I'm wondering if it is better to group cats by gender? Assuming everyone is spayed/neuteured.
So far all my male cats get along together. I tried mixing male with female and that didn't work. The female cats all get along but have to be kept separate from the males.
I have only one girl cat who can be with the boys without too much fussing. I also have one male cat who can be with the females without problems.
But trying to get everyone to get along is impossible. I'm lucky I live in the country and the female cats can go outside safely. I try to rotate who is allowed where, so everyone gets some attention.
I am wondering what I should look for in my next cat? Should I get a male, since the boys seem to get along best? Not that I am looking for another cat, but I always end up taking in rescues, or having a stray show up.
So far, the boys seem to be more affectionate towards people, and less likely to bite, although that could just be their personality.
What do you think? Are males more affectionate? is it better to group cats by gender?
