Should a woman get a male or female cat?

It is generally recommended that women keep male cats, because male cats are usually more clingy and affectionate than females, have a better temperament, and are less prone to anger. Female cats are relatively more independent and aloof, and do not like to act spoiled with their owners as much.

The choice between a male or female cat ultimately depends on the owner’s personality and preferences. After neutering, the personality difference between male and female cats is small, and both are gentle and very suitable for women to keep.
