Hi everyone

I am new to this forum, just hoping someone may be able to help.

We lost our first cat, we had together, she was a gorgeous huge black cat, that we got fom a rescue centre, so we never really knew her age. We was told she should have been around the age of 11-12 yrs.

We also have another female cat, who will be three years old in a couple of weeks.

They had a love hate relationship, one minute they would be chasing each other, and the older cat hissing, and then the nxt laying on the bed together.

We were thinking about having a female kitten so we could have kittens, but we are concerned about having two female cats again, would they get on?? Or should we hope that because our little cat Polly was hissed at by our older cat that she wouldn't do the same??, all she wanted to was cuddle up to her.

Has anyone else have any similar experiences or what would you choose male or female??

Thanks Sarah xx

Hi,

I have three lovely male Maine coon neuters. I have to say as pets I definitely prefer male cats. They are usually Mummy's boys and love their cuddles and fussing lol. But then Im sure there are alot of people on here who have girl cats and would say just the same. I would go with whatever you prefer. Is it going to be a moggy kitten or are you going to have a pedigree?

Best wishes

Hi Jo

Thanks for replying, its going to be a moggy, I relly like ginger or tabby cats, but female ginger cats are very hard to find, and most can't have kittens I have been told.

Our cat has a little bit of siamese in her, all the colourings, and very loud, and a little bit nippy. When a relatives dog comes in the house, she just sits and watches from a distance, so we are wondering if she will accept any cat, and let it dominate her, like she was used to.

I love your type of cats, just can't afford pedigrees. Its so quite with just one cat now.

Thanks Sarah xx

Hi I have 2 male persians & a female moggie. The males want cuddles all the time and to be around us all the time. The female likes cuddles but only on her terms.Depends on what you want really but I have found male cats to be more affectionate than females. It will take time but whichever sex you get your other female should be ok with it. My female keeps the boys in line but they all eat and sleep together.

Hi,

Well there are so many cats in rescues at this time of year and they are so beautiful.Ginger cats are so gorgeous and don't they get so big. Perhaps you could put a request on the classfied section for a female kitten? I will keep an eye out for you too, and let you know if I find one, other than Ginger do you like any other colours?

Your other girl sounds lovely, I am sure she would adjust to a kitten, as long as she has her own space to go to she will be fine.

Best wishes

Hiya

We started with a brother and sister persian, but sadly lost Max at Christmas, so we have another male cat now and Poppy was quite moody with him at first but has come around so much and they do play quite a bit. I'm the same as everyone else where the boys have always been so much cuddlier than Poppy who likes attention but only upstairs on her terms. She's actually pretty antisocial but then I have days like that too

I would agree with the males being more clingy and affectionate.

I have 2 Ragdolls who are brother and sister. They are both absolutely lovely, but Bailey is very affectionate and DEMANDS lots of cuddles and attention. Cleo loves cuddles too but only when she feels like it and she comes up and asks for cuddles. With Bailey you can just go upto him and he is very willing to let you do anything to him.

I have a girl and a boy and the boy is a mummys boy, in fact he loves everyone, the girl only will come near on her terms, however my first ever cat was female and she loved everyone, so I think that it can sometimes just depend on the actual cat.

Good luck with your search.

Hi

Thanks for your reply, I had a male cat at my mum's and he was very affaectionate, but we have also found our female cats are just as affectionate but as you say on their terms, the one we lost was very demanding.

May be it might be best to just go for the kitten that we like best.

Thanks Sarah

Hi Jo

I'm sure my cat will be okay, just have to make sure I keep a kitten away from her bed, its like her fortress, even we can't get near it, and when I wash it she doesn't talk to me for days!!

I like ginger cats, and tabbys, but would also consider anything that really appeals to me and my hubby. I have just had a look on the classifieds and have taken a couple of numbers of people close to me with kittens, so will ring round. If I have no luck I will put on a wanted ad.

Thanks for all your help Sarah xx
