Super clingy cats!

More super clingys. I especially like the first one reaching out desperately for its owners hand. Notice how a lot of them have squeaky meows and do love bites.
What makes a cat get like this, is it just their personality, or something about the way they're treated really well? I've only ever seen this on YouTube and it's a bit of a mystery to me.

I would go for clingies, but what do I know, English is my second language, lol.
In an attempt to back up my choice, though, is that nappies, for example, is the plural form of nappy. You wouldn't say nappys, now would you?
A fun little anecdote: I have a friend who went to Thailand and he got a tattoo there, while drunk. Never a good idea. He got inked with the text "no brains, no worrys". Which is unbelievably ironic, if you think about it.

Same here, never ever seen this kind of behaviour from any cat, and I've seen some cats in my life. Make you question what you see, even if it looks super real.

Super cute though 
aha, you have now awakened the dormant grammar nerd in me, no need to panic or call an ambulance for this life critical situation: Clingy has no plural because Clingy is not a noun, it is an adjective, and in English, adjectives are gender neutral and have no singular/plural.
(They do in other languages) .
We tend to sometimes use adjectives as Nouns, like in this instance, but this is just the way a living language expresses itself, because a spoken language is fluid and faceted, while grammar is not.
A bit like math, you can't argue with it.
....."no worrys", I like it; but then it was inked in Thailand, what do they know, in Thailand, about the vagaries of English ; just stick an "S" after 'worry'. Besides, if the owner of the said inscription ain't got no brains, he won't know the difference anyway.A fun little anecdote: I have a friend who went to Thailand and he got a tattoo there, while drunk. Never a good idea. He got inked with the text "no brains, no worrys". Which is unbelievably ironic, if you think about it.
But you know, joking apart, it is true, something along the line of 'a fool's paradise': the least you know, the better it is, less of a headache. (Until you eventually bang your head against a wall. Then it hurts)
Yeah, I like clingies too. Just feels more correct. If either way is a misspelling, then let's have that one!I would go for clingies, but what do I know, English is my second language, lol.

omg that tattoo!
No Sir, here is lesson no.2 (sorry, but you've asked for it): while adjectives have no singular/plural, they do have comparatives and superlatives. If 'more super clingy' doesn't sound right, it is because it is not right. It is either 'clingier', or 'clingiest'. There. Now you know.Oh gawd dear Grammar Nerd, my brain is small and you've confused it with all this English technical stuff!
So I should write "more super clingy"? That doesn't sound right either.
? how does the small brain feel now?
Positively microscopic!? how does the small brain feel now?
Thanks for the technical explanation, Mars.I think I'm gonna write clingies as clingys really doesn't feel right.

Clingers?
I know, right?Super cute though
Oh heck no, that sounds like something else lol.
Flattery will get you everywhere.I'm taking notes here
This stuff is great to improve my English!
oh no, animals are never Clingers. A clingy animal is sweet and lovable and you can't get enough of it.
A clingy person is a Clinger you just wanna get rid off.
You're welcome. Anytime.Positively microscopic!

Ah, never heard of that! Was just making up words
They do look real to me, but maybe there's some AI there, I won't completely rule it out. I wouldn't normally post a cute animal AI video except in exceptional circumstances and then I'd point it out. I've had a close look and it doesn't look it, though.
The way to do it is to maximise the picture on a PC monitor (smartphone, tablet or laptop screen is too small to see this clearly) and put your eyes physically close to it so you can see fine details of motion. AI generation tends to have details morphing like patterns and hair into other shapes, appearing and disappearing, things like that. If you get a sense that it's off in some way, but can't say how, then it's also likely to be AI.
