A cat has left the internet in stitches after she refused to be put down while her owner cooks.

Felines differ largely in personality types, with some being much more affectionate than others. According to PetMD, many people stereotype cats as being aloof. While some are, many kitties feel a strong bond with their owners and want to be close to them.

Ellie the tabby (@ellie_thetabby) falls into the latter category. Her owner showcased her affectionate nature in a video that has garnered 78,218 likes.

Ellie's owner shared on Instagram: "Welcome back to: cooking with my cat who cries if she's not involved in everything. I really need that baby carrier thing."

The video shows Ellie's owner cradling her in one arm as he fries some sort of meat in a pan.

Showcasing his ability to multitask, the doting owner strokes her head and belly and feeds her treat while keeping a watchful eye over the hot pan.

The footage melted the hearts of viewers who shared anecdotes about their own needy pets.

TikTok user Scarlett Brohansson said: "My cat would probably stand on my shoulder while I cooked if I let him. He doesn't like those Temptations treats though, only the milk ones."

Another user commented, "This type of love for animals is seriously neglected and I LOVE IT."

Other users suggested that the cat dad buy a sling so he can keep his loving cat close to him while he cooks without dedicating one arm to keeping her close.

Newsweek previously spoke to Harry Jackson, a 27-year-old from the United Kingdom who invested in a cat sling for his 12-year-old senior cat, Lippy, so he could keep her close while working on his farm—and she loves it.

A cat mom, Lacie Evans, has also taken to carrying her cat hands-free in a baby which she ties around her chest and body so the 2-year-old kitty can stay close to her chest.

According to Rover.com, a pet-sitting site, slings are a good option for anxious cats who like to be close to their owners, but since they are not the most secure mode of transport, they are best reserved for indoor spaces.

Newsweek reached out to @ellie_thetabby for comment via Instagram. We could not verify the details of the case.
