Both my brownie and mui mui are boys. I guess they are cheapest and easiler to get fix. They play rough with my hubby a lot. However, they do not look decent when they laid around on their back, especially when there is guest around.

I had a female cat before, she was given to us when she was 6 months old. She get heated a lot of time and was really unpleasant. Maybe that is why I prefer a male cat.

This thread just touched my heart and it's not even a sad thread! When I decided it was time to adopt again, I wanted a rescued kitty who needed a home. I automatically thought it would be a little boy, to replace our beloved Freddie with another younger boy pal for Sasha. That was my preference. I had a very emotional time thinking about another girl, after the loss of my best friend of 11 years, SiSi. But the call came from a member on this site for who is now our Saba.......a little girl. Life works in mysterious ways!

I don't usually get a choice.
BUT if I did, I would choose boys. I've had three male kitties in my life. They were all such cuddlers and very attentive to their Mommy. Not to say that I don't love my girls because I absolutely do. I think I like males because they are larger, too.

My hubby prefers the girl cats and most of them end up being Daddy's girls

I know it might be just the way it has turned out in my family, but that it my experience. Most of the strays that have appeared at my house are girls

a (fixed) boy!

they're more mushy, they're not as head-strong as girls are, and they're more easy-going
plus, girls always seem to be moody and have major attitudes.

I never got to pick any of my pets...they always seem to pick me!! I seem to be destined to live with boys, though. There's my hubby, my stepson and his friends, all my cats are boys, even my bird was a boy! I swore that the next being that came to live in our house would be a girl. Then I met my little Forest boy, and he wobbled into my heart and stuck there.

i prefer females because i don't have to worry about spraying... & the neutering fee is only about $5.00 more where i take mine.

At the kitty's beck and call
I had boy kitties as a child and got a boy kitty for my parents when Sooty died. But for our kitties we chose girls (well, we didn't actually choose Adelaide, she chose us - but it wouldn't have mattered if she was a boy). If I was to choose another kitty - it would be a girl.

The only time I've really had a choice was with Shasta. For whatever reason, I decided that I wanted a female, and that's what I got. Later two boys came into our lives, as adults, because they needed a new home. Next we thought we were getting a girl and a boy, but the boy turned out to be Samantha. Cindy and Fawn were a pair looking for a home.

For me, whatever kitty needs a home when we're ready to increase our population is the kitty I want. But at some point I would like to have a male kitten. We've had boys, but not as kittens, and I'd love to experience that.

I can't really say, because I've never really "picked out" a pet, but have always let them pick me out. I've had more luck with male cats, though, meaning two females had to be rehomed (one because she kept attacking the dog, and the other because Jamie wouldn't accept her), one developed kidney cancer, and another (indoor/outdoor) was run over by a truck.

Growing up I always had female cats so when I got my own (kaya) and he was a boy,I just stuck to male cats b/c someone told me they would get along better,I would love to have another female but whenever I look for cats Im always attracted to the males for some reason.

I'm partial to males. Big goofy friendly ones, but really I know I would love a girl too if she was meant to be my cat.

Well, i had always been told that male cats were more friendly and affectionate, so when i went to the shelter to pick out a cat, i was looking for a male. However, as soon as Adia rolled over on her back and reacher her paws out to me through the cage, i knew she was mine regardless of sex. I found out she was a girl and I still fell in love with her and brought her home. She's mommy's girl now!
