I did have a female cat that saw the circulating water dish wasn't working (I had unplugged it to clean it) and she just started smacking the crap out of it to get it to work. This was strangely endearing. :)
Oh my gosh how hilarious I'm waiting for 2 girls to arrive from the shelter. I had a girl & 2 boys so I get a kick out of both. I love Siamese. They are a hoot to have very dog like.🎉
I’ve had cats for 40 years. Some as kittens, but mostly full, grown male and female, and I have found that each has its own personality. I’ve had male cats that were affectionate and some that weren’t and the same for female. I’m not sure how much of this information has actually been proven.
Don't ignore physical differences as well. Males are usually bigger, taller and more muscular much like apes and humans. Their snouts and jaws are larger and noses longer. Male cat's paws are also bigger and they sometimes appear more clumsy than do females. When playing males are more apt to wrestle while females prefer to slap and box. It sometimes seems that female cats have faster reflexes possibly because of their smaller size. These of course are generalizations as your feline mileage may vary.
nope, every female I owned played fetch and the first calico domestic shorthair was the one who started the game to begin with. I had a bangle that had to play every morning at 6 AM no matter what…. females do play with their owners anybody else?
One of my females (aged about 2, so not a kitten) is ludicrously playful and has invented games involving a stick, a ball and a piece of string (not all at once). She's also good at juggling toy mice and dribbling a sponge ball down the hallway. The other one, who is about 3, has been learning from watching her and will engage in the games but is too lazy to play for long (unless there's food involved). They're both affectionate, especially the older one, though not lap cats as such, and they like to shuttle between my room and my son's at night so we both get the benefit of their company. I didn't let my previous male cat come in my room at night because he tended to bash my feet if I moved them without permission. He was a beautiful and quite intelligent fellow, but we did have some personality clashes. He liked a game as well, especially playing bullfighters (he was the bull, of course) with a teaser on a stick. The little female I had at the time would catch the teaser and then just sit on it. Game over. They all are or were black and white moggies, if that matters.
Hands are not toys. You will teach kitty to bite if you rough play with your hands. Cute when it’s a little kitten, but changes as he grows big and still wants to bite you. You only have yourself to blame.
Depends on how you train them, my cat loves biting things and bites my hand just enough for me to notice but not hurt. Giving proper respons is key to get them in right behaviour, removing a part of normal play (between cats) isn't great but regulating it to be tolerable. Bite but not that it hurts.
@@evenjesuscantsaveyouanymor6163 I sort of agree. If you know and understand cats, it can be ok. As in any relationship with a cat, it depends on how you do it and the cat’s disposition. I have one that bites, but not hard - like you said. I let out a little cry, and he stops to lick my hand. Some cats are just feistier than others, and I think you should start as gentle as you can. My other cat was a very mean kitten, and it took me two years to calm him. Now he’s fine.
I have a very big tortoise coloured female cat and a tiny black and white female they are both highly strung but they are very friendly to each other as well .
My female cat is an enthusiastic hunter, picky about how and when she will be affectionate (lap sitting is out) and has no truck with other cats coming on to her patch. She is however very gentle with me and will come and get me for "Help" whenever she wants a door opened or has batted a toy under something and can't reach it. She also yells at me about anything and everything.
I've had two girls and both were very affectionate and ultra-territorial. I also found it was a lot easier to get two unrelated males to get along than 2 females.
Speaking of temper, the champian hunter cat of neighbors loki, he was so strong, he killed a racoon. But he always feaared his mate carol, because if he layed a paw on her kittens, even if the kitten was fine with loki doing this, carol would lash out get mad at loki, she would be his worse nightmare when he got a little to close to her kittens
I love calico and torties. I have 2 torties Missy Pants and Too-Too. They are sisters about 7 years old. Lily my black and white female is the mother. Then theres Gorgeou George and he is 11 years old. I have had cats that have lived into their 20's. The best advice I can give people is, watch your cat and learn from them. I have had cats with kittens, rescued many cats and my daughter has a cat rescue. I help her out when I can. I'm getting too old to care for so many kittens. Having a rescue while rewarding, its also very sad. Unfortunately, not everyone likes cats and if people don't understand cats as pets, the cat/kitten may be horribly abused which is heartbreaking. I've rescued kittens that have been taken away from their mothers too young and are starving because the people didn't know how to feed them. The last 3 boys were about a week old and my daughter asked me to help because these babies were so sick and malnourished, bad case of diahrrea from what they were being fed. I made them my "kitty eggnog" which is full of fat and protein (raw egg, half and half, mixed with kitten chow and canned kitty milk. Mixed it all up, put in microwave to heat, let it cool to room temp. Done. I have saved many a kitten with this recipe. I'm known as crazy cat lady and a person I worked with for many years used to tell people that if she died and ciuld come back, she would like to come back to one of my cats! ❤❤❤😺😽
My girl is only interested in cat food and getting affection while my boy prefers to eat mice and doesn't ask for attention. Male is small, female is big... So quite the opposite in nearly everything you said. 😀
My Tuxedo male was the smartest, most affectionate and loyal cat I ever had. He crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 15 years shy 1 month of being 16. I miss him soo much. So I got 2 cats from the shelter, a 4 year old female Tortoise and a 2 year old male cat. At first the female was dominante but that changed, the male chases her and runs near the litter box when ever the female goes. Doesn't matter what litter box he still does it. I love both cats but I'm concerned about Buster our male. Its like a switch at times he does nothing to her than he changes. Mertile has such a sweet personality. Neither has kneaded or sat on my lap yet. In time I hope they do.
I've had cats for fifty years. My top three cat of all time, by a long shot, were males. Biggest personalities, most entertaining, and closest bond with me. I've had some good female cats, but they tend to be lap cats and a little aloof. All my cats were neutered, but there is still a clear difference.
I've had cats nearly all my life. My females were quite territorial, got into everything, protective of children, especially with babies, and affectionate to the point they became pests, and loved kicking cat but on my males. My males were somewhat territorial, and fought both cat slapping and were great sitters.
I have 2 siblings, boy Ingolf and a girl, Cirkeline, 4,5 months old. The girl is so fast at hunting the toy. Ingolf is more laid back He is white and she is Tabby Have you made any episodes about color and personality of a cat? 😻
I’ve had both since 1980, and now have my first pair. My girl is a big lap warmer and sometimes my boy will be on my lap. My boy has slowed down wanting to play fetch. My girl was more into foil balls. Now both don’t care much for play now. Lap, cat bed, or chair. Both genders are good depending on preference.
I had five cats, three girls and two boys, all neutered. The girls carved up the house. Each had her own human bedroom territory where the other two girls weren’t allowed. The girls didn’t display any affection to the other girls. The girls let the two boys go anywhere, and the boys could be found on any human bed. The boys often cuddled up together on a couch or in a box.
My female cat could be held upside down and would do anything like cuddling so idk about females not being so affectionate, it depends on their personality really
These stereotypes or generalizations are sometimes inaccurate. For example my female older kitten is very affectionate and physical, needing lots of petting, tapping my legs and giving love bites, is playful and loves to explore. Many of the hero cats in the news I see on YT have been female. On the other hand, our older male who has wide shoulders and a swag walk likes to corral her to her room which she returns to on her own most of the time. The female has girly narrow shoulders and a big rear my husband and I call a J Lo butt
I have always had female cats and I prefer them. I had a meet and greet at the vet with a male cat that needed a home and he showed no interest in me at all. I knew straight away that it wasn't a match.
Seeing how my 1st male cat, after being neutered, became fat 7 kg, not so playful (at only just over 1 years old) when the new unneuteted cat (3.5 months old) is so vibrant extremely playful, is making me wonder if I should neuter the 2nd one. Any recommendations ?
In the case of Spaded Female versus Unspaded Female, I find that Unspaded female cats are 10× times more affectionate than unspaded female cats but Nutored Males versus Un-Nutored Male Cats is the opposite. Nutored Male cats are more playful. Un-Unutored Male Cats are much more territorial. Personality differs for cat breeds.

