do you have a preference?

When it comes to getting a new kitten, or adopting one, do you have a preference of wether you want it to be a boy or girl?

I love all my cats, I really do, but when i was a kid my grandmother would only let me have boy cats because they dont produce kittens and they are cheaper to get fixed. But I love having my mummy's girl, until i got Heidy I always dreamed of having a girl cat. But of course, I love my boys, even if they are a bit more naughter

whats your preference?

I like little girls Don't know why i prefer girls though?!, maybe it's because nearly all my parents cats were girls?!.

I always go for boys now. I've had Jimmy, Norman, and the three I've got now, Raffles, Bruno and Rosso. They have all been/are really good "people" cats, loving to spend time with us, lazing on our laps, sleeping on our beds etc. They've also been sociable, "talking", head butting, etc. Of all these Raffles is probably the most aloof, he will only ever sit on my husband's lap - it must be a male bonding thing - and doesn't like petting in front of the kittens - he likes to look tough.

In contrast, I've had one female, Sophie, now deceased, bless her. We got her at only 6 weeks, the youngest of any of our cats and she was a beautiful kitten. Unfortunately she grew up into an aloof cat, not requiring humans other than to open her can food. She didn't like petting and if we went into a room where she was, she would choose to leave and settle down somewhere else. Still, she was a placid little soul and we miss her. I suspect it was the first 6 weeks of her life, she was a rescue cat, raised to a very young mother, by a lady who ran a livery stable and took in one or two rescues. Sophie and her siblings were born and nursed in her bathroom and the lady was so busy I suspect they had little handling/human contact in the first few weeks.

I know loads of people will immediately post telling me how wrong I am, but we've always gone for boys since. I do realise though that it's probably the cat's nature, not the gender, that determines its personality.

i originally was looking for a female kitten, but when i met teufel i just didnt care anymore!

I don't have a preference! Either way, they'll be my baby! I have a boy and a girl at the moment and if I were to get any more kitties, I wouldn't mind what sex they were!

ALL kitties are precious to me, boys and girls. I have had roommates and friends who have had boy cats that have been absolute JOYS. They make the WONDERFUL lap cats and, yes, most boy cats I've met have been the best "people cats".
However, I've always had girls and will probably continue to do so. The kitty love of my life, my first cat Stormy , was the sweetest girl imaginable and I think Eponine has followed in her footsteps. I love my girls, as aloof as they may be sometimes. There's just something fun about coming home and saying "Hi my little girls!"

I lean heavily towards boys. I had a a girl cat growing up and it could have just been her personality but she wasn't a people cat. While my boys are total lovers and lap cats.

Don't care either, they are all my babies.

I love all of my babies but I do prefer the behavior of females. Oscar is very needy, I can't leave him alone for a weekend like I do my girls. He cries a lot, and he *snaps* at times and attacks the girls. I love him more than life itself but girls are easier to live with.

I have 3 of both sexes.

My boycats are WAY more sociable, playful, and people-oriented than my girlcats!!! Of my 6 cats, I only chose 3 of them. I adopted 2 girls and one of the boys. The other cats were cast-off or strays that I took in, so they chose ME.

I know some nice male cats, but I prefer girl kitties.

I have 2 of each. Their personality determines my selection not their sex!!

I've had good females and bad females, but roxygo is the first male I've had. He's iffy at best. Moody and annoying and kind of a spaz. but i love him

I just pick up the kitten (or kittens) and one will feel just right and that's the one I pick - whatever sex it happens to be will be what I get.

I love any and all kitties. Sierra is my sweet little girl, though! If I was going to actually make the choice instead of adopting one that found me, I would probably get another little girl!

I've had both and can't say I have a preference. I love all my babies.
Have noticed a difference in personality between the girls and boys, but
don't think you can generalize. My girls are more shy and can be a little moody. My boys, Willy (RIP) and Pete, are more outgoing and laidback.

I've had a total of four cats, three boys and one girl. All are/were real lovers and until Red Cat got too big for my lap, all were definitely lap cats. The boys have all been frightened to death of any other human being, but that relates to their earlier life on the streets, not to their sex. Since I allow my cats outside, boy cats are more of a hassle, as even though they are neutered, all three of mine have been extremely territorial and would get in more fights.

I honestly love all my kits the same, and Tiggy, being a boy, is the most loveable thing in the world. I can't get enough of him. Petals, my youngest girl, is the apple of my eye, and Trixie is her mommy's lovebug!! Doesn't matter one way or another to me.......love em all!!!

i always preferred the females, but the most loveable cats i've had seem to be males, i've heard that male cats prefer female owners, but i think it depends on the cat, at one time i had 11 cats, and the boys all seemed to love me more than the girls, but i have a female now that adores me, so i think it's about personality not sex
