If you are wondering what is the right cat for you, this is the place to be. In this introductory forum we talk about topics such as breed vs. mix, size, age, grooming, breeders, shelters, rescues as well as requirements for exercise, space and care. No question is too silly here. This particular forum is for getting and giving helpful, nice advice. It is definitely not a forum for criticizing someone else's opinion, knowledge or advice. This forum is all about purring and learning.

 My kittyboy, I- miss you.

| Purred: Tue Jun 23, '09 12:22pm PST | |  |  |  |  | I was Mama's heart cat, her kittyboy, and also her lap robe. It's okay, she made a good bed. I didn't get on counters and get into stuff.
Now she's living with my kitty niece, who does all of the above and isn't as lovey as I was. Fortunately for her, Mischief isn't really hers, but my Sissy's. Mama says if she gets another cat, she hopes it's a kittyboy. We both know there will never be another one like me.  |  |  |  |  |

She has had laid back boys, and I am laid back, she has had playful boys and you should see my sisfur-she is a wild thing! You are better off looking at cats and finding one that is a good match to your household...no matter what it is. |  |  |  |  |

| Purred: Tue Jun 30, '09 1:48am PST | |  |  |  |  | I haven't read the entire thread, so I may be repeating information. A survey from The University of Pennsylvania (or Cornell Vet school, which I amost ended up at 30 years ago--now I "do" Japanese literature)--anyway, the ranking was neutered males being the most affectionate, spayed females being second, unspayed females being third, and unneutered males being fourth. Obviously, there are differences--the most important being, what kind of environment was your cat brought up in? And there are genetic things involved as well. The reason I started breeding Maine Coons was because, well, first, I assumed that they are are an extremely affectionate breed. They are not so always. The three cats I got from Breeder Daddy range from affectionate (Harvey took three years to become affectionate), to the eternally cheerful, but not necessarily affectionate Chibi, to the "don't bother me more than once a day" Leila. The major reason I wanted to become a breeder myself (and Breeder Daddy is NOT a bad breeder, mind you) is that I wanted to create affectionate cats who would find good homes. Only Currier has turned out to share her mother's tendency to be cold. The other kittens have been the most affectionate kittens I've ever seen. And I am not perfect. It was my first litter, and there were a lot of mistakes. In my book, an affectionate cat is the ultimate cat, whatever the breed or no breed. |  |  |  |  |

| Purred: Sun Aug 16, '09 11:29pm PST | |  |  |  |  | I have a male and a female cat. Growing up we had two fixed females, they would cuddle but never cuddly as my males, however my female now is just almost as loving as my male. He'll follow you around for cuddles, she only does sometimes but loves to cuddle up next to you while you nap/sleep.
Spayed and Neutered cats seems to have the best personalities overall. |  |  |  |  |
