Any cat parent will tell you that every feline has a different personality. Some are aloof and mysterious, while others are unapologetically needy. For one cat on Instagram, there is no such thing as too many pets, and she is making sure her human knows it.
Video of cat asking for unlimited pets melts hearts
The video, shared by Instagram user @sirgeorge, features a Ragdoll cat named Lady Eleanor, who believes pets are a non-negotiable part of her day. It begins with Lady Eleanor meowing insistently at her human, her big blue eyes locked on them with unwavering focus. Text over the video reads, “how my needy cat reacts when i stop petting her,” and from the first frame, the message is clear.
As soon as the petting begins, Lady Eleanor closes her eyes in complete bliss, even purring loud enough to be heard over the audio. However, the moment the hand pulls away, she immediately begins to meow again, as if to say, “Excuse me? That wasn’t nearly enough.” When the owner gives in and resumes, Lady Eleanor lovingly nudges her face into her human’s palm, fully soaking up the attention. The video’s caption sums it up perfectly: “Must give cuddles.”
The reel has already drawn more than 9,000 likes, showing just how much the internet loves a clingy cat moment. One viewer commented, “That face… with the closed eyes. That’s love right there.” Another joked, “Who told you to stop, human? Hahahahaha.” A fellow Ragdoll owner added, “Ragdolls are so demanding… we have 2 boys.”
So, are cats really this clingy? While not all felines are naturally affectionate, Ragdolls are famously known for their gentle, laid-back personality and love for human companionship. Bred to be social and cuddly, they often follow their owners around the house and enjoy physical affection. Lady Eleanor’s behavior is a textbook example of her breed’s temperament — vocal, loving, and just a little bit needy.
