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 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.

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.

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.

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

Finally, one of these affectionate cat lists on KZfaq 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 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.

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.

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

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 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.

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

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.

I want all those cats.

My fur baby is a Tonkinese, she is extremely affectionate. She demands to sit on my lap and be cuddled! She loves kids and is smart too. I have taught her to fetch and sit pretty. Wouldn't have any other cat but her.

I have 4 Burmese. I love them to bits and they return the favour. I’m a widow so we share a king size bed at night.

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 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 have 2 devon rexes and they are the most playful, special, affectionate and sweet cats I've ever encountered!

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

I have a brown shorthair tabby. She's incredibly affectionate.

I had two Ragdoll brothers Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis. I recently lost my Frankie to Pancreatitis and Fip the day before Thanksgiving. I miss him terribly, I got the cats as kittens when I started dialysis they actually rescued me. I’m so Thankful that I still have Sammy who once was a bit standoffish and not as needy as Frankie but now that his brother is gone he’s become increasingly loving, he actually sleeps with me now as his brother did. We are thinking about gett8ng another playmate for the family and for Sammy, maybe a different breed maybe the same breed...I’m glad I actually came across this video, it does provide me with insight on different breeds who share my personality.

Wonderful presentation. Thank you😻

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 have two tabby cats that are super cuddly. We adopted them from the shelter when they were 6 months old. They are sisters and have thumbs. I thought it would take them a long time to get used to us, but they were all over us the same night we got them.

Hey, where’s the Norwegian Forest Cat? My 2 babies are like puppies 😂. I got them from my local shelter. They had belonged to a psycho who mistreated them. Now they’re both treated like kings. They’re so needy and clingy that it’s like taking care of 2 babies, always following me around, waiting for me at the door.❤️❤️

love it 💗

Why does loving to cuddle need to be described as a "dog trait"? Especially when there are so many cats who love cuddling as well? Stereotypes are bad 👎🏼

I have a brown short hair tabby. He does not like to be pick up, but he comes to me when I call him, runs over to me when I get up in the morning, jump up onto me every day to sit with me by my feet when I recline in my lazyboy. Rub his head and body against me all the time. His flavorite thing to do is when he is on the back of my sofa looking out the window, he likes to lean against my chest when I circle him in my arms.

I have two tuxedo brothers, and one old calico female. I also have a small dog. They all get along great. Very loving. The tuxedos are very smart.

I was blessed to be adopted by a stray Chartreax. Maggie T was the smartest, friendliest cat I've ever met. She was purrfect! There were times when she bugged me a lot so I gave her time outs, but all in all a wonderful cat.

I've had Sphynx for over 20 years, as well as "furred" babies. They are a very effectionate, in-your-face cat. Smart but high maintenance. Love them!

My exotic shorthair, Freddie, is my absolute buddy. He helped me get through the dark days after my father's death. I love him to pieces.

I lost my big orange 14 year old, female tabby, almost a year ago.😥 Fostered two deaf white kitties, which became too overwhelming by the time they were 6 months.🥴 I then adopted a 2 year old, ¼ Scottishfold/Persian/Ragdoll/Munchkin. She is not as cuddly as my Tabby was.....but I still love her....🥰

I have a grey tiger kitty. She likes to peek and howl to me from under the front door as I’m ascending the stairs lol. She can be a little bitch at times, but the minute I turn the electric blanket on and put her favorite blanket on top, she’s right in the crook of my knees purring, kneading and sucking the blanket. I love her so much.

I see so little about my snuggle baby- a Devon Rex named Odi. She is so sweet and loves to be warm and snuggle. She’s also goofy and playful! At 6lbs, she is the queen of the house. Everyone who visits wants to take her home with them!

My Tonkinese cats are wonderful, loving companions! I have a loving relationship with each of them, and they love one another and even get along with the black lab across the hallway. Highly recommended Tonks!!

I love my Siamese Timon. He likes affection when he is ready. He will sit in my lap. He's very smart and will play fetch. I have had several Siamese all of them were talkative but Timon. He very seldom meows, but he'll rub on your legs.

My flame point Siamese (technically called a color point short-hair) was smart and very affectionate. We rescued a cat who is either an Ocicat or Ocicat-tabby mix (no papers-the breeder abandoned his litter during COVID & a rescue organization got them so we adopted him). He is very affectionate & very active like an Aby...walks on a lease too. Ocicats are a mix of Siamese and Aby & have a combination of those traits.

