Our best lap cats and "people" cats have all been male. Our females have either been marginal, stand-offish, or complete fruitcakes. Genoa, the little calico is always around, but doesn't want to sit with you and only wants petted on her very specific terms. Roxie the little bitch is completely independent but does answer to "Roxie you little bitch." She's Genoa's (Poogie) daughter and has the worst traits of Mom in spades! Not one redeeming feature! There was Catalina, reasonably sweet Siamese, but not overly affectionate as opposed to Luff, a red point Siamese (yeah, I know, technically a color-point Oriental) who was the BIGGEST lover you could possibly imagine. And then there was Alcyone, a lynx point Siamese female, who was a complete and total psychotic. The older she got the more bizarre she became.
