It is useless to deny it: everyone likes to receive cuddles from their pet, and to have a affectionate cat it is one of the most beautiful gifts that the feline world can give us. According to many experts, this is a more frequent character trait in some breeds, while in the case of others it is more likely that the cat is a little less expansive. So let's see together what they are the 10 most affectionate cat breeds absolutely.

Scottish Fold

Known mainly for its folded ears, hence its name, the Scottish Fold has a docile and relaxed character, the fruit of centuries and centuries of evolution as a domestic cat. He tends to become attached to one human in particular, from whom he will expect a well-deserved dose of snuggles; if he does not receive enough, he could withdraw a little in himself.

Ragdoll

The Ragdoll is one of the "good giants" of the feline world and its gentle disposition, despite its large size, makes it an excellent pet also and above all for those who have children in the house. Its name (literally "rag doll") derives from its tendency to completely relax the muscles when picked up, a gesture that is very appreciated even by strangers.

Siamese

The Siamese is known more for his lively and playful temperament than for his affectionate nature, but we can assure you that he doesn't lack that too. Sweet and sociable, she loves being in contact with her family so much that she awaits their return on the doorstep, ready to purr them. It is one of the ways he has of requesting lots of attention and pampering it needs.

Maine Coon

Another large breed of feline, the Maine Coon is very peaceful and sociable, so much so that it can also get along perfectly with other pets. However, it is humans, and one in particular, the main object of his attention, which he will enjoy follow around the house to be involved as much as possible in its activities.

Sacred cat of Burma

The sacred cat of Burma, or simply Burmese, is one type extremely quiet that does not demand too much attention but likes it when it is the object of it. Particularly comfortable in quiet environments and therefore not very suitable for families with children (even though they also know how to get along with them), they are often satisfied with simply being next to their human.

Persian

No cat, however, is as quiet as the Persian: its nature sociable and relaxed makes living with him very pleasant. Although he loves to spend his days taking long naps, he will gladly come looking for you to collect his dose of pampering if he feels he has not received enough.

American Bombay

Black cat and very silent, the Bombay knows how to go unnoticed but also knows very well when to get noticed, especially when it needs pampering. He is still a type not very insistent, a characteristic inherited from the equally calm American Shorthair from which it descends.

Exotic Shorthair

If our list of affectionate breeds were a ranking, the Exotic would probably deserve i l first place: this cat is so in need of affection that it suffers a lot if it feels too lonely and does not enjoy a sufficient amount of cuddles and interactions with its humans. So try to give him all the time he needs and don't leave him alone at home for too long. You will certainly enjoy his company, also suitable for children and pets of all kinds.

Turkish Angora

The Angora cat or Turkish Angora is a very precious cat with a graceful and elegant appearance. But above all he is a great playful who loves to be at the center of attention and spend time with his family, both playing and being pampered.

Sphynx

These adorable hairless cats are very friendly by nature, but they also risk the cold more than other breeds - so what better way to to warm up than to snuggle up on your own human, perhaps letting yourself be caressed lovingly? We are sure that the Sphynx will be able to reciprocate your every gesture of affection with interest!