There really isn't a cat l can't love, but I've never met a more loving and affectionate cat than my plain old black short-haired boy who was rescued from the streets as a kitten, diseased and emaciated, and now is a big, sleek, handsome boy who seems to appreciate his post rescue life of food and good health and love.

I once had a cat named Layla - a tortie. She was lovely.

I have one Persian and one Ragdoll. They are the best. They get along with each other and are nice to the short haired kitty!

That Bombay is gorgeous!

My tabby calico cross stretches 43 inches from floor to Maximum reach. 6years and 21 lbs. Only cat I've known with actual manners

I love my cat Kiwi she is a n 18 lb Maine coone. Lol she doesnt like anyone but me. It took me 5 years to feed her by hand now. Lol she ate my green strawberries top. Lol i let her there washed it made me laugh. I love her she is mean and wont listen unless you have good snacks. Lol then she purrs bumping her head on ankles. Lol all the convincing. Lol after food she climbes up the cough judging. Lol

I have had tabbies, and they're really loving and friendly. I also have a blue russian mix and that one loves to cuddle. I think some of my cat breeds should be on the list they love attention

My Maddie is an Abbyssinian. She's a very cuddly cat and very talkative. She's my little guard kitty. As soon as I get home,she greets me and wants to play and be my lap warmer.

I had a Ginger cat i Named Precious Because He Was So Precious ,Extremely Friendly & Extremely SMART 😊❤😊

I have some Craigslist kitties, Hank and Bob. Orange tabbies that are very affectionate. Have to be picked up and held when they come in for the evening and follow me everywhere.

BIrman owner, so much pile of cuddly love!

My tuxedo cat Dave looooves cuddles he practically begs for attention

I used to have a cat that I am almost sure was a Bombay mix and he was an absolute sweetheart, sadly he passed away a few years ago after what I think was a pneumonia. Now I have two cats, both of them them just mixed breeds, one of them is extremely aloof with everyone except me and the other is pretty much a dog in a cat's body. (She just doesn't really like to go on walks and likes to explore alone from time to time.)

I have a pure black long haired rumpy riser Manx who is the friendliest cat I've ever owned, smart and acts more like a dog as he plays fetch and enjoys car rides more then I do. wonderful breed of cat that probably should of been somewhere in the beginning of this list.

I have a Sphynx.. she is a snuggler... and when she wants momma time she lets me know it.. and I have a tabby cream point Siamese.. he is a mommas boy and has to touch me.. I originally started with a Maine coon.. she was magical.. everyone wanted to see her.. she was beautiful.. ❤️

Our cat is a Snowshoe cross and is the most affectionate cat we have ever owned. Because Snowshoes are part Siamese, they are very vocal, lives to sit in the lap, follow you everywhere (even into the loo!) and will play fetch (but, not return!). She is almost ten and acts like a kitten!!! Extremely friendly!😻

Saimese and American bobtail!! The later one is very smart intelligent and will be a lap cat on her own terms!! The saiyamian is confused 7 months old! Highly energetic! Love ‘em both!!

I have a half siamese cat.she is so loving.

I share my home with a Norwegian Forest cat, a rescue who loves to sleep on my lap.

You know you’re cat life is going down in flames when you realize your cat likes your dad more so you come to watch this video *COUGH* me *CHOUGH*

those Black cats look like MY Black Bombay Cat!!!!!!! hes SUCH a TOTAL lovebug!

My Mocha of 16 years is a Siamese/Berman and she does enjoy sitting on my lap on her terms, when we are not taking a walk around the farm house or she's sleeping

The Sphinx makes my skin crawl. Something extraterrestrial about it

You forgot the Russian Blue

I have two Persian kitties and two lynx point Siamese kitties. They r amazing and love to b loved. They sleep on me at night. On my chest. Kitties r my heart. I've had all kinds and have lived every one of them . Never met a kitty I didn't love.

My cat doesn't like to cuddle or be carried but we love & respect each other.

