But why is it that one cat prefers to hunt for mice and the other kitty doesn't like anything better than spending time cuddling with its human?
Whether a cat is cuddlier than its fellow cats depends not only on its breed, but also on its personality, age - seniors prefer to cuddle than kittens - and even their gender.
Male cats are considered more affectionate, especially when they are neutered.
Their socialization and previous experiences also play a big role in whether a cat likes to cuddle.

However, cat owners should always keep in mind that the cat breed alone is no guarantee that a representative of the breed enjoys cuddling.
Because cats also have individual personalities.
A specimen of the listed breeds is much more likely to romp around and hunt, while another cat breed that is not part of the picture gallery is a terribly cuddly cat.
