They are attracted by both poles of the magnet simultaneously. So either they have two poles themselves, which makes them attractive, or are ferromagnetic, which makes them unattractive. We can conclude that without further research the question about their attractiveness can not be proven.

I'm requesting 150 thousand dollars to further this research. The world must know if this cat is attractive!
~~You mixed up ferromagnetism with diamagnetism~~
~~> Ferromagnetism is a property of certain materials (such as iron) that results in a significant, observable magnetic permeability, and in many cases, a significant magnetic coercivity, allowing the material to form a permanent magnet. Ferromagnetic materials are noticeably attracted to a magnet, which is a consequence of their substantial magnetic permeability.~~
~~https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferromagnetism~~
~~> Diamagnetism is the property of materials that are repelled by a magnetic field; an applied magnetic field creates an induced magnetic field in them in the opposite direction, causing a repulsive force.~~
~~> Diamagnetism is a quantum mechanical effect that occurs in all materials; when it is the only contribution to the magnetism, the material is called diamagnetic.~~
~~https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamagnetism~~
~~Meaning that in both cases, they would be attractive.~~
Edit: I think I misunderstood what you wrote, sorry about that.
If you have enough ferromagnetic material in your blood that you can be lifted fully off the ground, then maybe you have bigger things to worry about.
Risk assessment according to dose is:
<20mg/kg –– asymptomatic
20-60mg/kg –– GI symptoms only
60-120mg/kg –– potential for systemic toxicity
>120mg/kg –– potentially lethal
