Which do you prefer to have in the house?

I have had many of both genders and the love they provide is unconditional. Right now I have one female and one male. The female is a calico/Siamese mix and neurotic as they come and the male is a big white cat we adopted as a tiny kitten. He is the gentlest, most loving creature on the planet. So gender really plays no role in their temperament. However having them spayed or neutered is definite factor in either gender. They are always much better emotionally afterwards.

I do love the male personality. I have found though that you have to nueter them early or they will spray. I have had both that were very sweey. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoo

I have had both. My male cats always seem more affectionate to me. Creamery is the type that will come up and hug you, putting both paws on your shoulders, then kiss your chin. He comes to meet the car. I think each has its pluses and minuses, I just enjoy cats.

At my parents house we have had both male and female cats and right now we only have a female cat because one of the male cats which was the female cats brother had to be put to sleep because he had cancer which was like six or seven years ago,and the other one passed about a year or so ago,and the female cat is at least eighteen years old,and I think they both make good pets,and I could not choose between male and females cats,and I would rather have at least one of each.

i will never keep a cat. from dogs to fish, rabbit, turtle. everything is ok but cat. as to the gender, don't give more consideration about that.

I would prefer male. We just have a female now, as I had to give away my male cat. Ours are the exact oppsite of yours. My moms cat is a female and shes a mean little thing!

Yes, gender do effects on the character of pets. In China, people always do a little operation with the males so that they won't reproduce a kitty. This also change the pet behavior and character. In my opinion, you love pet and it give back to you, that's the point. Right?

I am a cat person myself and have had them all of my life. This year was my first experience owning a dog (Yorkshire Terrier) and I can tell you that I prefer cats over dogs -- HANDS DOWN! Cats are so laid back and aren't needy pets. Dogs are just like having another kid in the house! They want to be everywhere you are, which can really be annoying at times! I also can't stand having to bathe them and pick up after them. Now I know where the saying comes from "stinks like a dog". Our dog even stinks AFTER a bath. I can't stand that about dogs! Cats, on the other hand are self-sufficient. They do everything when and IF they want to. They are on their very own schedule....not yours. They are clean, clean, clean and when you find the right litter for their box, you won't be able to part! I love that about cats. Currently, we have two cats in our house. They both stay indoor at all times. Patches, our Calico is very sweet and loving. Lulu, our Maine Koone is sweet, but can be loving. If you know anything about the breed, they are very skiddish and will only get in your lap or come over for a stroke if it's solely THEIR idea. Patches is 12 years old and Lulu is 10 years old. Lulu is just getting to the point that she will come to ME (not really anyone else in the house) and trusts me. She has figured out that I have no hidden agendas, which is a good thing!:) Patches isn't shy at all. She is always right between me and my hubby in our bed at night and sometimes sleeps on our heads! At nearly 20 pounds, she can get really heavy at times! As far as gender goes, I too, have had both male and female cats. It does depend on the cat, I believe. They all have such unique ways and preferances, it's hard to say. "In a cats eyes, ALL THINGS BELONG TO CATS" Don't you agree???
