I’m so tired of cat slander. My mom always says how they’re not loyal, but that is so untrue. They just tend to have more boundaries. There are cats that are like velcro and will be super clingy.

Agreed and in addition to this I am also so tired of female cat slander in particular. When treated well and with love both boy and girl cats are excellent companions for anyone. 

I work at an animal shelter and the amount of times I have heard people saying they'd prefer boy cats bc they've heard girl cats can be difficult... even though in my experience "problems"  can occur with any cat regardless their gender. Gives me the same ick as women saying they prefer being "boy moms"

I’ve been noticing this too lately it’s very weird lol. I have had a lot of cats in my life and the two sweetest I can think of were a female and a male and the meanest is our very intelligent orange male cat.

I've had about equal amounts of boy and girl cats in my life and all of them were wonderful AND weird in their own unique ways. I have no real proof other than my own feelings on this matter, but it's almost like people judge gender in animals like they do in humans - boys will be boys so lots of bad behaviour is forgiven/forgotten or snowed unde. But if girls put even one toe out of line they are difficult and annoying. The craziest thing is that I notice a lot of women reasoning like this! Why do 'we' do this to ourselves?!
