Female Cats
Female cats tend to want things on their terms all of the time. Female cats do not make as good of lap cats as males. They may sit on your lap for a while and then want down quickly. Female cats tend to have a lousy temper more often than their male counterparts. I had a purebred Siamese female house cat, and she would stare at you just before trying to strike your face. Never stare at a cat yourself; she views that as a treat and will try to attack you. I had one Siamese female cat that was very friendly, and she did make an excellent lap cat, but she was an exception to the rule. I had a black female cat when I was growing up that was very friendly and polite. My first cat was gray and white, and she was excellent with a small child picking her up and fusing over her. I have a female cat in my other house that is very handy with her teeth. She does not want me to touch her or pet her or and if I do, every time she tries to draw my blood, and she is excellent at that pursuit, unfortunately. I have had her since birth, but she considers me enemy number one; she likes my Vet and behaves like a little angel there. I think she prefers men to women on the whole. Female cats are probably slightly more defensive since they must protect and raise their kittens. Siamese and Calico cats seem to be the most unmellow of the female cats according to color and temperament.
Male Cats
Male cats make good lap cats and tend to put up with many people. I used to dress one of my male cats in doll dresses, and he did not mind it. Black cats tend to be the most mellow if you go by the colors of any cat colors. I have had several black male cats that were very mellow over the years, and most were well-behaved. I have two male house cats now, and they get along fine and will groom each other. My house cat Cali, who lives with my two male house cats, gets jealous of them sitting on my lap and will bite them to get a place on my lap. Garfunkel is a very kind and loving male cat who loves to sit on my lap every chance he can get and then purrs contentedly. Conrad was born and raised on my farm and is related to some of my original farm cats. He is timid but loves and is devoted to me only as he does not trust others. I prefer male cats as they tend to be more mellow and are not flighty. Whatever sex of cat you get, I am sure you will love it regardless of its ways and antics. I hope you and your cats have many happy and healthy days ahead.
