Just wondered if anyone elses cat seems to be as mad as one of my boys appear to be?

First time it happened was well over a year ago and I thought it was a fluke

But one of my boys seems to be in love with the hoover

every morning its the same routine I get the hoover out, he flops down on the floor in front of me wanting me to rub the hoover on him. He loves it everyone in the house laughs at this and my mother didn't believe me until I showed her he actually really likes it

I know cats can be as mental as dogs, but this really isn't normal
Anyone elses cat the same?
