Hey Purring Journal, have you ever seen "Oliver & Company"? It came out in the 80s and the age group of adults that can afford cats and also have pet insurance for them probably coincides with having seen it in childhood. It features a homeless orange kitten named Oliver.

I had two male Russian Blues. They were brothers. I was blessed to have Bert and Ernie for 16 years. Bert passed about 2 months before Ernie. I think Ernie died from a broken heart. They were quite large at 17 and 19 pounds. They weren't fat, just large loving fireballs. It's been 20 years since they passed, and not a day passes that I don't think fondly of my feline friends. I haven't had a cat since then. Yes, I miss my furry friends.

Our male cat is an exception to #4. He never had kittens of his own but when we used to live on the farm, he found three kittens without their mother and he raised them as his own. He took them out into the field and taught them to hunt. They would follow him around single file. It was so cute. :)

In the 70’s, my mom had an indoor female Siamese cat that was in heat. One day during dinner, she heard a cat outside on the porch. When she opened the door, there was a male Siamese cat. She let him come inside. He went upstairs and the two cats mated. When they were finished, he came back downstairs and she let him out. She didn’t see him again until just after her cat had her kittens. Mom heard the male cat on the porch again. She opened the door, let him in, and he went upstairs and groomed all the kittens. When he was finished, he left and she never saw him again.

Many years ago I had a grey male tabby named Oliver. I have had two ginger males - the most affectionate ever. They were both ferals, probably living in barns and probably related. My ladies have lived longer, about 22 years. Most of my cats were barn cats that strayed from their colonies. When we captured them in -35C winter to save their lives, it took them a month or more to come out from under the furniture in the room we keep for the strays until they can get medical care and are calm enough to integrate. They seemed to think they were victims of alien abduction and would be murdered any moment. Gradually they got used to the good food, clean litter and soft beds. Then they become first class pets. I'm very much a cat lover.

I have to disagree with the statement that male cats don't care about kittens. I have had three male cats that took over taking care of their sister's kittens when something happened to the mother. They would bathe the kittens, make sure they were fed, guarded them while they played. I had a coworker that told me that she had a male cat that took over taking care of her female cat's kittens when the mother cat abandoned them. None of these of these male cats were Siamese.

I have also encountered a very loving male cat. I think he is the father of the kitten I took in because he used to care for her and hid her in my back porch and come in the morning and take her with him. I tried to befriend him and the kitten but he was too fearful but the kitten finally warmed up to me as I fed her everytime I saw her in my porch. I then Decided to adopt her so she didn't have to live the difficult life outside. She has been the sweetest she fell in love with my male cat and they became companions until he passed. I also TNR all the cats in my area so the suffering outdoors can stop.

Ivor, I've had cats all my life too; I absolutely adore them and wouldn't be without one. The 'cat of my life', Becky, chose me as her human companion when she was a kitten. She was intelligent, gentle, sweet natured, and a real "little old fashioned lady", but also very determined, sensible and stoical - she had to be as she had some serious health issues for a lot of her life, although she could be a real little tigress if another cat invaded her territory. I had the privilege of her company for nearly 16 years; she was my little soulmate and helped me through some stressful times. I loved her dearly, think of her often, and will miss her forever. I love my current kitty to bits, but Becky was special.

I feel you, brother. I had a runt, likely inbred, that we believe was half Bombay (his sister _really_ looked like it) named Locutus of Cat, nicknamed Booger. That combination gave him the face of a kitten his whole life, and everyone always said he was the cutest cat they'd seen. He was also a character and a half, had several specific games he liked to play with me, and didn't have a single mean bone in his body -- he literally loved everyone, human or animal, he ever met. And even cats that hated every other cat treated him kindly, probably because he looked like a big kitten, but also because he was so docile. He would have befriended a mouse if he'd ever met one. He's been gone nearly 10 years now. We've since lost every cat from that cluster -- ironically, his tiny, grumpy sister lived the longest at 17 years -- and while I miss them all, none hurt as much as much as losing him. He was one of a kind.

He was a character and a real people cat, he also raised two 4 week old kitties to 6 months old when they were adopted by my sister. He LOVED them, and didn't let them out of his sight! Dude, also carried them in his mouth and put them on his "perch" in the window, curled up with them, and slept with them all night. He also taught them to use their litter, as they were so young when I took them to foster that their mother didn't have a chance to teach them. Dude loved his calico and tuxedo cat.

