Two cats - both boys or both girls?
I'm planning to get a couple of tonks, either two boys or two girls --
I understand they're happier in pairs if they'll be left alone during the day. Are there any considerations in choosing whether to get two boys or two girls, however? I do plan to have them fixed as early as is appropriate, so hopefully there won't be territorial issues or fighting if there's a tom hanging about outside. |

I don't think it matters. Just my opinion.

I have two female Tonkinese that came from different litters, same breeder, in age a month apart but I got them at the same time as kittens. They are fine together, even though very different in personality. One (Ephiny) acts more like a stereotypical Burmese - friendly, laid back, outgoing. The other (Lao Ma) is more like a stereotypical Siamese - nervous, territorial, a bit standoffish, although she loves being groomed. I would think two males or even a male and a female would also do well together, as long as they're "fixed" at the appropriate age and are raised together from kittenhood. Gail F.

There are many people (like me) who think the boys have smushier, more loving personalities while the girls are more feisty. I have three nine month old boys and would not have it any other way. -- Toni http://www.cearbhaill.com/kitties.htm |
