Thread: What do you prefer a male or female maine coon for a pet?

I have a male and female MC. I always had the mindnset males made better pets, but both bring different qualities, and I am still sitting on the fence!! From the moment we got the female she squirmed when you picked her up & she would not let you hold her. Two years down the road nothing has changed. As well, she has never once sat on my lap. however....she is the sweetest cat I have ever known, and intellegent beyond what she should be!! Never wines or cries, and happy with what ever you give her. She is very attached to me, and snuggles up with only me every night!! She rarely leaves my side! She is extremely active and curious, and needs a lot of stimulation. My boy on the other hand is a 23 pound lapcat, couch potatoe. Love them both, but would be really torn on what to get if I added another MC to the pack...male or female! I think I would consider a .... oh still not sure!! :-)