In my opinion male cats win the colors their appearances as some female cats are very cute when as calico or turtleshell this also opens up the path to being a lot less cute that other fixed color cats but, in the end it is about your simplicity I will go with males since I like there simplicity and fixed colors

I had a female shorthaired ginger who had kittens with a white Persian. 4 ginger kittens, 3 female longhairs, 1 male shorthair. You said that the ginger gene had to be inherited from both parents but unless the ginger gene is dominant over or equal to the white-haired gene this combination wouldn't have been possible. Also, the problem-solving thing is pretty much BS from what I've seen from my own and other cats. I've been recently watching Todd Speaks where he basically invents new combinations for existing cat toys, and even learned how to operate some of them on his own. I've had 1 female cat that learned to use her paw to get rid of her collar by lifting it over her head, 1 male that found the collar's weak point (the elastic) and found a way to chew through it, and I remember hearing about a friend's male who got rid of their collar using a tree branch.

female cats are much smarter then male cats. they have to take caee of their kittens and themselves. i have a red female cat and she learns so fast. today my son hide a box of cattoys in his room and they broke in and stole some. he does not even know were he had them but they did from the rare visites i made with them. i love my cats. :) before that i was wondering were a starten toy came from. but they did it before without us even knowing it.
It's not true that when a cat attacks your hands it's not trying to hurt you. It's literally hunting and chewing on you, it's not affectionate. You shouldn't teach your cat to bite you and use your body as a chew toy because they will attack other people. Use a toy on a stick for them to chase around while you engage them in a healthy play time. Also, both male and female make good companions because it's about how they are socialized not gender. I have had both genders and each have their own personalities and ways of showing affection. My first cat was a female and she was very physically affectionate but my second cat was male and he was more social with everyone and liked my neighbors dogs and cats. My current cat is male and he is more affectionate than my other two, he loves belly rubs and hugging when held. He cleans me and has never used me as his chew toy because he was taught to not bite people. It is abusive to teach your cat to bite you and use you as a toy. Would you teach your dog to attack you and use you as a chew toy? Why would you? There are cat toys for a reason.
