I'm just curious, to those of you that are breeders or who own both female/male sphynx cats what are the biggest notible differences that you notice? I own a female and find her to be a snuggler and very calm with the other pets.
I find both my boys to be more dependent on me, more lovable, and more demanding of my attention. The girls, though also extremely snuggly, are more independent and can be moody sometimes. Interestingly, my two girls don't like each other, but they both get along great with the boys. My boys are also more friendly with strangers, whereas the girls are curious, but approach with caution.
This is a good question zoes mom I'm always curious about this...
Brooke- are your males or females more vocal?
Both... 1 of each is a talker, so I can't say from my personal experience that has anything to do with being male or female.
Walter is the most vocal (talking constantly. I need a translator to figure out what he's standing on top of the refrigerator screaming about, or in the kitchen howling about, or in the bathroom chirping about...)
Helen is the next vocal. I can make eye contact with her and get her going (its really cute) or if she's hungry she'll let me know.
Nelson and Mandy don't talk much unless they really have something to say.
My boys are laid-back lovers. They haven't met anyone they didn't like. My red male, Buck, is an attention seeker from anything that'll hold still long enough to be rubbed on. Baldwin is very tolerant, I can draw blood from him without sedation and he'll be happy to let me do so (as long as the treats are handy). They will happily chase down a happy dog tail.
My female, however, is very set in her ways and is a diva. There's a certain way things will be and that's how they'll be, darnit! SHE may initiate play with the boys, but they're absolutely never able to initiate it with her. She has no interest in being around the dogs, they have cooties.
I, honestly, prefer males. And if it weren't for the adoption of Buck and Buffy together (required), I likely would have simply gone with a second male (as this was what I was wanting to begin with). However, Buffy is very petite and enjoys sleeping on my chest under the covers (and she's barely heavy enough to feel, which is a substantial difference from the boys who feel like they're pressing chair legs into my chest, abdomen, face and bladder before settling down beside me to sleep ).
ETA: My female is also much more picky than my boys. She will only eat a certain protein at a certain time. My boys will vacuum up dirt off the carpet. And anything else that looks remotely like food.

Sophie has become very vocal. She greets me with a small chirp meow when I come home. She meeeoooowwwss for food. When I pick her up she chirps if she likes it or protest meows if she doesn't want to be picked up. Then she HOWLS in the bathtub! .
LOL Sounds just like Mo (only he doesn't howl in the bath tub!). He has got quieter as hes got older though. He is very possesive of me, shouts most of the time if I go out the room!
