Cat-people like independence.
Exactly. Dogs have way too much 'maintenance' whilst the only 'maintenance' a cat needs is some food in case she has had a bad hunt.

That doesn't mean the cats don't cuddle 75-ish% of the time anyway. 
My cat can't stand staying in the house for too long, especially not when it's dark outside and in particular when I'm at home. So, naturally, when she's outside, she can't cuddle.
