I had a boy. He wasn't too affectionate. However, I loved him very much anyway. He was neutered. He loved to sleep next to me during the summer and on top of me during the winter. He let me pet him all I wanted, while sleeping. I miss him a lot😢❤

Some of the nicest cats I have had were males. My last male greeted every guest at the door and would sit at the guest's feet and look up until it felt properly acknowledged.

My neighbor had a male cat and he would often come back home battered and bruised. We just assumed he fought other cats but one time we caught him fighting a racoon. He won that fight.

An orange cat was born into my life and stayed with me for 21 years. Stevie (he liked this name) was NOT broken so he didn't need fixing. Stevie lived indoors with me his whole life and had an about 50 word vocabalaric understanding. He also did many "tricks" at my request. Stevie's main mission in life seemed to be being availabe to me for snuggling and socialising with other people and animals, even large dogs. Stevie was amazing!

My female cat was definitely more elegant than the male one. For example, when she sat, her two front legs stayed together nicely, while the male pal always kept them apart like human men 😂 and she was far more hygienic

I've always had male cats until I got Desi a few years ago. She's by far the most affectionate cat I've ever known. She's a lap cat and she loves to be cuddled and held like a baby.

I was surprised the biggest health issue with males wasn’t addressed here. Urinary blockages and infections are incredibly common in male cats. I’ve had 4, unrelated, male cats that had urinary issues. One of the times I went to the vet, she said 4 other cats were being treated for the same issue that day

Every cat is so different. I've had cats most of my life, usually two or three at a time. The only behavioral consistency I've seen is that males do tend to be more casual while females usually tend to be more careful. They are very much like people in that way. But I've known females who were more adventurous and males who were timid. I think their personalities and early experience play major factors in this.

I have 2 female sister cats who couldn't be more different from each other. One is playful fluffy and so demanding, while her sister is the streamlined huntress, only cuddles when she wants to, always on alert mode. And I love them both so much. My little babies Roxy and Ruby ❤💯

I had 3 female cats growing up and they all hated each other, I now have 2 male cats and they are best buddies literally sleep on top of each other and clean each other everyday.

I have had both male and female cats, always spayed or neutered. In my experience, my neutered males are the most loving cats I’ve had. I have had two or more cats for years, but in the last year just have one cat, a neutered male, who is about 13 years old. He is my shadow, following me around, even to the bathroom. As I type this, he is lying on my lap and wanting to be petted. His name is Milo and is a ginger tabby. He’s the second ginger tabby I’ve had in my life and they were both males and both extremely affectionate.

I buried my friend last month. Teran was Neutered and only ever visited the vet twice in his life. He was 17 years old.

Over the course of fifty years, I’ve had many male cats, all neutered. I loved them all, and thought I knew all about cat’s’ personalities. Then a few years ago I adopted a tiny female cat (spayed) and am still amazed at how different her personality is. She’s happy, very affectionate, and so gentle. No roughhousing like the guys all loved to do. No, she wants to be held, cuddled, combed and carried.

She has a very sensitive streak; the only time I ever yelled at her ( she was on the table), she literally ran away crying. She was troubled for hours afterwards. The males would not have cared, they would have given me the tail and sauntered off.

She’s smart and very obedient, and eager to please me. So unlike my cat before her, who was quite rebellious until maybe age 7.

No, she does not represent all female cats. I’d like to hear about the experiences of others.

I have had both male and female cats for most of my life. Both can be very loving, but they express their love in different ways. Right now, I have 2 males and 1 female. The males are like my best buddies. They love petting and just hanging out with me. My female cat is very sweet and more motherly to the other two. She loves to snuggle and cuddle.

I have both a male and female cat.
Got my female cat, Lily first and she was very playful as a kitten. She used to run inbetween my legs and bite my ankles as I’m walking. She got spayed at 10 months old.
About a year and 3 months I got another kitten, male called Cosmo and the day I brought him home Lily hasn’t been the same.
Not in a bad way!

It took her some time to get used to the new roommate and about week 2 she was grooming him, sleeping next to him acting like a mother cat, she still does even nearly 2 years later 😂

Lily is 3 now and Cosmo will be 2 next month 😊 as I’m typing this both of them are laid on my lap

My female cat was extremely affectionate and verbal. You could carry a conversation with my female cat lol

I owned a male American Shorthair that had been a street cat, got to the shelter at 3-5 years old, got neutered and I picked him. As he was already grown he had all his claws. He was huge, 13 pounds of climbing beast. He had a torn ear, didn't spray, was affectionate with me, and would take clues from me how to act with others. I bonded with him by brushing him every night in bed. He was mostly an indoor cat however, I picked up a small harness and a leash and would take him on walks. When he got tired walking I would put him on my shoulder. This when wearing a leather vest or denim jacket. He traveled well, liked going in the car on cross country trips. He liked catnip, didn't like other cats. He did not like loud noises. He caught mice. A couple times decapitating them and presenting them to me. He was good with the litter box.
He was health and strong for 13 years with me. He had a stroke, had problems eating, drinking, walking and went deaf. He was going to starve if I didn't put him down. I still sometimes miss him.
Pete was a good pet. Pete? Who names a cat Pete? Pete was all black. I got him home from the shelter and was wondering what to name him. I put on some music, Workingman's Dead. Song six came on, a blues tune, Black Peter. That's how he got his name.
At night he would climb up on my bed expecting to be brushed. I would pull a sheet over my face and say "Pete, where's my kitty?" and he would pull the sheet down and I would brush him.

The 2 most affectionate cats I've ever known were both females. One was spayed when she was young and one had 5 kittens when we got her.

Definitely found firsthand through my own cats and my kid’s cats that females are more aloof. The boys have been much more sociable to each other and to their humans. The females have hated their female cat housemates and the boys tend to buddy up. This is a small sample size and every cat is unique as far as their traits. I’m sure I could have different experiences with male/female but my default is to go with males. Especially love the wide cheek Toms.

I have had cats for most of the last 45 years. I've had mostly neutered males, but a few spayed females. Currently have a 17 year old female. She does not like having another cat in the house. She loves to have someone pet her, but hates to be picked up. She especially likes my son and husband to give her attention. She is very spoiled, of course.
