The adoption of an animal has to come after having previously meditated on numerous aspects such as if we have enough time, if we do not care about the money in terms of treatments that it needs, if I want a kitten or an adult specimen … And also if I prefer a male or a female.
Because the sex of the animal will make certain differences and we have to inform ourselves of all of them to make the choice that best suits our needs and lifestyle. Do not look elsewhere, we will detail the nuances and variations of each type of animal.
Males like to go for walks and meet other felines
Males like to explore the outdoors, so they will need more to get out of the house and investigate their surroundings. This serves to keep their minds occupied but also to satisfy their hunting instinct and if there is an uncastrated female in the area, their instincts to perpetuate the species.
They will mark the territory when they detect females in heat nearby.
In addition, they will like to wander to meet individuals of both sexes of their species and interact with them, hopefully without discussions or problems.
They are generally more independent and enjoy spending time alone. If you have a garden or live in an urbanization where you can let go of him, let him take a few walks alone.
They tend to be active, they like to play around, run, jump, throw things at you … But of course they will enjoy naps with you, they assume their human as their equal and give them affection, when they feel like it.
So that his escapades are not surprising, castrale him. The operation on cats is very simple and you will only be a little clueless the same day but from the next day or at most two days later, you will be fine again.
Stray cats are kept in groups with other females. They spend time apart but never too much time because they must protect their territory and their kittens. They do not hesitate to scare away males that get too close. This helps you to know that they are more sociable, closer. Although there are always exceptions to everything, we already know.
Females tend to be more docile and affectionate . Less frequently they exhibit the innate need of males for vagrancy. In general they are calmer and like to rest at home.
The disadvantage of living with a female will be jealousy. During these periods we will know well the persuasiveness of a cat that seeks to reproduce: it adapts its moans, meows, postures, its behavior in general to find a male with which to reproduce, regardless of whether there is not one for miles around. They are more prone to hormonal disorders and suffer from breast tumors with some frequency. But we already know what the solution to this is, right? Sterilization. What a marvel, what a relaxation both for them and for us.
And is that sterilization is the solution for most of the problems mentioned, in both cases. A comfortable and effective operation that your animal will have forgotten after a few days, especially if it is male.
