My first cat was a neutered boy and he went missing for days at a time, so I told myself I would only have girls after that. It worked, they were always in for their dinner. I do believe girls wander less.
I have had seven grils since then, three of whom are still with me. When I went to get the seventh, Mitzi, the Siamese cross female kitten I had wanted so much, there was this glorious little Egyptian Mau male who had been fostered on Mitzi's mum. I could not resist.
I have to say, I love him to bits. Flynn is such a boy, bounding about the place. He is far less territorial than the girls and not at all jealous (two of the girls are very possessive). Having catrpoofed the garden, I do not have to worry about him wandering.
But Mitzi is still the most affectionate. Those Siamese genes win out!
