Should I get a male or female kitten2007-11-25 12:25:51

I currently have a 4 year old male cat who doesn't really like other animals, but I really want a kitten and wondered whether he would get on better with a male or female?

Answers:

I'm not sure that it really matters. I think in due course he may get used to another cat. The thing to watch for is he may spray to mark his territoty (even neutered males do this) which is pretty unpleasant. If he isn't nuteured then introducing a male is probably a bad idea and you'd need to spey a female or you'll have a constant supply of kittens! Try not to lavish too much affection on your new addition and leave out the original kitty - they do get jealous!

Neither - and if you get a female you may end up with more than you bargained for - cats are very Territorial and wont like new additions to the house

Neither, get a dog.

Male! As long as you get him spayed! My male cat was always more affectionate than his sister but maybe that was just a personality thing! And you won't be lumbered with a litter of kittens (unless you want to be- could be cute!)

defo has to be female he will love her to bits and two females don't spray like males do.

I would not get another cat. If your male does not like other animals he may be very upset with having to share his domain with another one. You will also probable favor the kitten, if only to keep it safe when it is small, and your current cat will get very jealous.
