Choosing the Right Cat

GO!
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.

I've owned 4 male cats and 3 female cats in my life. I love em' both to death but if I had to say which ones were better, I'd probably lean towards the males. Every cat has it's own unique personality so believe me, THAT is what you really should be looking at and not the sex. But I've found that cats in a strange way aren't all that different from humans. The females have a maternal instinct that the males don't, they are more protective and the females are smarter. The males on the other hand were more friendly and far more likely to hang out with you.

I will say this however. Of the seven cats I have owned, by far, the two I have loved the most were both Domestic Blues. One was a female (Smokey) and the other one is a male (Pugsley).

I've had the pleasure of loving and being loved by many cats. I have had females and males. Funny though, all of my heart cats have been males..I don't know why.
Jeepurrshas been as close to a female heart cat that I have ever had.

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. laugh out loud

Mommy has had both, and she thinks it is the cat not the sex of the cat that makes the difference. 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.

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.

Sprinkles is female and not spayed yet. She's very talkative and adorable so I have to say I love females.

Mommy has only ever had boy kitties, so she prefers us boys. All of her boys have been mama's boys, including me and my brother! MOL

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.
