Are boy cats always friendlier?

[MayTheOddsBeEverInYourFavour]

We are getting a kitten

We went to view a litter and picked the boy that we wanted. But that was a week ago and the breeder has emailed to say that our boy cat is actually a girl. We love the kitten we picked and she was so friendly and cuddly (though I don't know if that will change because she was very young) but we did have a slight preference for a boy

We've told the breeder we want to keep the same cat because we loved her when we saw her but does it mean she won't be as friendly because she is a girl?

The friendliest cat I've ever known was the one I had from when I left home. She was a girl.

Depends on the cat. If you liked that kitten I reckon it's your one :)

I've had one boy cat and 4 girls. The boy was an awkward sod and the girls have all been very friendly.

I think especially as you're getting a kitten it'll be fine. Just give her lots of love and cuddles and she'll be following you around in no time.

No, it definitely doesn't mean she'll be less friendly!

Of the five cats I've had over my lifetime, only one has been a girl, but she was the biggest sweetheart imaginable. She used to sit on the front wall in summer or hallway in winter waiting for us kids to get home from school. She was happy to be toted around in our arms, on our shoulders, or even on our heads. She just sat and purred and dribbled a bit. I still miss her - she's been gone 6 years now.

Funnily enough she wasn't neutered and had several litters (as a child I loved this, though as an adult looking back I can't believe my parents didn't get her neutered straight away) but she was a real homebody and one of the most affectionate cats I've ever known.

I would have preferred a female cat I suppose, but then Petite Animale came to stay and never left. Me and an ex got him 11 years ago, but he stayed with the ex when I left. Now the ex is married with kids and they didnt want Petite anymore. He actually has a pedigree name. Anyway I don't think his first owners socialised him properly as he was very shy and handshy when he first came. It took about six months to a year I suppose for him to really let me handle him and cuddle and kiss him extensively.m now he rubs faces and all that and puts his little ears down when I comb his hair when he is moulting, he sleeps on my bed as well or at least he did before I got him a new bed. He is getting on a bit now but we adore him and he is star of the household. It is my good luck to live with a pedigree cat.

Have fun with your little girl. Lucky you!!

I've had two boys and now a girl of my own, iykwim.
The girl is the friendliest, and smartest of the lot.

It does depend on the cat though - I looked after two females for a while, mother and daughter, and they were aloof - maybe happy with each other?

And I've had two strays, a little fluffy girl, who was so sweet, but crazy, and a boy who was the bringer of ringworm, fleas etc, and was reasonably well behaved.

Thanks so much everyone

It's been great to read about how different they all are and their little quirks

I feel much better now, as I said we'd decided to stick with her because we loved her so much but I was a tad worried over wether I was making the right decision or not

I just can't wait to get her now she's staying with her mummy till she's 12weeks but after that she's all mine
