Which one is better, a male cat or a female cat? Are you still wondering which one to keep? Then let’s bring you a male cat or a female cat, so that everyone can have a general understanding of male cats and female cats.

　

Appearance differences

Compared to other cats, there is not much difference in appearance between cat brother and cat sister. However, if you compare the appearance of male cats and female cats in detail, you can still see the differences~

Eyes and nose:

The female cat’s eyes look large and obvious. Because the face is small, the eyes appear large, the eyes and nose are prominent and three-dimensional. Moreover, the female cat’s nose and eyes are shaped like an inverted triangle, and the distance between the eyes is wider than the nose.

When male cats reach sexual maturity, their eyelids will thicken and their eyes will become stern, as if they are glaring at people. Male cats' noses are wider and larger, about the same width as the distance between their eyes. (If it is a neutered male cat, its eyes will be big and bright, and it will retain the childishness of the kitten period)

Cheeks:

Female cats usually have no excess fat on their cheeks, and their face is very three-dimensional; their cheeks do not protrude outwards, and their mouth shape is obvious. The overall look is thinner, so it gives a sense of maturity.

Male cats tend to grow flesh on their chins and cheeks, so their faces are usually round and cute. Because their cheeks protrude, their faces appear larger. If a male cat is neutered before his first heat, the face will not become enlarged.

Genitals:

Ahem... This question is a bit shy and requires invading the kittens' privacy, but it is the most intuitive way to determine the gender of a cat.

During the kitten stage, the male cat’s testicles are still hidden in the abdominal cavity and are not exposed, so the shy parts of the younger cat look similar to those of the younger cat.

At this time, you can play a little rogue and judge by observing the two "holes" on the cat's tail: the distance between the two holes of the male cat is larger, and the shape of the two holes is round, like a colon; while for the female cat, the distance between the two holes is larger. The distance between the cat's two holes is small, and the lower hole (external genitalia) is shaped like a water drop, and looks like an inverted exclamation mark when viewed from top to bottom.

Wait until 2 to 5 months old, when the cat's balls droop and bulge, you can distinguish them more intuitively. The sex of a neutered cat can be determined by the presence or absence of a penis on the abdomen.

In addition, a mature female cat will have two rows of four nipples on its abdomen.

Body type:

Based on a special hormonal structure, male cats are usually muscular and strong. There will be no significant change in body shape of male cats after neutering. However, there is still a high chance that a male cat will be larger than a female cat, usually a circle larger (in terms of weight, about 0.5 kg more).

Of course there are female cats that are larger than male cats. As forIn terms of coat quality, there is no difference between male and female cats. ​​​​​​

Personality differences

Although I cannot say categorically: Male cats (female cats) have that kind of personality.

However, there are some differences in the personalities of male cats and female cats. The personality of a cat is closely related to its breeding method.

Female cats are independent, rational and calm

The nature of female animals is to become pregnant, give birth and raise children. And even if the female cat does not give birth to kittens and raises kittens, due to the influence of this "nature", the personality will be more mature and stable than that of male cats.

Female cats are independent and will not rely on others (owner or mother). They have a cautious personality and are good at avoiding danger. People may think that female cats are cold, hard-tempered, and unloving. In fact, this is a personality developed to protect themselves and their children.

Male cats have always been childish

Because domestic cats depend on humans for survival, neither male nor female cats are fully mature mentally. Male cats, in particular, do not have the defensive capabilities that female cats have for raising children, and are quite "childlike".

Usually the cat brother is very willful and will do whatever he wants to do, and he will do it secretly if he is not allowed to do it.

Some characteristics of male cats

1. Male cats are naturally clingy and love to act coquettishly. In the kitten stage, both the sister cat and the brother cat will be relatively close to each other.

As they grow up, female cats will become more and more independent, while male cats will remain childish no matter how old they grow. Most male cats are very clingy and even like to sleep with their owners.

2. Male cats are more likely to respond to their owners’ calls. Because they are more dependent on their owners than female cats, male cats will be more concerned about their owners' behavior. Usually when you call his name, he will take the initiative to come over; once you attract his attention, he will curiously come over and pay attention to you.

If the female cat does not ask for something of her own, she will usually ignore you.

3. Male cats are relatively unprincipled. Male cats love to eat very much, and they are very greedy and have an appetite for many foods. Usually, as long as they have enough food and drink, cats won’t care too much about other things. They can just lie down and be petted, and they won’t hold too much grudge against minor offenses.

Some characteristics of female cats

1. Female cats attach great importance to food safety. Female cats are very cautious about food and only eat food they think is safe. Eat your own cat food regularly and quantitatively every day, instead of coveting human food and other snacks like male cats. Therefore, it is sometimes mistaken for a "picky eater."

2. Female cats “love to bark” more. Because of natureTick, be principled, female cats will have more requirements than male cats. In the process of living with the poop scraper, she will hope that the owner will meet her requirements. If the requirements are not met, she will meow tirelessly until the requirements are met.

3. Female cats love to be clean more. This is not to say that male cats are sloppy, but if the toilet environment is poor, female cats will be obviously anxious. Because in the world of cats, the smell of excrement will reveal their hiding places. In order to give birth to kittens safely, female cats will try their best to hide their hiding places.

The above are some of the differences between male cats and female cats~

In terms of cuteness, there is no distinction between cat brothers and cat sisters.

But in terms of personality, female cats are aloof and arrogant, and are suitable for scrappers with the same independent and quiet personality; male cats are innocent and family-friendly, and are suitable for severe cat suckers who feel uncomfortable petting cats.
