    Why Are Male Cats Less Affectionate Than Female Cats?

    I have a beautiful medium black haired cat with a long fuzzy tail. Beautiful yellowish eyes. I have to keep him inside as I live close to a neighbor who had rather not have cats on his property. At times he wants to be loved....petted and other times he ignors me. I have had female cats who loved petting but Spooky is independant and only wants to be petted at his convenience. Just wondered why.

    Male cat is little aggressive and it is by nature and naturally they show rage but they show such type of attitude if they live alone. You will find them quite affectionate in two or more mediums.

      Just like people, cats have different personalities. Asking why a female cat is more affectionate is like asking why a female person is more affectionate.....but the truth is, that it differs not with gender but with personality. I have had male cats, and I have had much affection from them. Each of them have different needs. I had one that needed me all of the time. I have two now that vary in their needs, but they come when I call them, each knowing their own names. Affection is sometimes a surprise when you learn what a cat's version of it is. Sometimes a cat expresses affection just by being around you. You turn away and you see the look in their face that shows they don't want you to get up. Sometimes affection is expressed in the ability to accept affection, the way that they purr, move closer, press against your hand. They might not always be the way you want them to be, but when they show affection, it comes in varying forms. I also have indoor cats. I don't know the difference between outdoor cats and indoor cats really, but that is also not a gender issue. My word of experience to you is to watch for the ways that your cat reaches out to you and accepts you, and that is his way of expressing affection.
