About character
It is generally accepted that cats are more affectionate, gentle, flexible, patient, easier to train, and less capricious. This is not entirely true. These character traits largely depend not on gender, but on the breed and individual characteristics of the animal. Affectionate cats can be found as often as aggressive cats, and anyone who has owned animals of different breeds more than once will confirm this.

There are differences in character:
- Males usually strive to “seize power” in the house, to become a dictator. At the same time, they do not disdain any methods. They are capricious, throw hysterics and in every possible way demand that their opinion be listened to.
- Cats are much more cunning. Like true women, they achieve their goal in roundabout ways. Often, owners don’t even notice how they find themselves “under the nail” of their furry beauty.
Therefore, when thinking about the question of whether to get a cat or a female cat, you need to think about what you would like more: reckless honesty or diplomatic cunning. Probably, if there is a child in the family, it is better to take a female. After all, she will not claim leadership, while the cat will become jealous of the owners for the baby. And the child is the center in any family, and it is unlikely that even the most beloved animal will be able to compete with him.
Cat or cat: which one to choose?
When getting a kitten, many questions arise: how to feed, care for, how to properly raise a pet. An equally important question is, who is better to take - a cat or a male cat? While the animal is very small, its character is almost not manifested. It doesn't matter what gender the kitten is. He will be cheerful, playful or calm, lazy, depending on his temperament. But as soon as he enters the age of a “teenager,” his character begins to depend entirely on his gender. Both cats and cats have their own distinctive characteristics. These are both advantages and significant disadvantages that can result in a problem if you do not know about them in advance. The main thing is to decide for yourself whether you can come to terms with the characteristics of your pet’s gender. Because owning an animal is an extremely responsible matter.
Cat or cat: which one to choose?
A cat is by nature like a man. Freedom-loving, somewhat capricious and cold in expressing feelings. Of course, a “little man” will allow you to stroke him and take him in your arms with a good, friendly attitude. But in his nature lies the need to dominate, to dominate. You cannot allow a cat to figuratively sit on your head. He must understand from the very beginning who is boss here. Cats' character is developed from childhood. Even as a kitten, he will actively attract attention to himself, explore the area and jump on furniture. An adult pet monitors everything that happens in the apartment - its curiosity and desire to control know no bounds. Whether the cleaning is being done, whether the TV is on, the hostess has gone to the kitchen or to another room - the cat is right there.
Specific features of cats:
Sometimes he can be aggressive if he doesn't like something. Less clean than a cat. Requires more care from the owners. “Marks” territory during puberty. The tags emit a sharp, unpleasant odor. As for cats, they are by nature gentler in nature. At first glance, they are less of a hassle, but they also have their own nuances. A cat may turn out to be vindictive and not forgive its owners for various methods of education. It is very important to gain the animal's trust from the very beginning. Cats, like all girls, love gentle treatment, affection and lots and lots of attention.
Specific features of cats:
During “estrus” they can meow loudly, scream and irritate not only their owners, but also their neighbors with these sounds. Such “attacks” can begin at any time of the day. The solution is sterilization. If you let your cat out for a walk, then very soon she may give birth to kittens. If your plans do not include breeding animals, then it is better to solve this issue once and for all by sterilization. Or just get a cat.
What is the difference between a cat and a cat in the manifestation of feelings?
Cat or cat: who to choose for your apartment?
It all depends on what people expect when buying an animal. Regardless of what gender the pet is, with proper upbringing and sufficient attention, it will selflessly love those who care for it. The cat is not shy about showing its feelings and can even be somewhat pushy. She will suck up, rub and look affectionately into your eyes. Sometimes you even have to gently chase the animal away, because the cat just won’t leave you alone. As for cats, they love their owners deeply and sincerely. They just rarely show it. All they need is a little affection and they go away on their own. Choice of cat, Cat
About hygiene
When it comes to hygiene, cats win. They are much cleaner and are willing to spend hours “cleaning their feathers.” Cats are a little careless in this regard.
Their own appearance does not bother them so much, and they are quite capable of “going out in public unkempt.” Although, with proper care from the owners, this problem can be easily solved. However, the fact remains that you won’t have to spend so much effort on a cat, and it will always remain a decoration of the apartment, embodying neatness and comfort.
For people prone to perfectionism, it is better to choose a female. Those who are ready to love an animal, no matter what they look like, can get a cat.
Behavior of cats and cats after sterilization
After surgery, obvious changes may occur.