I have a Tortoiseshell that I rescued when she was about 4 weeks old. She was sickly but pulled through with medication. Today she is 9 years old. She is NOT a lap cat! 😸

Devon Rex, Snowshoe - I had both. They were the sweetest cuddliest babies

We have 3 and we love them

I have an exotic shorthair Himalayan and all she wants is to be carried around and cuddled. She sits on our laps whenever she can (literally) and jumps on our shoulders and stays there like a parrot. Love her to bits. However she is not the sharpest knife in the drawer and she doesn’t know her name.

I have 2 ragdoll they are just like dogs , I love them so much

Ragdoll x mainecoon amazingly friendly cat A little shy of newcomers but not for long 😊

I have an 8yrs old Bombay male named "Mr Oogie Boogie" and he's a delightful little guy to have around. Had a Persian "Voodoo" for 16yrs prior to my "Oogz* coming into my life.

I own a DSH name PeeWee he was a very good cat PeeWee was my baby he passed March 2020 and he was very loving and he like to cuddle when he wanted too but I miss him ,but now I have a 9 mo. Black and White DSH I love also .

i had a Persian cat : got him as a kitten and raised him. he was sooo affectionate and sweet. spend about 10 years or more but died a few month ago . i have another cat a street rescued cat . i don t know her type but she s like a tiger not affectionate and hate to be hold

I have a tabby cat named Nala. She is a rescue.

I had 2 Burmese cats (sable and champagne) and they are great cats. Super affectionate and very intelligent.

We used to have a very affectionet cat. His name was latzerus. He was some unknown mix from the the wild farm cats we have but I could do anything with him. I remember often wearing him like a scarf and hed just let me do it. He wasn't in the best shape as he had a lung infection as a kitten but we truly loved each other. Sadly he ran away one day when we Wer away for two weeks. I miss him but it's been years and I dont think he will ever return.

I have an American short hair and a siamese tabby mix. both absolute amazing cats and LOVE cuddling despite being strays at one time. Both males (nuetered)

Half the animal youtubers I watch either have a Norwegian Forrest cat (which mine seems to have been one & I only just realized! Been 9 years without him😢) or a munchkin, namely Scottish fold. I’ve been wanting one of the 2 breeds. Although I could do with or without the munchkin traits. Definitely glad to learn Scottish folds are affectionate cause I already know Norwegians are chill.

Cute

I think my cats might have ragamuffin in them. They are both so loveable, brother and sister yet have such different personalities. The brother is a tub of lard that like to roll around and get his belly rubbed, and his sister loves grooming herself and others(always giving me kisses) and they both love to snuggle while being very playful at times. They are super enjoyable cats and I am very lucky to have them. 😀 that being said, I know what pushes their buttons and they can get on eachother's nerves at times but I can tell they care for eachother. I moved recently and they spent a lot of quality time together in the midst of the commotion, and finally after things have settled they seem even happier and more loveable than before!

Just adopt a kitten she is a mix. Turkish Angola with Siamese. She is gorgeous little kitten. Will take her for walks on her leash when she is a bit older ☺️

I had a main coon that died last October, he weighed 23 pounds and was the nicest cat.

I have a very large Bombay, a smaller female Bombay & a Chartreuse.

I have a long haired Russian blue named Anubis, he is not much for other people, but he is the sweetest lil boy when he is around his furdaddy (me!) :3

Try the Burmese absolutely delightful and love to be with people

Good to know.

We have a sweet gray furred beautiful kitty who is cuddly and affectionate with us but doesn't want to be around strangers.

I have a BOMBAY! I have a mini house panther! Lol,..she doesn't like to b away from us.

My experience is that cats will generally fall in love with anyone who will open a food container for them.

Guy: watches this video to see which cat to get Also guy: still doesn’t know so adopts all of the cats

The Scottish fold is not a century old race. The breeding started in 1971. The folded ears are in reality a birth defect, also inflicting the other bones in the cat. The breed suffers from al kind of painfully bone issues. The breed is forbidden in several countries, because it’s cruel to breed this cats.

I have a ragdoll and he is very affectionate in the way he always likes to be around us and our dogs but he doesn’t like being touched . He will come and cuddle but won’t wanna be touched

My Lynx point girl Star ..is very energetic and loveable..

I have a Ragdoll. He is the love of my life.

I adore Siamese. I have a huge bengal here now, not my cat, but he has adopted me. Cats are the boss, not humans

I think my cat is mixed Maine Coon. Sometimes I don't have the energy to keep up with him.
