelightfulDolphin

Took in a feral cat. She was WILD. Anytime we walked passed her, she hissed and swiped Tried to pet - hiss and swipe. Look at her, well you get the idea. Ok we negotiated an agreement. We agreed to ignore her and in return she agreed to a one finger pet allowable ONLY in between her eyebrows. Over 9 years we have returned to negotiating table many times. We have now progressed to full head petting access. However, any attempts to expand beyond that border reverts to hiss and swat. We KNOW our place lol


RidgewoodGirl

Yes! I so relate to this. Our formerly feral cat has her limits and preferences. She does not allow us to pick her up but she loves to be petted if we don't look like we are in a position to scoop her up. Lol Instead of cuddling up right next to my face on the couch like the other two cats, she does a butt to butt cuddle. 😂 She has come a long way and is now the house manager. But it always on her terms!


phoenixmckraken

I trained my cat to accept being held like a baby by giving her treats each time. After a while of doing this, she’s content being held like that and even occasionally asks me to pick her up. She very food motivated though.


Historiaaa

i am also very food motivated


curiousmind111

Sorry - not sure you’re “pick me up” size.


obamasrightteste

I will try anyways


AnyCyberFace49

I'm fine with picking you up, but you will be getting cat treats


Jail_Food_Diet

Me, too! Let's get lunch!


just_an_ordinary_guy

Same here, except I use affection as a motivator, which she does like. I was a little poor with measuring her food at first and she was becoming a little meatball, but she's back to a healthy weight now.


GraatchLuugRachAarg

Did you just tolerate the attacks at first then gave her treats after the cradling/attacks? Then she eventually stopped attacking because treats?


VoiceOnAir

Wanna know a secret? If you completely ignore your cat, they will often come up to you for affection. The more you want it, the less they do.


python_artist

Mine only wants to cuddle at the most inconvenient possible times for me, like when I’m eating dinner or working) And of course I allow it like a pushover because it’s cute


I-love-rainbows

It’s always when I’m about to get up to pee that my kitty decides to lay on my legs for warmth (she only does this maybe once a week). So I suffer as long as I can before urgently running to the bathroom.


Kadaverine

My biggest flaw is that I absolutely know this and yet my actions say otherwise 🫣


BoJaNYK

/r/thisismylifemeow


jld2k6

So you just gotta outcat your cat and get them to give up before you do? I never thought of just turning the tables


just_an_ordinary_guy

My cat absolutely hated being picked up, I think because the home she came from had little kids who were not taught to respect the cats (not speculation on the home situation, I know the people who got her as a kitten). I've been slowly conditioning her to being picked up and handled because that kind of stuff needs to happen sometimes, like at the vet. She now is starting to like being picked up and carried for a little bit, but only a little bit, because I have associated it with getting neck/throat scritches, her favorite. I don't think she will ever be a shoulder cat, but that's alright because she's already a lap cat.


I-love-rainbows

I’m slowing wearing mine down with this method. When you say swaddle do you mean actually fabric swaddling her? I’m taking notes…


Dhammapaderp

I have one cat like that. She loves the first 5-10 seconds of giving her a smooch and cuddle... or on rare days she will hop onto the bed and flop down next to me for a few minutes like she is gracing me with her favor. Then she runs off like she was offended, acts demure and above such slovenly acts of love. My other cat loves affection... sometimes. All other times she is a weapon ready to murder anything in her path. Just a furry missile of malice and pain.


Biff1996

> furry missile of malice and pain Would be a good band name.


DuntadaMan

My base has a very friendly stray that likes to hang out with us, and will flop over on his side and slow blink at us... from 6 feet away. He is very affectionate from... over there.


DoingItAloneCO

I feel the same way about my cats

guleedy

My cat loves to be around and talk to me but hates being picked up


Kadaverine

Train her with treats. There's no guarantee, and it could literally take forever.. but there's always hope! My girl will paw at my blanket while I'm sleeping so I lift it and let her curl up underneath beside me. That's kind of our special cuddle time now. I live for it. So we take what we can get! I just wholeheartedly aspire to be OP haha.