Cats do develop a more laid-back personality after neutering and are often seen as more playful and cuddly. Females also take on a more relaxed behavior, which however does not seem as noticeable because, unlike males, they did not show much aggression from the very beginning. However, females often become more reserved. Additionally, neutering a cat plays a positive role in women's health, especially for those cats that would not be allowed to reproduce every year. Thanks to sterilization, their likelihood of developing tumors in the mammary glands and ovaries is reduced.
When it comes to cats and tomcats, there is no difference in behavior between animals that have been spayed and neutered. Both develop a wide range of habits based on their environment, upbringing and owner behavior. A cat can be aloof or friendly, depending on the conditions in which it was raised. The same goes for cats.
Only you can decide whether the differences between a cat and a male cat should be the deciding factor before purchasing a kitten. You will fall in love with an animal, regardless of gender, based on its habits and character. In any case, if you add a cat to your family, you will have another wonderful friend.
What to pay attention to
Cute meowing lumps behave exactly the same, it doesn’t matter if it’s a cat or a female cat. Who to choose depends on a number of factors
After all, the period of growing up will pass very quickly, and then the behavior of the animal will change. Kids respond to affection, play, explore the world and do not cause any particular inconvenience to their owners. But time passes and the differences become obvious. A cat is better suited for living in an apartment than a cat:
- Males mark “their” territory, which female cats never do.
- By nature, females are more affectionate towards their owners.
- Neatness is also more characteristic of ladies - they quickly get used to doing their business in the tray, and do not mess in the apartment.
But if the owners have a spacious country house, then it is better to get a four-legged male. He will have enough space to move around. You won't have to wait for surprises in the form of unplanned offspring. There will be no screams that usually accompany estrus in females. And to avoid damage to furniture and marks throughout the house, you can carry out a castration procedure. It is done in any veterinary clinic and will cost half as much as sterilization of an individual of the opposite sex. In addition, castration is much safer for the animal itself; there are fewer chances that complications will arise.
A cat or a female cat – which one is better to get?
Many cat owners often wonder who to choose: a male cat or a male cat. And the categorical nature of his or her opinion is directly related to imposed stereotypes or personal experience.
As practice shows, stereotypes take root in people over the years. For example, you couldn’t help but hear that ginger cats are necessarily cunning and affectionate, while Siamese cats are touchy and often hostile. But this is not always the case. Upbringing from infancy plays a huge role on the character of your four-legged friend. And before the start of this stage - the choice of a kitten from the litter. If the owner has the opportunity to choose a pet from the litter, it is better to watch the babies for a while. Some will be active, meow invitingly and try to get out of the box, while others, on the contrary, will behave calmly. And these will be the first signs of activity in your pet’s future.
In addition, felinologists assure that the greatest influence on the future character of an animal is the genetic information transmitted from parents along the breed line. When choosing a pet, it is recommended to pay attention to the character of its parents and their behavior. An important condition is the absence of aggression, the ability to make contact with a person, and the expression of affection.
Females are characterized by natural cunning, tenderness and the ability to compromise, unlike males. Males always occupy dominant positions, so in the case of a female, it will be easier to find a common language. Bad habits and skill training will be more successful if the owner shows his leadership qualities.
It is also necessary to take into account the fact that cats are excellent manipulators. Pretending that she is fulfilling the owner’s requests, the cat gradually begins to gain the trust of the person and use the person for her own purposes - sleeping on the owner’s pillows, begging for treats, stripping furniture and wallpaper.
Similar behavior is also inherent in cats, but due to their natural assertiveness, actions will be carried out self-confidently. With males, showing your dominant attitude is useless. The cat’s harmful habits will have to be stopped in a slightly different way: not by trying to prove one’s superiority, but by gradually directing the cat’s behavior in the right direction.
There is an opinion that males have greater intelligence than females. This is a controversial issue, just like the idea that cats are naturally cleaner. Males, even neutered ones, naturally have a stronger odor of urine and feces than females. People with a sensitive sense of smell perceive a specific aroma more strongly. Being dominant, the cat will always try to defend its rights. Females, on the contrary, are more cunning and pliable, because they need to take care of their offspring and obtain food.
Experts believe that a kitten’s belonging to a certain gender does not fully characterize its future character. Felinologists claim that even babies born from the same cat and who are close relatives to each other have their own character and inclinations.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that all animals have an individual set of characteristics and qualities. It is difficult to predict exactly what kind of animal the owner will grow up to have. The character of a cat is influenced by the process of upbringing, breed predisposition, and social conditions.
