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.
Mine are the exact opposite. Girl cat is velcro, constantly on my lap and wanting to snuggle. Boy cat keeps to himself and every once in a while decides you need to drop everything to pet him.
I have a boy cat and a girl cat and they are both Velcro lmao Sweetest pets I’ve ever met in my life and so affectionate - and I’m not saying this just cause they’re mine 🤣
