If you’re a cat parent, you know they aren’t always the most obvious with their affection — until they are. Whether it’s a headbutt, a slow blink, or a full-on meow session, cats have their own way of showing love and, sometimes, demanding it back. One video of a pregnant Ragdoll cat recently reminded the internet just how vocal and clingy expecting feline moms can be with their owners.
Pregnant Ragdoll cat demanding attention from owner wins the internet
Instagram user @pearlsragdolls recently posted a video capturing a series of moments featuring Peaches, a pregnant Ragdoll cat, who clearly has a favorite in the house, and it’s her owner’s husband. The video starts with Peaches walking up to him, meowing insistently, almost as if she’s saying, “Excuse me, sir, I require your attention.” Onscreen text reads, “My pregnant cat demanding pets from my husband,” setting the stage for a wholesome montage.
Clip after clip shows Peaches giving her best pleading stare until the husband gives in and starts gently petting her. Her expression softens immediately as she leans into the affection, clearly soaking it all in. Peaches makes it clear: when she wants attention, she’ll ask for it, and she’s not shy about who she wants it from.
In the comments, fans couldn’t get enough of the dynamic between Peaches and her human. One user wrote, “Peaches is the ultimate Daddy’s Girl,” while another added, “She looks at Justin like she is absolutely in love with him.” Someone else joked, “Give that girl all the rubs. She’s working hard incubating kittens lol.”
While every feline is different, it’s common for pregnant cats to become more affectionate as their due date approaches. The physical and hormonal changes can make them seek extra comfort and security. This behavior is also partly instinctual as they look for safe, calm environments to nest and prepare for labor. In many cases, they’ll gravitate toward the human they feel most connected to, seeing them as a source of protection and calm.