My boy cat is a great father to his kittens. When my girl was in labor he would lay with her and groom her, getting up to 'patrol' the area for a minute before rejoining her. After the babies were born he stayed close to the nest (we separated him just in case) but once they were 2 weeks old and mom would leave them for short periods of time, he'd go in and lay with them and groom them. Any time mom was away, Dad was there to watch the babies. And when they were old enough, he played with them, very gently. He is such a good boy. He's a bombay, and the mom is a snowshoe tabby.

I didn't realize that it's an established fact that ginger cats are more likely to be male than female. I suspected as much, since in my vast experience with cats, I've known only one ginger female, Miss Kitty, my childhood pet. She had the sweetest, calmest, most loving temperament - she didn't even hate the vet. 😮

My bf's cats had kittens, but the mother died the next day with several of the kittens. So at first the dad seemed to avoid the kittens, but when they got big enough to play he'd watch them, then eventually joined them and played gently. Then when there was just his daughter left after the others were adopted, I'd see him groom her and he took her out hunting in the backyard. He also will call for her after midnight to go eat her second dinner, he gets worried if she doesn't come out before then or he didn't see her eat a second time.

Ollie and Stanley are Siamese brothers, Stanley was 'visual' first, Ollie took 5 years to notice TV etc., Ollie was the first talker, Stanley started 6 years later! Each had their characteristics, and being the 'tough guy' Ollie seemed like he resisted cuddles - but when hoisted and cuddled, he's a purr machine. I discovered his 'key', stroking his cheeks. Most likely you haven't found his 'key' yet.

We nutered him but he was very active even going so far as to hunt wild rabbits out of their dens. He's an old cat now enjoying his 16th year of life nearing 17 now. I feed him mostly turkey & or chicken meat while supplementing normal cat food.

I trapped a feral male, had him neutered and then put him in a catio we built outside. I spent hours outside with him sticking my arms into the catio and scratching his ears and belly for about a year. Then we put a cat door coming into the house from the catio and he started hanging around in the house. NOW he is fully tamed and is my shadow. He talks to me, hangs out in the bathroom with me and still goes on the back patio (no catio) and comes in when I call him. He is the most affectionate cat I have ever owned or seen. It took me 2 years to get him tamed because was a REAL WHOLEHEARTED FERAL. Now he acts like a loyal dog.

I have a feral cat I got as a young kitten. She's called Prickle. I've had another cat that was also feral, and honestly, they're THE most affectionate cats. Once they like you. But you have to find out what kind of attention they prefer, they're very specific on what is acceptable or not acceptable. I can rarely pick up Prickle, and she's sat on my lap once (because she wanted me to donate my fluffy cardigan to her), but if she's on the bed beside me, and has her back turned to me, I can snuggle her for ages, and she'll purr and talk to me. Otherwise, it's "hands off" human. You have to observe and find out what kind of attention they will accept. None of this "grab the cat up and cuddle at will" domesticated cat stuff.

My male cat is almost motherly in how affectionate he is with kittens. He practically raised the two kittens that came after him, constantly grooming them, letting them suckle to the point that he got hickeys and scratch marks on his stomach. We had to force them apart to get the kits to grow out of it and he was so distressed...

My mancat passed away at 16 last month. I first met him when he was 3weeks old as I was volunteering at an animal shelter. He was the most affectionate and loving soul. When my other cat had kittens (poor judgment on my mothers part) he would carry them around in his mouth and let them try to nurse off his useless nipples. He was one of a kind, for sure. I’ll cry about losing him probably every day for the rest of my life.

​@@Sarah-ql1ql he is not trying to "dominate". OK, cats are neither dogs, nor are they teenage boys reading dating advice telling them they have to be ALPHA. They're CATS. What he is trying to do is get rid of competition for prey and space and is going to seriously HURT the kitten unless you keep an eye on him and check his behavior until he accepts the newcomer. I understand people are stupid this way, to think about "domination" and stuff because Cesar Milan made it popular; but cats are NOT pack animals. They do NOT create social structure. If you see a ceat beating up a cat, it's not to dominate, assert, or "show them who's boss". It's to "get rid of the f***". The difference is, it does not stop when the other cat "submits". It stops when the other cat is GONE. If you want your new cat accepted, you have to work for it.

I was surprised about the dominant paw fact. I have two females cat and my older one is right handed. I realized that when I bought an interactive bowl for her food. For my younger cat I am not sure yet about her preference. About male cats the last one we had was really special and quite wild. He was in love with me (I am a women) and was in competition with my husband. We had him for ten years and he never adjusted to the presence of my husband. Unfortunately when we moved, he left and we never saw him again. He was a great climber in trees and hunter. I am sad to not know what happened to him after he left. Anyway my husband was traumatized by this kind of relationship and he insisted to adopt only a female cat. Here we are ! We have a new female, adorable and really affectionate. 😻

After about a year he started sneaking upstairs but we already knew we were going to keep him so I started leaving my cat carrier out for him to sleep in so I could take him down to get him neutered and shots, the trick worked. He is the sweetest baby boy ever. He sleeps on me and I just adore him. Moscow our other male walked into our house and never left. He is so talkative and lovable.

