Scientists claim that there's no direct evidence that cats prefer female owners over male ones.

Though it depends on your pet's unique character, it's still deeper than you might think.

Let's find out more about why pets love some family members more than others.

Cats can have different preferences

The preference of cats for either men or women can vary from one individual cat to another. 

Cats are known to form unique bonds with their human caregivers, regardless of gender.

Factors such as previous experiences, handling, socialization, and individual personality can influence a cat's preference for one gender over another.

Voice and body language matter

While it is often said that cats may be more drawn to women due to their typically softer voices and nurturing demeanor, many cats also form strong attachments with men. 

Cats are sensitive to the way people interact with them, including their tone of voice, body language, and the quality of attention they receive. 

Cats may develop a preference for someone who provides them with consistent care, affection, playtime, and a calm environment, regardless of their gender.

How to pick a pet

If you are considering adopting a cat and have a preference for a cat that may be more inclined towards a particular gender, it's advisable to spend time interacting with different cats and observing their responses.
