I've wanted this breed for quite some time now. About 9 months ago, I actually started researching the breed and fell in love with them even more. The personality of a dog and a cat put together is what sold me. At first I wanted a rescue, but the more and more I looked, I realized I wanted a younger cat/kitten so that the bond between us is stronger. Plus... who can resist a kitten!!
So I'm pretty much almost there with purchasing a kitten... however, I'm driving myself crazy before I've even looked at any. At first I wanted a female, because all my non-sphynx cats in the past growing up were and they were nothing but affectionate. BUT then I started researching, and I see that the majority of people think that males are more affectionate than females.
Basically I want a kitten that's going to grow into an affectionate lap kitty that doesn't mind being handled, follows me around where ever I go, and not timid. I just want to know if there are any ways to tell of this outcome?? When researching, I found that some cat owners basically saw an entirely different personality once that cat matured.
So here are my questions:
Is there really a difference between male and female personalities? and which one would best fit the qualities I'm after?
Are there any tricks or things to look out for when you go to pick out a kitten?
And in your experiences... did the personality of your kitten change once they reached adulthood?
I want a heart cat so bad... one that was made for me. So I'm scared I'm going to make a bad decision.
