These breeds are great, but when getting a cat remember to go to the shelter, not to a breeder.

THE TABBIES ARE 100% LOVEABLE AND ADORABLE.

Yep I could've guessed it because I have a Russian Blue cat and she's the most lovable one of all my cats I can go outside and she's right there following me or I could just be sitting outside and she'll jump up and start rubbing against me. Yep russian blue cats are not only the world's most adorable cats but they're most definitely the world's most affectionate cats 🥰❤

We have 2 cats, 1 is a pure bred Siamese and she is affectionate on her terms only. Then we have a stray male who showed up and he is just a short hair mix (orange and white) tabby cat and he is affectionate ALL the time and has the loudest purr I've ever heard. 💞 We love them both dearly, but the orange and white tabby has my heart ❤️

Diffently the russian blue. Our 16 year old Russian blue, fiddy recently passed and we are devastated. I have never hurt or cried so hard in my life..I lost my tv watching partner and he slept with me every night. 😢

I don't have any cats right now but they are my absolute favorite animals.
They're cute, small(ish depending on the breed), and useful for dealing with vermin.

I have a stray tabby mix that comes around and he loves everyone.

Russian Blues are amazing cats. Very loving, very loyal, and super intelligent/perceptive. I will say too that tabbies are consistently very affectionate cats.

My Bombay is super affectionate, plays fetch, loves belly rubs, walks on a leash, comes when called, sleeps on my chest every night and kisses.

My Russian Blue is so lovable but she loves to be loved! Her favorite thing is when I serenade her with my acoustic guitar. She gets embarrassed for me when I sing the wrong note 😮 So cute!

You missed sphynx cats. I don’t know more affectionate cat than this breed. They really love their hoomans

[blackroseangel]

I have a little half Siamese boy, he didn't get the best start so he's a little shy but he loves to bring me his special stick every night before bed accompanied by lots shouting and still little dance

We used to have an American Bobtail. Most loving cat ever. Always would hop up and demand cuddles and love.

[jessicadotson]

Sphynx cats are by far the most affectionate!

[Fearepixeuhv]

We have 1 american short haired.

But 1 breed that should've definitely been on this list are calico's. I grew up with so many calicos in my life and each and everyone of them have been the most loveable, attachable cats I have ever had. I love each and every one of them. We have 1 meow.

Devon Rex absolutely❤ and Cornish too!

[runryerun]

American bobtail is the most underrated and affectionate cat!
