You can get them spayedDon't know, but female cats make awful sex sounds.
I have three rescued female cats, and they are all spayed.
You can get them spayed
I guess for people who have no intention of spaying/neutering their animals, there is less consequence with a male cat? They don't have to see the kittens born? That seems extremely irresponsible and intentionally blind way to approach it, but that's my only guess as to why.I just got a female kitty who was given away because she had kittens. and instead of getting her spayed they gave her away and kept a male kitten.

I know, I was just thinking of differences that may lead to choosing males over females.. that's the only one I could come up with.
what's the appeal?
Maybe it's code for asking you whether you'd date a butch lesbian ?

Some people say [neutered] male cats are more affectionate as adults than [spayed] females, but, in my experience, it will always depend on a combination of factors. The animal's own genetic predisposition, breed, experiences before adoption, level of contact w/humans & how the owner raises it. Any cat can be affectionate or aloof, really. It's a coin toss, to some extent.
yeah i thought how social a cat is has to do with combination of genes and their kittenhood.
One could say the same for people. Makes sense to me.
Sounds like a well-adjusted kitty.yep, mine is pretty social she says hi when i get home and sometimes wants to be around me and follows me around the apartment but other times wants nothing to do with me and goes off somewhere by herself. and she gave me a lick on the nose when i picked her up earlier. and she's completely fine with being held.

Cricket goes off to explore the apt by himself but is generally an extrovert of some kind. Super talkative, follows me, watches what I do. Makes little peeps at me when he's bored. Cries if he's alone for too long - but eventually finds a way to entertain himself (if I have to put him in the bedroom, he whines, but eventually beats up his jingle bell ball for awhile).
Apparently black cats and dogs are harder to adopt out. People make odd choices for what animals they adopt. But, at least some are getting adopted.
