Definition & Meaning of "Velcro cat"in English

What does "Velcro cat" mean in pet owner slang?

The structure combines "Velcro" (the brand of adhesive fasteners) with "cat," forming a compound noun that compares the cat's attachment to sticky material. It is used to describe a cat that stays extremely close to its owner, rarely leaving their side, following them from room to room and seeking constant physical contact or attention, which is less common in cats than dogs. People typically say "My cat is a Velcro cat" when describing unusually clingy or affectionate felines.
