Male or female cat to take? Does this even matter so much? If you don’t think so, you’re obviously not yet in the “cat-trapped” category. There is a difference, and a serious one.

Although they have lived with humans for thousands of years, cats are not really fully domesticated.

In addition, they are territorial animals and loners, and this means that, unlike the dog, individual characteristics, including gender, are far more important because the cat is far more willing to listen to his own instinct than his owner. And much of her behavior is determined by whether she is male or female.

The obvious difference is that male cats are larger, with larger heads and paws. If you like cats in three colors – white, black and orange – these are females, and for males this combination is extremely rare. On the other hand, an orange or orange-and-white striped cat is far more likely to be male.

As a character, cats are more independent, less affectionate and less likely to seek attention. The cat is less likely to be left petted and cuddled if it does not want to. He does not tolerate masters and decides for himself when to allow you to caress, play and feed him. If you try to hug him without him wanting to, he can become aggressive, and quickly and sharply.

Since the home is an area in which he considers himself the master, the cat closely monitors everything that happens in it and shows great curiosity about any change. He is more inclined to study people and follow them to keep them under control. In other words, if you do something, the cat will almost certainly intervene and interfere with you.

If you want fluff purring in your lap, it’s best to target a female cat.

She, unlike the cat, will follow you everywhere, just to curl up on you the moment you sit or lie down. If the cat is impudent and dominant, the cat is more capricious and cunning in gaining control over its territory and over you. She seeks caresses, follows the man, rubs and licks him and generally stays closer.

In addition, in this way she communicates more actively, unlike the cat, which usually stands at a distance away.

Due to the more independent nature of cats, they are more suitable for people who are absent more often or all day – this will not bother them much.

If you decide to neuter your new pet – which is highly recommended for both sexes – the operation in males is easier and less noticeable – they remove the testicles, while females need to remove the uterus and ovaries.

Testicular surgery is a far simpler procedure and does not even require stitches, while castration of a female cat requires several days of recovery. For obvious reasons, castration of a male cat is cheaper than that of a female. In both cases, however, anesthesia is used.

It is good to keep in mind that female cats can get pregnant after 5 months. However, sterilization is recommended at a later stage – around the sixth month, when fully developed. Therefore, if you do not want kittens, you should not let the cat out.

However, if you do not want to neuter your cat, there is a difference in the way males and females are dispersed, although in both cases the situation is almost intolerable.

Males begin to mark territory with urine and secretions, and the smell is terrible and remains for a long time. The aim is, on the one hand, to attract scattered females and, on the other hand, to show potential rivals that this is their possession. The result is a stench that no one would want at home.

Males are more likely to pee outside their toilet – again to mark territory – and can continue to do so even if they are castrated.

In addition, uncastrated cats are more likely to want to run away from home and wander. They are also more aggressive by nature.

Female cats do not mark, but when they chase, they begin to meow loudly, and for some this may be constant and can drive anyone crazy. And, of course, if they are “dropped” or the owner just can’t stand the noise and provides them with a cat, there are – almost guaranteed – kittens that can’t always be given away easily.

Is this selfish lonely? How long can the cat stand alone

It depends on age, character and owner

Therefore, if we are looking for good and bad traits – both sexes in cats have such and it is good for a person to judge according to his own nature which one he would like more.

However, it should not be forgotten that these are still conditional characteristics, and cats are extremely wayward animals and can always surprise with something unexpected. But if you want a cat and you think you are ready to accept the role of a slave and not a master – then you will swallow the specifics of her sex.
