In an adorable Instagram video from user @harryandlippy, a tabby cat named Lippy demands hugs from her dad in the sweetest way possible, and who can deny such an opportunity? The cat starts her routine perched on a table. Amid a chaotic background, Lippy focuses on her dad, her human being, whom she wants to cozy up to.
Cat can’t stop hugging dad in adorable video
As soon as her dad steps in front of her in the adorable video, the cat lifts both front paws into the air and leans forward. Before you know it, she jumps up into her human’s arms. Then, Lippy wraps her paws around her dad’s neck and settles her whole body against his chest, purring loudly as if she is trying to drown out the rest of the world.
The on-screen caption calls it “Our daily ritual,” and the video shows why. Lippy rubs her face against her dad’s face, keeps purring, and even receives a soft kiss without moving an inch. And then her eyes start to droop. Still hugging on tight and purring as adorably as a cat could, she drifts into a comfortable sleep right there in her owner’s arms.
The video’s caption highlights, “The way she starts going to sleep in my arms ??”
Lippy’s body language says a lot: when cats press their faces into someone, they often do it for comfort and to share scent, which is basically their unique way of saying, “You’re mine, and I feel safe here.” And purring is more than just an adorable sound. Many cats use it to settle themselves down when they feel calm and secure.
Viewers couldn’t get over this sense of calmness and security. One person noted, “The paws round the neck,” while another wrote, “This warms my heart,” adding that it was “Just unconditional love at its purest.” And judging by the cat’s daily ritual with her dad in the video, it is, in fact, love that they share.
