What are the benefits of spaying or neutering a cat?
Spaying or neutering prevents reproductive-system diseases in both male and female cats and reduces many hormone-driven behaviors. Neutered cats tend to live longer and develop calmer temperaments.
What does it mean when a cat licks your hand?
A cat licking your hand shows affection; it may want petting, holding, or play. If hungry or your hand smells of food, it will lick to ask for food. It may also be marking you with its scent as its own owner, claiming territory, and gathering information about where you have been.
Should a woman get a male or female cat?
It is generally recommended that women keep male cats, since males tend to be more affectionate and clingy, with a better temper and less likely to get angry.

Think Twice Before Getting a Chow Chow — Unless You Can Live With These Traits
Chow Chows are an ancient, lion-coated breed that is clean, quiet, and loyal, but they are far from easy to keep. Their stubborn independence makes training and walks a challenge, and as a short-nosed breed they overheat easily, drool, snore, and shed heavily while needing costly, careful grooming. They suit calm, experienced owners with patience, space, and budget — not first-time dog parents seduced by the cute 'grumpy' face.
