Re: More Solomon~


I meant to ask you Tink - is Solomon your first male cat?

Ah, well.. in a sense.
We had mostly males when I was growing up and living at home with parents.
My first cat as an adult when I was 18 (just a week after moving into my very first apartment) was a male and sadly I lost him in a battle with my ex when we split up several years later. He was my only cat as an "adult" before Kuan Yin who didn't come along till I was 27.
So he's not exactly my first but in a way he feels like it.

We all love both genders of course, but males are different in all sorts of subtle ways!!! I know we've discussed it before on Catsey, but it may be worthwhile doing it again with new members and new cats of both genders!

What do you think?

Re: More Solomon~


I'd certainly be interested to see the different thoughts - being very new to cat owning, and only having a girl... Mind, I do occasionally get to see boyhood with Cloud's brother...

Re: More Solomon~


That boy just makes me smile. He doesn't even need to try - he just is!

On the male/female divide although my two are girls and I wouldn't swop them for the world. If I had a choice I would have a male. All my males in the past have been big sops, cuddly, lazy, lovely boys. My girls have always been a bit more feisty.

I was counting him as a childhood kitty since he came in to my life when I was 11 years old and only took care of him for my Mom the last two years of his life. I guess I didn't feel he was completely my cat if that makes sense?
