Not every cat owner is convinced, however.

Their sentiment was echoed by another viewer who added: “The scars that I have just received have taught me that a full grown cat cannot fit in the hood of a hoodie…”
“Ok I’ve just lost my chin and nearly my left eye”, added the owner of a less-than-impressed cat.

According to pet care experts Knose, top tips for raising your cat to be affectionate include:
- Treating kittens like a new born: If you’re fortunate to own your cat from its kitten stage, make sure to spend as much time with them as you can – treating them less like a cat and more like a baby, including bottle feeding them and helping them go to the bathroom.
- Rewarding good behavior:Just as you would a child, make sure your cat knows the benefits of behaving well, by supplying them with small treats after a successful play session.
- Keep your cat healthy: As you can imagine, a healthy cat is a happy cat – so keep yours in shape and active to increase the likelihood of them returning the love and affection that you show them.
