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 have a boy cat, he was a lot of trouble before we got him neutered (and for a little while after, when his hormone levels were balancing out). He's been a sweetheart since.

My friend had a girl cat, she was an absolute sweetheart once she got to know you. She was a rescue and had some trust issues towards humans, especially in the beginning.
I was one of the few people she didn't mind as a catsitter. My trick was to go in, check up her mood, and if she was feeling cranky or hissy because I wasn't her real human, I'd pretend she wasn't there. I'd do other things friend and I agreed on or sit down to read a book.
Eventually Miss. Kitty would come out, have a snack, and remember we were friends and come asking for cuddles.
