Most Affectionate Cat Breeds That Actually Love To Cuddle | Animal Globe

I lost my beautiful short hair Calico last year. She was 19 when she died. Towards me she was the most loving, affectionate, protective and perfect cat ever! She was never fond of sharing her mom though. She saved my life by waking me before I slipped into a Diabetic coma. She was my best friend and my everything. I miss her!

My Maine Coon, Lestat, was my shadow. He was such a lover boy. I had him for 17 years. When he passed, it was like my heart was torn out from my chest. He would wait for me when I got home. He would sleep with me or on me or between my legs. When I got sick or was depressed, he was there for me. He would purr, meow, and roll onto his back for pets. He was the best cuddle kitty ever. I swear the kitty I have now was his gift to me. Bailey, we believe she is a Turkish Van. She has multi colored eyes (one blue one yellow), mostly white except for the markings on her tail and back (she has the thumb print). She has all of the traits of a TV and a DIVA. There has not been one moment when I’m not smiling with Bailey. She is continually making me smile and always is doing something crazy. The only problem is that she don’t cuddle and is extremely skittish. She will lay next to me, but only on HER terms (DIVA). Thank you, Lestat, for giving me Bailey. She is an adventure.

My generic small male grey tabby was the most ridiculously affectionate cat I ever had. Got him while living alone, come home every night he was meowing at the door, jumped up into my arms, had to pet him/hold him for a couple minutes every night when I got off work.

The most affectionate cats that actually love to cuddle don't have to be a purebred. None of my 4 cats in the last 30 years were yet the love we shared together was priceless.

Finally, one of these affectionate cat lists on YouTube mention the Bombay. One of the reasons they say not to get a Bombay is they need you to spend time with them. They will actually get stressed if their humans are away too long. They will follow you wherever you go. It's very seldom that you can take a shower without them sitting there waiting for you. If you want a cat that truly loves you, get a "mini-panther."

I've never owned a cat that wasn't affectionate.

My Brother has a Syhynx and that little guy will not leave you alone. A true velcro cat. He will stay in your lap, crawl to your shoulder, and will talk to you until you pick them up. I've been around cats all my life but have never seen such a friendly (and clingy) cat.

I adopted a black domestic shorthair 10 years ago and he’s the friendliest, most affectionate, and sweetest cat I know. He wants to be friends with everyone and every creature. He goes and visits all my neighbors and they love him.

I am fortunate to live with two Tonkinese cats, and they are heaven on earth to be around. Bringing them home was the best thing that has ever happened to me without a doubt.

Our experience with male orange tabbys has been consistently positive. We found them very affectionate, cuddly, vocal, and especially two of them champion fetch kitties. We didn't teach them to fetch, they just did it!

Tabby cats are the best. I love mine so much. So sweet

I am obsessed with Devon Rex cats. Not only are they very smart and social, but they are so attached to their people that you sometimes forget they are cats. They are also very much velcro cats (although if their people are unavailable they will snuggle and play with each other until their humans return). I have had Devon Rexes for about 18 years now, and in all that time, unless I actively remove them from the bedroom and lock them out (which results in a lot of kitty cries, scratching at the door and paws under the door), I don't think I've spent a single moment in bed without at least one of these babies either tucked under the covers with me or cuddling against my face on my pillow. And since they are as loving toward each other as they are toward their humans, it is more frequent that you will have many cuddling with you at any given time (to a Devon's way of thinking, why would you have 3 cats spread across 3 human laps, when you can have 3 cats piled into a single human lap?). A few nights ago, I wasnt feeling very well, and the warmth of the cuddling (which is always just a little "too close" since they like to really bury their way into you) got to be a little much. So, rather than bother them, I tucked them up against my husband (who they also sleep cuddled with if I'm not yet in bed), and I went into our guest bedroom. It took them less than 5 minutes to figure out what I did, and track me into the other room, so they could get in their "rightful" cuddles. We went back and forth 3-4 times that night, until I eventually (with a ton of guilt) decided to close them out of the guest room. After quite a bit of commotion to make sure I knew whar a horrible cat-mom I was being, they left to go back into my bedroom and cuddle up with my husband. Because hey, he may not be "mommy", but he is still one of their humans :).

I adopted a cat (we have no idea what breed she is, probably just a mix of lots of them) And she is the sweetest little girl! She lives to cuddle she’s just too scared to. I’m not sure how to make her more confident, but I’ve definitely bonded with her more so she kind of trusts me.

That Van cat in the beginning of the video is gorgeous.

I have a Siamese who’s king of the house and he will tell you he is!!! But he’s the best cat I’ve ever had

Love my Siamese. She chats with me throughout the day and entertains with her antics!

I have a Siamese and he is SO QUIET!!!~ His ginger brother is louder and more vocal than him! When my Siamese does meow, it's so quiet my hearing-damaged ears can't even pick up on it! He's not the snuggliest cat, either, but he sure has a lot of love to give. Before his brother came into the picture, he and I would sleep back-to-back. He always tries to sit on the couch with me, too.

I adore my rescues, by far my favorite breed. Nap time is their favorite snuggle time

I have only got a moggie, he's ginger and white, but I can't sit down and have five minutes without him jumping up. Often I go into the kitchen and he follows me and starts wowing incessantly, and all he wants is for me to go back into the living room, take up my usual position on the sofa, so he can jump up and nestle on me and commence a loud and lengthy purring session.

I used to know a fluffy grey cat, called him Smokey. Never found out who he belonged to, started feeding him because he was so thin and his fur matted on one side. He would always run up and greet me, then he'd jump on my lap and go to sleep.
