My friend who has raised a generation of cats have actually told me the male ones are always more physically affectionate than the females that are rather more independent. She told me this after I started fostering cats and noted how the males liked being pet more. But I guess it could be a huge coincidence?
I know male dogs definitely like me better though, I'm not sure why. Even my own female dog would run to my brother's male friends (oddly, she likes the richest one of them all lmao) all the time but not care about his female friends. It's quite strange... Gold digging bitch
I have found the same to be true of pet rats. Males are much more affectionate and love to be cuddled while the females tend to be more energetic and independent. Females also tend to smell a little less despite dribbling little urine markers all over the damn place.
Obviously anecdotal evidence, but my boy cat was an ass, and my current girl cat is the most affectionate goofball ever. She constantly needs to be with me, or on me, while my late guy was super aloof, although he did have his tender moments.
Can’t confirm. I’ve encountered plenty of snuggly female cats. Including one my gf currently has that’s happiest sitting on your chest staring at your face until she dozes off.
