Male Cats Personality?

Question

I have an adorable male tiger tabby 2yrs old , he is affectionate , playful , and loving . I would like to know for those of you who have cats , is their a difference in personality between females and males ?

Answer 1

Male cats are more dominating which makes them more attached to their owners. They think they own you so they will almostalways want to be by your side.. Through my experiences, male cats seem to be more friendly and affectionate. A female will most likely want to be alone more often. Although, no matter what, every cat has their own special personality. I def prefer a male.

Cats personalities vary a lot. I have been a cat owner all my life. Currently, the pair I own the female is just an adorable sweet thing who loves to cuddle with me and follow me around and play. The male is affectionate but only when he wants to! He is more detached. I have also owned other male cats who have been extremely affectionate and females who have not, so it is hard to say. I think it varies from one breed to the next.

Answer 3

I have owned 2 male cats and 1 female and have found that the male cats are much more affectionate then the female. As far as playfulness I found that it didn't matter the sex they both enjoyed playing when they were in the mood. Overall I love my two little boys, they were really great cats.

Answer 4

I have a male and a female cat and they both have totally different personalities. That being said I don't know how much of it has to do with gender since I acquired each under very different circumstances. Both of my cats are affectionate but in their own ways. My female cat that I have had since she was weened never lets me be in the bathroom by myself and climbs into bed with me and sleeps with me every night, but she is very independent, inactive, and isn't much of a lap cat. My male cat that I picked up as a stray when he was about a year old on the other hand loves to be petted and loved and will routinely climb into the lap of anyone who will allow him to do so.

Answer 5

I think that male cats are very affectionate and trusting, but I have found that once a female cats learns to trust you, they can be more affectionate. I have always had male cats, though. I think that the females are less friendly to visitors and children (because of the trust issue).

Answer 6

Male cats are generally more affectionate than females, but not always the case. Our male cat, Deacon, is VERY playful and loving.

Answer 7

I have a male cat and a female cat. I think every cat has there own personality and it has nothing to do with gender really. They are both loving. playful, love attention, and what not. They are also both very protective of there territory. I think it all depends on how you raise the cat from a kitten on how they will act.

Answer 8

On the whole, many people have told me male cats are more affectionate, not so moody or aloof, more playful and fun.

I have had two females and one male and I truly believe males have a better temperament.

Answer 9

It has been my personal experience that male cats seem to be more affectionate than female cats. Female cats seem to be more catty (no pun intended) and cranky. I have two male cats now and they are super loving and affectionate. My MIL has a female cat that you just want to lock away she's such a brat.

Answer 10

I had a female cat...she was gentle, but then again she was older. Now my family has a male cat and he is wild, but also has a tender side...I think it depends upon age and the cat and the environment he was raised. My current cat was raised in a barn with a german shepard as a friend, so we are trying to turn him into a house cat and it is proving difficult. Our first cat used to tuck me in at night and sit on the piano bench while I played piano. I guess the new cat will learn eventually.
