🐾 Daily Cat Lesson #14: Boys vs. Girls - Who Has More Attitude?

Does a cat's sex really determine its personality?
People often say male cats are cuddly, easygoing goofballs, while females are more independent, opinionated and territorial.
But is it actually true?

• 🐾 Are male cats more affectionate?
  Sometimes they seem that way, and many cat owners swear by the stereotype. But there's no rule saying a boy will be cuddly or a girl will be independent. Individual personality matters much more.
• 🐾 What shapes a cat's personality?
  Genetics, early socialization, experiences, age, environment and whether the cat is spayed or neutered can all influence behavior.
• 🐾 Do hormones make a difference?
  Definitely. Unneutered males are more likely to roam, spray and compete with other males, while unspayed females go through heat cycles that can dramatically change their behavior. After spaying or neutering, many of these sex-related differences become much less important.
• 🐾 And what about two female cats?
  They can be best friends, rivals, roommates - or all three before breakfast.
  Friendly swatting, chasing and wrestling are normal when both cats willingly participate. If they keep coming back for more, take turns, and nobody is terrified or trying desperately to escape, it's usually play rather than a serious fight.

So are girl cats more opinionated?
Science says personality is complicated.

"Mind your own business."
