It turns out that many breeds are known for their affection and love to please their owners with attention, such as Labradors or Poodles. That is why the Scottish newspaper The Scotsman listed 14 cat breeds that are the most loving compared to others.

The Abyssinian cat is a breed that may not even let you go to the bathroom alone because these cats believe that their owner must be protected at all times.

These cats love children and will most likely sit on your lap as a place to rest.

The Maine Coon is one of the oldest breeds of domestic cats. It is a large cat with thick fur, which makes it ideal for cuddling.

The Sphynx has no fur and can get a little cold, so it often comes to its owner for warmth. "This means there will always be cuddles. In addition, this breed of cat just naturally loves to cuddle and play, even when it's quite warm, so expect a lot of purring. These are truly loving cats. Unfortunately, the lack of fur has its drawbacks: these cats are prone to skin problems and sunburn," explained The Scotsman.

The Siamese cat is known for its affection and often follows its owner around the house, watching them with boundless love.

Scottish Fold cats are so affectionate that they do not like to be left alone and enjoy lying on or near their owner at all times.
