Which pet will be more attached to the owner – a male cat or a female cat?

When choosing a pet, it is important to pay attention to its gender.

When we decide to get a furry companion, we should remember that their gender can influence their character, and these differences persist even in neutered animals.

If we want an adorable furry friend that stays close to home and leads a settled lifestyle, it’s better to choose a male cat. They tend to adjust more easily to their owners and adapt better to domestic conditions. Male cats are generally calmer and quicker to learn litter box habits compared to female cats.

However, it’s important to note that this behavior applies specifically to neutered animals. A healthy sexually mature male cat will start marking territory with scent and may seek to go outside.

Nevertheless, it would be incorrect to assume that a female cat will be less intelligent than a male cat. Many female cats behave calmly and often turn out to be more affectionate, and they quickly adapt to using the litter box.

If the plan includes allowing the cat to roam freely, even a spayed female cat will likely go for walks for the first few years of her life. Additionally, female cats are generally better at catching mice and dedicate a significant amount of time to hunting.

While the male cat will mostly stay near the house and be in sight most of the time, the female cat may wander for the entire day, which can cause some inconvenience for the owner. However, when the animals reach three years of age, they usually tend to live closer to their home regardless of gender.

Overall, a female cat will always be more independent than a male cat. Of course, much depends on the hereditary traits and the character of the individual pet.
