To ask if you have a velcro cat?

Even getting a second cat might not help. I did that for my first cat Vera but she hates Jeph with passion. It could be cos he's a ginger idiot though.
Both of them are pretty aloof regarding me unless I'm sleeping then Vera has to lay on my pillow as close to my head as possible.

If you get another cat, you could just end up with 2 velcro cats 😂
My two seem to have some kind of tag team thing going on. There's always one desperately vying for attention. I wfh so spend plenty of time with them but it's pretty constant. No where is off limits to them so they sleep with me, come to the bathroom with me, etc etc. Sometimes one will be sat on my lap and the other comes along and looks so disappointed that my lap isn't free! Although sometimes they both just squeeze on together.

I don't really mind because I adore them! But I always find it funny when people talk about how independent cats are.

Ive always told DH that mine knows the sound of the car and will come to the door when we drive up and park somewhere along our road and of course he dismissed this, saying she responded to the sound of the key in the door.

Yesterday he was was shocked that while in the bedroom with her she suddenly jumped on the window sill and when he looked I had just driven up and then she ran downstairs to the front door 😂

She is semi Velcro, has a specific sofa that as soon as I sit in is her invitation to my lap, she’ll sleep on my side of the bed in the days, only spends a few minutes in the garden before howling to come back in. But I love her dearly.

Pure Velcro. Little angel creature who wants constant snuggles. Likes 5 mins outside, doesn't leave the garden and wants to come straight back in however will gladly come outside with us if we're gardening. Hates all other cats, just wants to be cuddled and stroked all the time by a human. Preferably my DH, DH is his favourite member of the household. He loves being picked up and held like a baby. I honestly didn't know cats could be like this before I met this one

Mine is more of an opposite polarity magnet to me. I am allowed to stroke on my birthday and Christmas if I’ve been very good. Otherwise she manages to move out of my reach without actually moving. She allows me to share her sofa, though. So there’s that.

Aw I wish I did! My cat is a dick!

I have three cats, two come for occasional cuddles whilst the other has to be touching me at all times. I have no idea what the solution is, I don't think there is one. Mine have definitely got worse as they've got older.

Yes, we've got 3! (Previously 2 but a stray recently decided to move in with us). I worked almost exclusively from home for 4 years in my old job, but have just started a new role that's office based. One of the cats has gone into an almost full depression although still insists on getting in bed with us and snuggling into me for a cuddle every night!

Mine is a partial velcro.

She loves to be outside if it is sunny and she visits my neighbours but on a morning I find myself typing on here with her curled up on my arm.

BUT

If there is a male in the house I do not get a look in. Her favourite person is my dad. He arrives, sits down and she is on his knee.

Until we sit at the table to eat where she jumps up on his knee under the table and I pretend I have not seen her. When he goes to bed she follows him.

She is almost the same with my carer.

When I am on my own she is either on me, asleep next to me, asleep on me or demanding I let her in / out.

Magpies For Cats 😺
Our boy loves it !

I have 3 gingers... All velcro cats!

I am pinned in by them all if I am sitting or laying down. Usually at least one on me, the others beside.

They have each other but will cry for me if I close the bathroom door and follow me everywhere 😂

We have one of these! I WFH a lot and then I haven’t any choice but to become a cat cushion for the day. She will even push my computer off my lap to get to sit where she wants. If she could, she would quite literally sleep next to me all night and sleep on my lap all day! I love her so much though I can’t stay annoyed with her 🥰

My old cat was. Couldn’t sit down without her attaching herself. Slept round my neck. Really didn’t like my children when they arrived as it was only me she clung to. Miss her loads. We have 3 cats now and whilst they are all lovely, they are not as attached. I always called her my firstborn as she was my first cat as an adult!

this is my guilty one, always insisting on following me around. Tonight it was to do laundry.

I’ve promised my teenage daughter a kitten if she does well in her first year of college/part-time job (high school was a disaster 😢).
I’m really hoping that whatever cat she gets will turn out to be a Velcro cat … sticking to her, I mean. She just wants something to love and to love her back.

I know a few!

No tips, but solidarity 😂 I have two velcro cats.

One is my black rescue Moggy, who pesters for love and likes to be on my lap at all times. Then there's my Sphynx, who literally likes to be under my top having skin to skin like a newborn.

Oh poor black cat....😍

Mine is...I adore her but it can be wearing especially if you are on zoom and she wants to sit on the keyboard!

My old cat was like this. He absolutely adored me and would often just stare at me in wonder 🥰 I miss him so much he was almost 20 when he died

my little princess I have now is lovely, but I’m concerned she is a bit of a stalker she follows me about and just watches me she is never far from me and loves to be stroked but I have to approach her 🙄 apart from at night when she plonks herself on me

My Velcro baby

My cat sulks when we get back from holiday, turns his back and won't purr for about 3 days!!!

I have the invisible thread. Where ever I go, the invisible thread brings her with me. I love it and wouldn’t change a thing

One of my cats is like this. She was the second cat too and they don’t really get on so getting another cat isn’t necessarily the answer either. She wants to be with someone ALL THE TIME. It can be lovely like she will go outside in the garden if the kids are out there. But sometimes I need a break!!
