Is it better to have a male or female pet cat? We're planning to get a pet cat to keep our family company and bring us endless joy. Initially, we wanted a male cat to avoid kittens, but our family wants a female cat, thinking female cats are better. So, is a male or female cat better?
This article will discuss whether male or female cats are better, and what advantages both have.
Cats are lively and adorable, and love cleanliness. Both male and female cats easily form deep bonds with their owners, making them ideal family companion animals. However, deciding whether to get a female or male cat is a question every cat owner considers before getting one.
Generally speaking, female cats are gentle, intelligent, understanding, and affectionate. They are willing to be close to their owners. Except for the period when they make loud and unpleasant noises during mating season, they can live a normal and quiet life at other times.
Male cats are particularly curious and adventurous, and can be aggressive. They like to roam outdoors at night and enjoy playing with people, but sometimes they go too far and become aggressive when out of control, biting or scratching other cats or people. When in heat, they often urinate in corners of the house to mark their territory, producing a very unpleasant odor. Sometimes they may stay away from home for days. Therefore, many people prefer to keep female cats.
I personally think it's better to keep a male cat because male cats are stronger, have a majestic and cute appearance, are easier to train, and are less prone to illness. To reduce trouble, you can have it neutered when it's 6 or 7 months old. Neutered male cats will become quiet and docile, and will also be able to change their bad habit of urinating indiscriminately when in heat.
