Female cats are actually more territorial than males. Male territories overlap, while females guard their territories from both sexes to preserve their hunting for the sake of present and future kittens.
Males get a bad territoriality rap because of their habit of spraying to mark their territory as a message to other cats. Female cats also spray, but not as often and not as much.
Spaying and neutering, especially before these behaviors can become established habits, will stop most territorial behavior, but the non-sex driven behaviors remain.
In terms of how different cats will get along in a home, more can depend on the cat's personalities and background than their sex. A rescue can be more sensitive to these issues than a well-raised, laid back cat who doesn't see the need to conserve resources since they have always been provided properly.
The worst territory offenders are cats who have never been socialized with their own kind. Lacking knowledge of the social gestures and unable to share, they wind up marked down as "only cats" in the shelters.
Animal behavior studies have shown that foreplay before the onset of sex is noticed in the same sex due to the rise in bio chemicals in the blood even in the
absence of the opposite mate.
In the real world male cats only get tempted to have sex. Males have to drive females to have sex, sometimes the males get so badly rejected that they get wounded very badly. It is not possible for a female cat to want to have sex with a female cat to become fertilized but only as foreplay.
Yes they do they are sort of like male mice. they are very territorial so they fight. if you don't fix the problem then it may lead to death but don't worry you can ether separate them or you can get a new cage and put them in at the same time if that doesn't work i would separate them if it does work then they should be the best of friends. they also shouldn't fight if they have been raised since they were born.
A Cat fight is a physical struggle or battle between usually, two girls or women. the term is derived from the much older Dogfight ( usually one word) applied to a one-on one aerial battle common in world war I. Tactical doctrine generally discouraged Dog fighting in later wars. Cat Fights follow no rules but often the gals try to pull each other"s hair out, us long fingernails to go for the eyes, yecch, it is sickening to even think about. People think of cats as feminine ( false analogy between feline and female) that"S the origin.
well it depends on the 2 cats if the one cat is weaker than the other cat than the weaker cat may be killed. it just all depends if the weaker cats gives in then he wont be killed but if he doesn't then he may very well die. you have to really think about it.
yes they do. my to females do. i think its a horemone thing if there is no boy and two girls one will understand what the other is going though and try to be a man..
yes
yes
yes because one of my female cats had kittens that looked like one of my other female cats and they both had one kitten that looked the same as the other one
They usually pee with their tail up. Female cats can also spray to mark territory as males do.
Maybe the 's' word you're thinking of for a female dog is 'she'. Female cats are routinely referred to as 'she cats' while the males are 'tom cats'. However the correct and appropriate term for a female dog is, 'bitch'. This doesn't mean anything derogatory or insulting to the bitch, it's simply the word for female dogs.
A spayed female will not come into heat, but may choose to accept males through force of habit if she has bred before. She will still have the standard "female cat" scent, though only cats can detect it.
Males are territorial, they both think they are the boss.
No, they're not all male, how do you think they're born? Do the male cats have sex? And produce a kitten? No, a female does, like humans. :) So ofcourse they're not all males.
Ocelots are both solitary and territorial. The female communicates with scent markings to tell males she is ready to mate. The cats also communicate with yowls and meows.

Yes. Intact (not neutered) Toms are more aggressive and more territorial.
While the vast majority of calico cats are female, there is the occasional male. However, virtually all of these males are sterile. These cats are known as Kleinfelter males.
The males are territorial. They will fight each other for a female. They will fight each other to be the top male. You should keep breeding males seperate.
Yes, un neutered males will try to mate with spayed females.
No, not all ginger cats are male, some female cats are born with the red (ginger) colouring, but are not nearly as common as males.
that males cant have babies and females can! lol i think
Usually no because the fixed females no long produce the hormone sent that attract males
Males are "toms", females are called "queens", just as in house cats.
Both male and female offspring cats are called kittens, (didn't you know that!!) lol and adult males are called toms, and adult females queens. thank me!
