I’ve had a female ragdoll cat before, it was my moms, but she was attached to me, she was unique, she was very cuddly, talkative, and energetic. Her name was daisy. She would sleep with me every night, she would stay by my side for hours if I was sick or crying. She was very smart, she knew how to sit, spin, lay down, high five, and I taught her a trick called tippy taps, where she moved her feet in a tapping motion. She would follow me around the house and I could put her on a harness and take her for walks. Everytime I sat or i tried to lay in bed, she would run into my lap and cuddle up next to me. I truly miss her.
R.I.P daisy 2021 ❤
Daisy is an angel. I wish you the best! Thanks for sharing
May GOD hold u in His arms… i would die without my cats, a male ragdoll who is exactly as u described your female cat and my other baby male mix norwegian forest and something is the most adorable male cat ul ever find. Like a real human baby still even though he is almost 6 years old 😂
My male cat, Gamecube, is super hyperactive into his adulthood and aggressively demands pets. He's also a little bitey
Love the name Gamecube!
Ooh good name! 👍
I have a female and male Siberian and this is so on point! My female is not as affectionate typically but when I am sick or crying she always comes and starts cuddling! My male likes to cuddle 24/7
Awww thanks for sharing :). Your cats sounds beautiful! Wish your family the best
You perfectly described how my male and female cats are! My female cats love her personal space despite being really friendly and talkative. But she gets cuddly when you're crying. My male cat likes being babied 24/7
My male bengal cat would be happy to cuddle 24/7 and would smile and be happy no matter you woke him up :) My female bengal cat on the other hand only wants cuddles when she ask for it herself and look grumpy if you wake her up :)
So true! I stayed overseas and became very, very ill with colitis. The people I was staying with had two beautiful cats, a brother and sister pair. The female almost never came out. I only saw her a handful of times in the living area, whereas the male was always on the couch, looking for a lap to sit on. When I became ill the female would cuddle me in bed and one time, when I was curled up on the bathroom floor on my side, she came pushed her back into my belly, so we were spooning. It was the sweetest thing and gave me so much comfort 🥹❤️
Her maternal instinct 🥰
My daughter has 2 males. One is very affectionate, constantly purring and kissing. The other one is very friendly but only wants affection now and again. He likes to do his own thing.
I have a male cat that is particularly affectionate and protective. When I had my spinal fusion surgery he did not leave my side for 6 weeks except to eat and use the litter box.
Wow that is so sweet of him!
This is pretty accurate for my ragdolls. They're both super affectionate and follow me around. My girl is a little more independent and calm. My boy is more playful and energetic. He likes to climb the curtains and walk all over me, kneed by face, and groom me in the morning, which can get... exhausting. I prefer the more relaxed personality of my girl. She's so sweet and soft. I love when she licks my fingers and hand while petting her. They both let me pick them up, but my mom is able to hold my boy for hours while only lets me hold him for a few minutes. I don't know her secret
hahah maybe your mom sneak him more treats? :)
I have a flame ragdoll named Wilson he is neutered and he is only friendly when he is hungry he is huge and I love him 💗💗💗
Hahaha love wilson :)
We ❤ both our boy & girl kitties.
Your cats are cute! From my experience, female cats are more affectionate than male cats. Female cats prefer to stay inside a house while male cats want to be outside most of the time and they wander much much farther than female cats.
We have a year old spayed female mackerel tabby named Cheetah girl and she is mostly gentle and very loving.
ALWAYS get two cats. lol HUGE cat lover here. I've had cats since I had a crib.. A cat even found me while I was deployed to Iraq.
They are magical creatures for sure!
Thats awesome!
I have just one cat, but that certainly wasn't my choice. It was, Either get one or none. 🙄 If I had it my way, I absolutely would have also adopted one of her litter mates as well. Hopefully I'll be able to get another cat within the near future. I know my Lydia would absolutely love having a playmate. 😢 (Non-aggressive, non territorial. She's the sweetest thing ever. 😢)
@@AudreyC379you can never be certain until the other cat moves in. I've had a female that seemed a perfect fit for a playmate, even was ok with stranger cats outside the house. It wasn't until we moved in a cat she interacted with well at first did we find out that wasn't the case. We tried a couple different cats before finding out that biscuits wants to be with her humans only, and will become aggressive and upset upon realizing that the new cat isn't just passing through and is here to stay. In fact, it caused her such anxiety even after the other cat was moved out that she still is upset & nervous to this day, months later. She seems to worry I might try it again, and is still on edge. If I knew, I would have never tried. It can be a hard decision, and oftentimes not fixing something not broken is the best choice. Cats are often affectionate and comfortable simply because of the fact they feel stable and secure. Good luck either way! 🐈
Team male cat for me. I have three and adore them so much!
Que saudade que eu estava de voces. Obrigada
I have a male cat and he is very affectionate! I love him so much! He is such a sweetheart, he loves cuddles and pets and wants attention all the time haha! I plan to get a female cat for his companion int he future, and I'd love to have kittens too! 💗
Awwww he sounds perfect!
