I am fortunate enough to tell you that, I have 6, both male and female. It happens that it depends on the cat that you pick, or picks you. After fixing each one, they are more loyal, even tempered, and not al ot of messes to pick up, or clean up, But it really depends on the cat. Spend some time with the one that you are looking at if you have one picked out, if it responds in kind almost all the time, odds are that it could be affectionate.
They require a lot of love, and respond the best to pets, food, catnip, and you talking to them. Yes, talk to them. You would talk to a dog. Cats learn just like a dog or a bird. They need toys too. It might take a little while to figure out the exact toy that they like, but, most of them like feathers, and strings. Good luck. Remember either cat is affectionate.

I have nine cats, four boys and five girls. Without a doubt, my boys are more affectionate. They want to be held and don't fuss at me when I want to pick them up. My girls want to be held on their own time. Two of my girls DO NOT want to be picked up at all but will sit next to me and want me to pet them. Throughout my life I have had 20+ cats and the boys are always automatically more affectionate. However, if you can get a young female, you may be able to get her used to you holding her. One girl I had at four weeks and she tolerates me picking her up MOST of the time.

I have had both female and male cats. I have had neutered males and spayed females, I must say even though I have loved them all , I must say without a doubt my males have always been more affectionate and (oh I hate to say this) more intelligent.

I also have had many Cats males and females, neutered or not, spayed or not I too have found that my males were always more affectionate. I have 2 females now Mommie and Charlie (Mommie's kitten) both will sit on your lap when they want!!!! Both will play catch and play together like fools, but don't try to pick them up and hold them...(Except Charlie who will jump up on your shoulder and sit when I look out the front door!! Spoiled Brat the minute I close the door she is off and running there is no holding her back!!!) I must say Charlie is smart she comes when you call, sits,lays down,and rolls over on command, but do you think I am able to teach her not to jump on the counters or my curtains or not to nurse on Mommie even though she is 1 year old NOT A CHANCE!!!!! LOL Ya gotta love 'em........
I have 1 male cat. He has already been neutered, however he was very affectionate even before he was neutered. The first night I had him, he slept in my arms. I also used to have 2 female cats, and they never wanted to do anything to do with me at all.

I have a male cat who hates being picked up! Yet his younger brother who comes round will climb into my lap and snuggle me, he acts like I'm his Mummy.
Its not gender that dictates their affection, its the way they have been raised and their personalities. My cat was never affectionate, not even as a kitten (he's just turned one) and we gave him so much attention that we never left him alone. He was always picked up.
But his brother who is 6 months old and has not been neutered unlike his brother, loves to snuggle, has had worms and fleas since the day he was born until a week ago when I'd had enough of seeing him constantly hungry and feral and wormed him, I haven't got round to getting rid of the fleas I've been studying but his owners were terrible, the children would pick him up and drop him from heights onto a trampoline then bounce him up and down. They never snuggled with him or showed any affection and so now he is just addicted to it because he has been ignored for so long. And now I'm about to pay to get him neutered and he isn't even mine. I would keep him but apparently one is enough.

Outside cats are more affectionate... They don't take anything for granite.... Inside cats tend to be cute and fun and playful at first... Then they throw all that down the pooper and get the evil side to them and don't want anything to do with you... They only want the food that you feed them, the shelter you provide for them, and "they only want your affection when they want it."

When I was a kid, we had a few female cats. People would always pick them up and it was obvious the cats didn't like it. I didn't think it was possible for cats to be affectionate . In college my roomates and I took in a stray cat that was more affectionate than a dog. He used to fight and wrestle with us but now he is more lazy and almost always wants to be petted or held. I think it just depends on the cat, I've never seen a cat as affectionate as this one.

I've had cats for the past 18 years and I must say, altered males are the most affectionate. Someone told me that females are less affectionate because they have to be tough to defend their litters. I will probably only get male cats from now on. The only way I'd take a female is if she was going to end up homeless unless I did.

I have a Calico cat who is very possessive of me and very attached to me. Although she enjoys her solitude, she definitely has moments when she is being affectionate and wants attention. My boy cat Argos is very vocal and very sociable. He loves to be held and cuddle. Certainly, they have distinct personalities. My female, Gaia is much more graceful, acrobatic, cunning and intelligent than my boy cat. However, my boy cat is more loving, loyal, demonstrative and vocal than my female. So with all that said, I love them both for who they are!

I have a male and a female cat that have both been fixed. My husband and I have raised them since they were a week old. Both are equally affectionate. In fact, the girl will follow my husband or I around the house meowing until we pick her up and hold her like a baby. I think in general females may be more particular about who touches them (aren't humans the same?), but I think it mostly has to do with how they are socialized. Cats' socialization period is between 5 and 8 weeks. We had different people and animals around them from very early on and now they love our bunnies and pretty much any stranger that walks in the house.
