male cats can be bigger, have squarer jaws and spray lots, even when they’ve been done.
can be bigger but not necessarily. our current cat is a male (neutered) and came from the RSPCA; he’d previously been a house cat so we chose to keep him that way, as the previous 3 got run over 🙁
He never sprays, he has a covered litter tray for that, but he is a huge attention seeker – I assume that’s because he doesn’t socialise with other cats. He doesn’t sit on your lap, but he does sit with me. He’s watching me right now.
Previous pair were also males, neutered, from the RSPCA – one very timid the other an absolute star. We’d had them 2 years and lost both of them to traffic inside a week of each other.
The cat before that we’d had since she was born, she got run over aged 15.
And no we do not live on a major road. or even a busy minor road
From experience the males are less moody (no surprise there then!), more independant and basically just nicer people…