When my 6-year-old cat Velvet died in my arms, I had just come home from being with my niece and her dying husband, when because Velvet didn't come to greet me as always did I called her and she finally came to me. I picked her up and she made an awful horrible sound. I was talking to her, she made that sound again. I went to my neighbor so she could take us to the night vet in our city. I went back to get my purse. When I got back to my neighbors she told me that Velvet was not alive that she must have died while I was holding her. The next day I took her to Precious Pets a place that will cremate your pet by itself so you can keep the ashes. Now Velvet is in a beautiful little box that has her picture on it on one of my shelves. A few days later I called my son and daughter-in-law and asked them to bring me two girl baby kittens, they rescue cats, they brought Teo and TwoTwo 2 of the tiniest little black ones that were less than a month old. Their mom had been killed by an opossum just as their eyes were starting to open. Well since my son apparently can't tell the difference between a girl and a boy baby I got one of each! I discovered that when Teo's tummy started getting bigger! When they were 9 months old Teo gave birth to 5 "tiny little ones" I got a human bassinet to put them in. TwoTwo got in with her and would wash their butts as Teo was nursing them. He went to the vet to be neutered! It wasn't going to happen again! I found loving homes for all 5 babies and Teo also saw the vet and was spayed. I didn't name them my son did. Of the litter, he had saved these 2 were always together hence the names, Teo was "the other" and TwoTwo for the two of them. They just turned 5 on March 7th, 2022. They are the sweetest cats. Teo will sit on my lap and talk to me and TwoTwo puts me to bed and gives me a massage. TwoTwo just started patting my leg a couple months ago to let me know they want treats or wet food. Their dry food dish always has food in it. I hope my "cat story" is not too long!

I've had a lot of cats. Probably 50 to 75. I rescued and found homes. I've had several males unaltered while I had kittens too. I'd heard about the killing so I watched close, but I never had any males kill kittens maybe because the females were spayed. I've had males bring prey to kittens and let them snuggle a few would allow mild nursing. I've had 4 orange, 3 were males, Pumpkin was a girl. I still have the first cat I rescued. Silas, he is 17 years old and after kittens get their eyes open and mobile he will let them climb all over him. I'm counting on about 10 more years with him. :D now I have primarily black cats, all related, someone told me black shorthair cats have a link to siamese. Some of these are the biggest cats I've ever had. 8.8 pounds at 7 months old and 13.3 at almost 2 years old. They are the most loving too. ❤️

I prefer male felines, myself, and want to get one someday named "Roger," after my late maternal grandfather. I do not care what breed, but I hope he will be as affectionate as my dearest pet companion was, Smokey. He fell ill last year, had to go live with my younger sister to receive the special care he needed, but Smokey passed on my maternal aunt's birthday. This video was/is very adorable and insightful.

We adopted an outside cat due to their beautiful and deep orange coloring (Pumpkin) and also adopted his brother (named Garfield) , Garfield is lighter but same markings. Pumpkin managed to get a hold of the smaller of 2 kittens before I could stop him but he dropped it and about to go for it again, but I had the baby, sadly the kitten died 2 days later, (it was only 4 days when he died) puncture to the inner thigh and did something to cause kitten to be paralyzed in rear, his rear legs were dead roughly. So I keep Halo, away from both of them. I will be getting all 3 FIXED. We've had un-neutered males before and didn't bother newborn kittens or there after as they grew before so was really shocked .

As a kid, I was told that male cat would kill their young, so I was quite a bit worried when my cat was pregnant (we had a female Siamese and a stray tabby male, I was 5yo) My mother said it was gonna be ok and when she went in labour we witnessed the “unheard of” - the male cat helped during labour and was very active in the care for the kittens and the mother. In later years we ended up having an unofficial cat rescue on our property (a house with a fenced yard) and the fatherly male was the norm. All stray cats, all have been trough rough start of their life, but when they have normal living conditions around humans, even the most aggressive and “don’t touch me” males that never got adopted were taking care of any young kittens that came about, looked over the females and the subordinate males and even settled down disputes and squabbles between the kittens and their mothers (a lot of females with kittens ended up in boxes in front of our door). Domesticated cats are absolutely fascinating and their social ways are quite unique and complex, compared to domesticated animals that were social animals before domestication.

