Male or Female


I know we've more than likely gone over this before but with so many new members thought it might be worth rehashing.

Do you prefer male or female cats? and if so why? Or is there no to little difference onc spayed/neutured?

Re: Male or Female


I prefer males, but only because I had them first I spose, certainly now wouldnt mind either. Dont think neutering makes any difference to either sex, except I do like the recovery rate of a Tom Cat, like 10 minutes!

Re: Male or Female


I have had both a male and female at different times, both neutered. I wouldn't mind either again as they both have their own unique little ways. I would say that, with me, Sam was outgoing, king of his patch, ginger Tom who was a real cuddlebug indoors whereas Cassie is timid and 'ladylike' but still as loveable.

I don't think neutering makes a lot of difference to either sex....

Re: Male or Female


Well Timmy is really our first tom cat, he will be done as soon as he's old enough.

So far I haven't seen a difference in the girls to Timmy but when he get's older I'll let you know

Re: Male or Female


Over the years, I've had 4 males and 3 females, all neutered. Generalizing, the males were slightly more affectionate, the females quieter and less likely to get into mischief. But it was really more of individual personality than sex.
