Male Cats Versus The Female Cats

It is said that in a survey of over 120 cat lovers, it is said that it has come to the conclusion that there are no distinct personality differences at all between the male and the female cat.

The breed can determine the cats personality, when socialization, and the history and a many number of other factors as well.

While a little more than 50% of the owners that surveyed had claimed that their male cats were more affectionate – the remaining 45% did claim that just the opposite their female cats were the more affectionate ones than the other.

I still believe that the breed of the cat that you will choose is one of the biggest factors in the determining personality so if you are or have considered adopting a new cat, but just by doing a good research on the breed that you want it will give you a more accurate reading than choosing based on gender of your cat.

I’m just thinking that this is also based on the assumption that you will have your cat Spayed/neutered. If you are not or have planed on having your cat fixed, an unsprayed female will really make a much better pet for you than a non neutered Male cat just by simply because of the non neutered males that tend to be very Aggressive and they are very likely to start spray urine .

A major important factor also is that plays a part in your cat's personality is how it Does socialized during it's first 12 weeks of its young life. and for this reason, you Should always find out as much as you can relating to a kitten's background before Taking it anywhere near your home.

If you are looking to get your kitten from a breeder or even from someone you who that has been caring for the kitten since it's birth, this will be easy.

If you do get a kitten from a shelter or pet adoption center, this will be even harder and make it Imposable to find out your kitten's history. Even if you can or cant get the

Info you require from its parents, or infant how it was kept in and what conditions the kitten was raised.

Nerveless, as I have shown you with the 11 feral I tamed and have socialized, even if the kitten may have came from less than fortunate circumstances in the way you do raise the kitten from that point on and how it will play a huge part in shaping his or her personality.

9 months ago I brought a 7 ½ week old kitten from the local shelter who, at the time was extremely vocal indeed, and somewhat skittish, and loved to bite things!

today this cat is very bold indeed, and is an outgoing cat, and extremely friendly. and a good cat personality as well.