Yep, I'd agree with that. I've had a few cats and in general the females seem to have less "character" - less playfulness and less of a sense of humor - than the males. They're a bit more serious about life. For me it's summed up by one time when my male cat was playing around in a cardboard box and my female cat saw him, marched straight over like it was her duty to do so, and rapped him on the skull for it. There was this real matronly air of "Cease this tomfoolery!" about it. He was totally bewildered, like "What did I do?!" :) But the male cats do seem to respect the female cats' authority - they never attack the females, no matter what the females do to them.

@Heidi H Yes, I'd not fed a solely dry diet before to my cats for the high carb load, especially as they chose to be indoor cats (first one was an idiot, bless him. I think I he went outside once and a big horrible piece of grass jumped at him so he never ventured out again :-) ) I think ultimately it's about balancing risks and those are dependent upon circumstance. But RC is one of the two specialist foods (the other is Hills) that vets recommend here in the UK and it's a higher quality than other dried foods so obviously my vet felt it more important she eat that and benefit from the thirst prompt. Both with her and my lad now, I'm amazed how much it actually does make them drink. Oddly enough, she wasn't food-motivated at all but she loved it so it certainly worked out for her. Obviously everyone's individual vet guidance holds way more weight than some random eejit on YT, but it could be useful as a consideration for those with cats who barely drink - if it came over as my promoting it then apologies, because that wasn't the intent. I guess ultimately they'll all die of something and we have to try and weigh up the pros and cons of every choice to prolong that life and make it as happy as possible, and I'm just sharing some info that worked for us in this specific circ.

In the 1980s, I had a kitty named Levi; a huge silver tabby with the most beautiful face and belly--the latter he loved having rubbed. He was as beautiful inside as he was on the outside. Levi would watch over any homeless kitten I brought home, and he liked the company of other animals. Not surprisingly, he really liked people. Everybody loved Levi, even avowed cat haters adored him. Once when I had a severe muscle spasm in my lower back, he wouldn't leave my side. I was also extremely restless from the pain, and he followed me from bedroom, to living room, to kitchen, bathroom, and back again to the bedroom. He tried jumping on my bed no less than three times trying to cuddle and comfort me, but I was still in too much pain and had to tell him Mommy hurt too badly. Finally, he lay down on the floor right next to the bed where he could still keep an eye on me. When I woke up a few hours later, Levi the Nurse Cat was still on duty--still there and still watching me. When he passed and went to the Rainbow Bridge, I cried every day for a month. I can't wait to be reunited with him and my other babies.

He had such a strong bond to me, he would run to the door when I came home from work, and he loved to be put over my shoulder and snuggle next to my neck purring away. And yes, as a Siamese he was very talkative mostly wanting attention. I don't want to live without cats in my life.

I had my male cat Sylvester for 23 years! He was a Tuxedo ! I decided to helped him cross the bridge in 2009. He was like the child I never had. But, he's still with me...on the shelf in an urn. ❤ I get comfort from that sometimes. I lost Sylvester's brother, by another mother, in 2005. His name was Stalone. 😁

I've only had females since 1970. In 2011 I was looking for a cat to add to my house of 3 females. It was suggested that I get a male cause they'll change my household dynamics. So I got Mikey, an orange tabby. OMG they were right! He's a joy, so outgoing. Four years later I added a male gray tabby. Love my boys! And my girl!

It's a pet peeve of mine when this form of quasi-clickbait is used...when there's a list and the title claims that a number near the end of the list is "shocking" (or "disturbing"), or "You'll never believe #9!" Ugh.

I guess my male is an odd one, he didn’t father the kitten but when I brought in a young 5 weeker last year my females didn’t want anything to do with the male kitten. My male cat was the one who took care of the kitten by cleaning and helping him with feeding and playing and learning the ropes. First time I had ever seen a male take the mama role.

Male cats do care for kittens. Depends on the personality, really. My current calico doesn’t like kittens, she is very hostile and afraid when it comes to them. But my late ginger tabby was very affectionate with babies, he loved caring for them.

We have had so many cats in 48 years of marriage that it is hard to remember them all. each and every one of them, male and female, had very distinct personalities. Our house would seem empty without a least one roaming around.

I’m 62 and have cats since I was 22 (although my mother always had cats too) and when my sixth cat left us recently, I vowed to not get another cat. He was a great cat and followed me everywhere, we were joined at the hip and the thought of replacing him was gut wrenching. But a month or so after he passed, we found ourselves with a kitten. He is way more energetic than I am, but is such a love. The place did feel empty without a cat.
