Cats are often stereotyped as independent, aloof creatures who prefer solitude and personal space. However, if you’ve shared your home with a clingy feline, you know that’s not always the case. Some cats become so attached to their humans that they refuse to leave their side, even for a minute. One such “Velcro cat” is winning over the internet with a video showing her hilariously affectionate behavior.
Funny video captures what life is like with a velcro cat
The video, shared by Instagram user @eevee.ragdoll_, starts with the question, “What’s a velcro cat?” The rest of the reel answers that question with a series of relatable, and slightly chaotic, clips. The first shows the Ragdoll cat — named Eevee — poking her head around the corner of the bathtub while her human tries to take a moment to herself.
The clip quickly cuts to a shot of the owner’s black leggings covered in white fur, clear evidence of constant close contact. Then comes a clip of Eevee entering the room and meowing to announce her presence, followed by her refusing to leave the owner’s side, even climbing on top of her while she lies down.
Whether her human is in bed, on the phone, or just trying to have some personal space, Eevee is always right there. One moment even shows her paw placed sweetly on her owner’s hand mid-scroll, as if to say, “Enough screen time. Pay attention to me.” The video ends with more cuddles and undeniable proof that this cat isn’t going anywhere without her human.
In the caption, the owner jokes, “She’s not just clingy… she’s Velcro. I can’t move without my shadow!” Many viewers took to the comments to share how their pets behave similarly. One person wrote, “I’ve had a lot of kitties like this, including my current one.” Another said, “Aww those are the best kinds of cats! Velcro cats!” Others chimed in calling Eevee “an absolute doll.”
A “Velcro pet” is a term lovingly used to describe animals that stick to their humans like, well, Velcro. While dogs are more famously clingy, some cats — especially breeds like Ragdolls or Siamese — can be just as attached. This behavior can stem from personality, early socialization, or simply a desire for security and connection.
