| **Males vs Females** |
| Male kittens do not spray. In nature entire male cats living outside mostly spray to mark their territory, most indoor male cats never spray at all, if they did breeders would have to house them outside as it would be impossible to live with a spraying male. Female kittens do not spray. Some unspayed female cats in season will spray to attract a male. Both female and male kittens sold as pets are spayed or neutered by 8 months old, so spraying do not become a problem for any responsible pet owner. Male cats are usually more affectionate than females. Female cats have a maternal instinct, making them slightly more aloof than males. Please don't get me wrong, females are indeed very affectionate. Let me try to explain based on my own experience. Personally I find that I can cuddle with the males anytime for as long as I want. The females on the other hand love to cuddle too, but on their time. Sometimes I can pick a girl up for cuddles and she just wants down, more times that same female can't seem to get enough loving. If I call one of my males he will come running without fail, if I call one of my females she may come running or she may take a message and get back to me later. Some females never leave my side and are equally as affectionate as males, but you can still sense that maternal instinct. I'm not certain if they have the maternal instinct after they are spayed or not as I have never lived with a spayed female for any length of time. Both male and female Himalayan and Persians will follow you around, and they all have their own individual personalities. ******************* Nursery Home |