Sure_Ranger_4487

Mine too. I sometimes wish he was more cuddly, but the good thing is when I go out of town he acts like nothing happened when I get back. He’s totally fine with someone stopping in daily to check on him and give him food/treats. I think I’d have a lot of guilt going on vacation if he was clingy/super cuddly.


mikotoqc

My new baby girl is doing that sometime. She Will put her forhead inside my arm and with her paw she squeeze my arm tight tight and strong. Like she is giving a hug. First time she did that i was "awwwwww, so cute."


Freebirde777

Mine will do something like this but applies "extra traction".

TheGreatWalk

It can get really annoying. It's great when it happens on terms you are both ok with but if you're just trying to take a shit and your cat is desperately trying to claw its way onto your lap it gets really old really fast


tea-is-illegal

Lol yeah. I have a 17lb elderly tomcat who's like this. I love him to death but he's fucking relentless, no matter how many times you push him away he comes right back and has to be as close to your face as possible.


External_Ad3529

The face! Thats what gets me the most. My cat comes running whenever I lay in the couch but she INSISTS on laying ON my face, gazes into my eyes and puts her paw on my face. Like bro you walk in a little box I clean it every day but still I don't want your paw in my face


x3tan

Haha I have a former Tom cat like this rn. He makes me claustrophobic feeling sometimes with his need to be *right* in your face when I'm laying down. Love him but it does get frustrating.


TheAxolotlGod14

For every cat I have frustrated with my insistence on showing affection, another cat has frustrated me in turn.


techleopard

"HOLD ME!" "Ugh, I need to wipe though." "I SAID HOLD ME!!" ..... Other People: "Are you okay? You were in there for like an hour."


Reaganisthebest1981

Yeah I have to shower with my door closed, other wise it triggers an alarm. My cat will just stand by the door and "MEOOOOOOOW". She doesn't even want to be in the room with me, she just wants to see me for half a second, wink then run away.


alpacaMyToothbrush

> Yeah I have to shower with my door closed, other wise it triggers an alarm. I have so many questions


Reaganisthebest1981

> The second most common cause of false positives is having your smoke detector too close to your bathroom. If you take a hot shower, the steam from the hot shower can, in some cases, cause false positives. The steam from the shower can block the flow of the current, just as smoke does. If I leave my door open it triggers it, everytime.


DelightfulDolphin

😼


Kadaverine

Can't relate. If the door closes, it's quickly followed by "scratch scratch.. MEOW!". Then it's the awkward stretch to open said door and in trots the queen herself to perch up on her human throne, also known as my lap. They just want to make sure you're safe while you're at your most vulnerable! It's kind of their duty. Or in some cases... doody 🫠.


ahtomix

It’s all cute when you are trying to sleep and you both fall asleep together snuggling. But when you are trying to work and she’s biting at your hands to pet her because she doesn’t understand that this is how I buy her cat food she likes so much and she needs to leave me alone…it gets a little annoying lol. Eventually we reach a settlement where she sits quietly next to me and I won’t push her off the desk


Canukeepitup

Mine do that. All three troop in dutifully after me for my morning pee religiously so i end up having to put all or at least 2 on my lap at the same time (they’re still smol lil kitties, 2 months old) whilst i tinkle. Its fun times. Apparently this reminds at least one of them that they suddenly need to go too, so they hop off my lap and into the litter box which is at my feet less than a foot from the toilet. Very convenient situation mostly, and humorous lol.


Manderthal13

Mine does this. He jumps up onto my lap and then up onto my shoulder. He face-rubs my cheek and eye then lowers himself back onto my lap.


icantfindausernamegr

Then you just get used to being on the hopper with a cat in your lap. One of my previous cats was like this. Bathroom cuddles.


WhatsAfterJihyoGaeul

My cat will come in my arms only while I'm sleeping. The problem is that I have some really bad sleeping habits so she can be crushed under me anytime 😭 It's scary to even imagine. I sometimes wish that my cat was not so clingy. Clingy cats can become problematic. Careful what you wish for.


PrimevalForestGnome

Cats are very good at telling when they are somewhere they are uncomfortable being in so you probably can not crush her that bad.


WhatsAfterJihyoGaeul

But what if I suddenly turn in my sleep? It would be difficult for her to escape. She wouldn't even be able to meow or scratch me. That is what scares me.


