3 female kittens, now been told one is male

[BreezyCat]

Hi

We are due to pick up our mixed breed kittens in the next 3 weeks, today the owner took them for a vet check and it turns out 2 are female and one is male. - a bit shell shocked to be honest

Easy mistake with being young but I just don't know what to expect with male kittens/cats and wondering whether to just take the 2 females?

We have always had females, upto the last year 2 elderly sisters and a younger sister, all got on well(not snuggly) but occasionally groomed each other and always greeted each other. I have never had male cat/kitten experience and just don't know what to expect with the dynamics, we plan to get them all neuteured as soon as feasible but my concerns for the male are spraying and also roaming far(my 3 pretty much stayed in the garden)

Please correct me if i have got the male thing wrong

Oi, he’s mine! Give him back

I’m giving him a quick wash then he’ll be right back! 🙀

My boy is a total cuddle monster.He was done late as a stray, no problem at all. I have been incapussatated for the last hour. Bliss

I've got three boys and one girl. The boys are so lovely, good natured, friendly. Only one roams at night but he's back every morning for breakfast and sleeps at home all day. None of them spray.

Our male and female mixed pair. I don't think there is much of a difference between boys and girls. Get all the kitties

My boy cat is the most snuggly and loving of all three! He's also huge lol

Such cuties!!! I’m in agreement, get all the kitties. We really want a third but don’t want to upset our boys as they are so settled, happy and easy (as easy as cats can be anyway!) I’d love to have started with three though.

They really are my beautiful babies. Got them as rescue at 15 weeks. Now 6 months old.

Also to add - my boy cats don’t spray at all, we don’t even have a litter tray as they go in the garden.

My male ragdoll was neutered by the breeder asap and we never had any issues with spraying or smell, it's when they aren't neutered you tend to get those issues or neutered too late.
He has a very sweet temperament.. Very calm and loves being pet but I think all cats are individuals.
He was very accepting of our other kittens, though it did take a week for him to stop being nervous around them. Once that was out of the way he was very playful with our male and female kitten.

We've had four boys and two girls over the years - I also work with cats and honestly, once they're neutered, there's very little noticeable difference in behaviour. It's all down to personality.

We currently have three boys - one is a real lap cat, one will only accept affection on his terms otherwise you'll get smacked, and one is young and too fidgety for too many cuddles yet

One got into a scrap with a rat recently and one returned not long ago with a minor neck wound but otherwise we've not had any issues. They don't wander far and come back when they're called.

I had took home two boy cats and when they went for their check up at the vets we found out we had a boy and a girl.

The boy is much friendlier than the girl who rarely comes near us. Didn't have any issues with spraying, but we neutered as soon as we could. The girl cat loves being outside, whereas the boy is usually curled up on the sofa

I have a girl and a boy and this is my experience. He's a snuggly lazy greedy lap cat and she's a skittish hunter who is out all day.

I've only ever had boys before this girl and they've all been very affectionate homely cats.. the girl was a bit of a shock.

DP had girl cats growing up and he says the girls personality is what he is more used to when it comes to his experience with cats.

Take all three OP please don't give up on him 🩷🩷🩵

I've had cats all my life and I much prefer boys. More affectionate, more laid-back, more character, more loyal but also quieter (as in, less vocal) and far less stroppy than girls. I don't know about the wandering because my boys have all been big couch potatoes that just loaf around for hours on end; the girls were more independent and inclined to wander. Boy cats are amazing, honestly. If he's neutered there'll be no issues with spraying. I've had 10 boys in total over the last 50 years (we're a multi cat household) , never had any issues with spraying, fighting or wandering.

Our cat was six when we got him and the rescue said he liked to roam. He loves going out but is never far away. I think he wasn't very happy where he lived previously.

I've had four male cats and none of them have sprayed. Two very affectionate and two less so but they all have their own personalities.

Lots of rescues are inundated at the moment so please take him. I'm sure he'll be fine.

I’ve had cats all my life and have absolutely no preference as to sex. We currently have two girls and two boys. One of the girls is mam to both the boys and came as a bonded pair with the other girl.
In my experience, it’s not like other species, they’re very much their own personalities. We joke that the boys share a brain cell (they’re very uncat like as they were born here and have never been separated) but I’ve had aloof girls and super affectionate boys and vice versa.
Before that we had a girl who literally evicted the boy when DD1 was born!
You won’t regret a boy, ever.
