The 37-year-old, who gave birth to daughter Harper in July, longed for a cat when she was pregnant but she couldn't persuade husband David to let her get one.
Victoria told Elle magazine: 'When I was pregnant, I just wanted to get lots and lots of animals, for some reason. We talked about cats, but David said absolutely not.'
The former Spice Girl added that she worked hard to regain her figure following the birth of her baby girl.
Beckham, who also has three sons, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, and Cruz, six, with footballer David, said: 'Oh, listen, I worked at it. I was breast-feeding, so I ate super healthy, and I worked out seven days a week.
'I wanted to burn all my leggings - I was adamant that by the time I went to fashion week I would be able to wear clothes.'
