A woman from the United Kingdom shared a video of her female kitten's behavior around her boyfriend, and cat owners across the platform can relate.

The viral TikTok clip, shared in December under the username @madisonwbass, shows the little black kitten meowing loudly as she waits for her owner's boyfriend to come back home, only stopping when she hears the keys through the lock.

"Anyone else's kitten such a daddy's cat? My boyfriend leaves and she's nonstop meowing, and when she hears the keys runs to say hello," says layover text in the clip. A caption adds: "Girl, he was my man first."

The post quickly went viral, receiving over 2.5 million views and more than 502,000 likes on the platform, and some users shared similar experiences.

Justtori posted: "My cat won't admit it, but she loves my husband too. And it's super funny because he's allergic to her but he'll still pet her and cuddle with her."

Scrags added: "She said 'he leaves because of you!"

Many cat owners believe that their female felines prefer men to women, but is there any truth to it?

Georgia-based veterinarian Jess Kirk says in a Vet Explains Pets article that, while most cats can have favorite humans, their gender usually doesn't matter. Kirk adds that every cat is unique and has their own reasons for liking a person over another. These include past experiences, personality, and quality time spent together.

Feline behavior consultant Joey Lusvardi, certified by the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, previously told Newsweek that cats can become as attached to people as dogs do, and usually tend to behave a certain way around their favorite humans.

Firstly, they will just hang around you more than anyone else, because they like to be with you and feel safe in your presence. They'll also tend to look at you often with slow blinking eyes, and rub their face on you to leave their pheromones.

If you are indeed their favorite, your cat will also trust you to do things they are usually not thrilled about, like trimming their nails, and will greet you affectionately when you come back home to them.
