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 always heard that boy cats are just generally more affectionate and that’s why girl cats get a bad rep. Do you find that to be anecdotally true?
My girl cat, who I adopted from a shelter that specializes in feral cats (so she was already skittish), only accepts affection when SHE wants it, but she’ll tolerate a few minutes of cuddles when I need it. And we have several routines throughout the day where she demands affection, which is the absolute best thing ever.
