I don't know if it's true but when we were thinking about getting a playmate for Sweetie (we decided against in her case), we were told by the rescue centre that a male kitten would be a better match because females are highly territorial about their homes, whereas males naturally seek a wider territory. Anyone know if that's true?

Re: Is my Cat fighting my new kitten? Or are they playing!

I have heard that also! I've heard that females can be much more territorial than neutered males. I love my boys, they are so laid back. When I did my research into whether I should get a male or female kitten with my existing boy, no one, not even google had a definitive answer, everyone had different opinions. What I did find was that most people thought that integrating a new kitten with an existing male is somewhat easier than with a female. My opinion is that boys are more chilled out and relaxed. I think though a lot of it comes down to personality over gender.

Interesting. I'd love to know what others think about the male/female debate for a playmate for a female. Bump