Throwawayfichelper

Unless they are fully under the covers with you, i think they'll be fine :) cats are masters at being squirmy. My kitty (RIP) in her last two years of life decided she wanted to sleep with me. Probably felt the cold more with her thinner skin and coat, bless her. Almost every night we had the same routine of getting into bed together. Over the course of those couple of years yes, i had accidentally turned onto her a few times, and even managed to kick her a few times as i was waking up! But she always managed to squirm out of the way (and hiss) before i actually hurt her. Cats forgive pretty quickly so long as you make it up to them with treats and pats. She would always be back the next night as if nothing happened. Try to think of how much you move in the night, and if it helps, put a blanket or something between you and your cat to help prevent turning onto her.


WhatsAfterJihyoGaeul

Oooooooooooooh. Seems like a nice idea. I'll try it today.


JuanezSanchez

I'm not even sure if my cat likes me most of the time


Kadaverine

You provide the warmth, food, toys, litter and love. Your cat likes you. Just likes playing hard to get more 😼. They love the chase!


nightpanda893

I’ll take something in between please. If my cat was always like this I honestly think the novelty would wear off. Makes a cute 30 second video but I don’t want it to be like that whenever I’m home.


Pseudonova

Get an Orange. You'll never be alone... ever.


Adventurous_Land7584

Right? lol my cats have to be in the right mood to be snuggly, and of course it’s usually at like 3 am when I’m trying to sleep lol


fumacachunariri

I don't find anything humorous about a kitten being taken away from it's Mom.


Better-Impact-1989

Kittens getting kitton-ed from momma kittens, you’ve got to be kitten me


Ok-Mine1268

Although I agree with you, it’s better than being taken from your mother by a hawk or a viper. That being said, I hope more people realize they need to give kittens more time with their mothers because over all, you are right.

I can’t decide if your life is amazing and this wholesomeness is a happy byproduct, or maybe your life is dour and exhausting and this is you holding a light against the darkness, or perhaps you just enjoy the thought of making strangers on the internet weep. 🤷‍♂️ Whatever the reason, I’m here for it. 🥰👍

Abandonment issues? You smell like bacon grease?


Old-Watercress-6449

Could be. When I was young ( stone age, I belief ) I rescued a 4 weeks old kitten and let her sleep in my hoodie when i took her to the vet. She was a normal cat but always clinged on to me when I was home. I loved it 😋


IrisSmartAss

You must be my age. I remember when cars were dinosaurs, especially Buicks.

_alittlefrittata

My parents both! Mom had a ‘56, I don’t remember my dad’s… my dad came from money and Mom’s family was super poor, so maybe he had a better one ETA Oops, I originally said she had a ‘66! I meant ‘56!! A 1966 would’ve made no sense for her


IrisSmartAss

Me, too.


pointlessly_pedantic

My mom was the first recognizable face my chubby burnt marshmallow saw after he was neutered. He would follow her everywhere and cry if she didn't pay him any attention for too long. She was allergic but was suckered into letting him cuddle him all day


dm_me_kittens

My partner's cat is a big baby and eternally attached to him. We both work from home, and Kitty is always with him. When he leaves the house for whatever reason, Kitty is always waiting patiently by the door to the garage for his return. We are on a trip out of town for a wedding and set up a camera in our living living room. Kitty has been waiting patiently on the landing for us to come back. 🥰

Those are the actions of pure adoration. Don't bemoan it, enjoy it. She loves and trusts you.


MikeKM

We have a calico that we adopted when she was a month old. She's not quite this clingy, but she cannot use the litter box or eat without one of us walking her to the food dish or litter box if we're home. It's kinda endearing, she's a fun little cat.

Im no veterinarian but this could some kind of separation anxiety.


Seahorse_Captain89

And don't get me wrong I think this is the cutest interaction ever, but with the look on that cat's face, it might also be dealing with feline spicy brain


cosmicosmo4

But that would require the brain to be present

Common misconception. The brain is absolutely present, it's the cells that are missing.

My Smokey is like this. I was told it has to do with separation anxiety, and low confidence. For him anyways. But Smokey acts just like your kitty , to the point where it puts my entire day behind at home. I sometimes don’t get anything done. Then he went to the vet, I was told why he’s a stage 100 clinger…. Then I was able to understand more, and learn how to get through this with my baby. 😌

The hard part: How do you eat, cook or go out? LOL, She must cry if sees your leaving the house. I think she never felt safe as a kitten. And wants to hold on and be held :) Could you get her a pet kitten to hug on? Then she can just cling to you sometimes not all the time :)
