While cats are known for being relatively independent and easy to care for, some breeds are definitely more snuggly than others.

#2 – British Shorthair
British Shorthairs are unique cats that do well on their own and make great cats for active families or owners who are often away from home. Despite their independence, they do enjoy spending time in your lap when you are home.
#3 – Norwegian Forest Cat
This breed developed naturally in northern Europe and is well-adapted to very cold weather. Because of their semi-domestic nature, they fare well with owners who are often away.
#4 – Scottish Fold
Scottish Folds are well-known for their unique, folded ears that make them so memorable. These adorable cats are playful and loving, but are self-contained enough to do well with owners who need to be away for long hours.
#5 – Maine Coon
This large breed does need regular grooming because of its long coat, but does well with less attention than other breeds might require. They are affectionate but still able to stay home alone all day without becoming depressed.
#6 – Persian
Persians are an old breed that does well with little attention during the day from anything but a favorite sofa or bed. They are very affectionate with their owners but shy towards strangers and do not like constant attention. They are independent and do well when left alone.