Get a female kitten they are super cute
Absolutely lovely 😊😊
Thank you!
Sorry I haven't watched in so long, but back in May we lost Helios to kidney failure, and your babies look so much like him. We told the breeder and she was devastated, but of course she immediately offered us a new kitten. We went to pick the kitten up but she had a 6 month old "accident" she had failed to find a home for. One of her blue bi colour females had escaped while she was in heat. Little guy had the sweetest personality, even though he was only half ragdoll he had the full ragdoll temperament. He was also solid blue. So we took him home instead! Oberon has been a delightful ray of sunshine to help heal our souls. He and Artemis love each other and play together. Oberon also loves Pangur, but Pangur does not love him back! I'll probably go back and watch your old videos soon. I hope you understand why it has been so hard, we loved our Helios so much.
I am sorry to hear of your loss! Oberon sounds like an amazing kitty. Hopefully Pangur comes around :). I wish you and your cat family the best!
Could you please do a video about what products youve brought your insanely cute ragdoll siblings and what they use?
Yeah I can! Most of the furniture and bowls at least is here: thecatbutler.co/
Two DMS boys here. Both ex-strays. Weirdly the one who isn't as cuddly is the one that isn't skittish around other people. Our cuddle bug is scared anyone not us. Something to work on. Gender honestly means so little, I wouldn't really even consider it when it came to getting another cat.
Male and female cats are all wonderful, yet for some, gender differences can be valuable when determining the right fit in a new family member...
I picked up two strays, both female, clearly mother and daughter, so it wasn't really a choice. I'm working on moving them indoors (neither really know what indoors is just yet...)
Mom's rather affectionate, the daughter is pretty standoffish, but seems like she wants to make friends. Eventually. Both are now spayed.
Great video, as always Cat Butler! I have always had a male cat paired with a female dog with great results. Both times that I varied from my preferred pairing of species and sexes have been fraught with major issues, as I was basically talked into taking the puppy or kitten the breeder wanted to sell. In both non-overlapping cases (thank God), the female cat who urine marked my bed and the total PIA male dog were returned after several months of soul searching, anxiety and tears shed. Lesson learned! My current Siamese boys Jasper and Austen and their baby sister Dachshund, Hildy, have proven once again my formula works!
On the prevailing notion that “two is better than one”, I would add the caveat that breed does matter! The boys breeder pushes very hard, and since I had not yet gotten word from Hildy’s breeder after a three year wait, I succumbed. While I would not change anything now, that first year of life with two extremely active, inquisitive, and destructive Siamese kittens brought me to the edge of sanity. Exploring kitchen cabinets and smashing dishes on the floor was indeed a first for me! One kitten would have been absolutely fine with Hildy as a companion, however, my happy little trio are of course priceless to me now!❤ hugs to Temo and Arya!

Always love hearing from your experience and wisdom :D. Always learn a lot myself from your experience. Austen and Jasper are quite the duo! How were they able to open kitchen cabinets haha. They must be super smart!
Hugs to your Jasper, Austen, and Hildy!
@@TheCatButler indeed they are TOO smart! Thanks for the kind words! Hugs back to Temo, Arya amd our favorite Cat Butler!!!
I have a female Ragamese cat and she is a mix of a Ragdoll and Siamese, she is very friendly and always rubs on me and meows at me all the time. Also, she lays on my bed all the time even when I feel like sleeping. I love my cat so much!
Awww give her pets for me :)
@@TheCatButler Oh my goodness, I will!
@@TheCatButler Oh yeah, I forgot to mention my cat's name, her name is Gara.
My husband and I adopted two female cats recently. Their names are Charmy and Frieren (we love anime).They are torties and are sisters. Frieren is more laid back and less cuddly. Charmy however is a cuddle loving monster that needs to be in your lap or she will meow for eternity. She also has no awareness of her surroundings and will roll off anything which makes me a bit nervous. They both are playing machines though and can play for a solid hour before getting tired. We love them both though and couldn't imagine life without them.
Hello, I’ve just joined you and subscribe to your channel, I am a breeder of RAGDOLLS and I have eight of all different colors boys as well as girls, and they all pretty much get on quite well. There is a pecking order in every animal, but pheromone plug-ins can help that, the ragdoll ragdoll takes four years to fully develop. Not a lot of people knew that they all the most wonderful docile cat great with dogs, children the elderly male and females alike. Yes, the boys are always bigger and when they become fathers the queens, which is the female that had the kittens his kittens will allow him to come in and greet them, even when they’re newborn, that’s a delight to watch these kittens grow after delivering them into the world and as they get bigger, I’m ready to leave make other families happy with their kittens❤
Thank you for making so many families happy and bringing a cloud of joy into their lives. You are the best :D
I'm getting a male russian blue soon, I hope he will be very outgoing
Thanks for this I never knew about the cheeks for males!! 7:13 My Guys is 14 y ears old and neutred as soon as he was able to so about 13 and a half years ago yet he just started this yowling all hours of the day and night about 3 weeks ago, so they still want it at that age even when neutred!! wow
Wow that is interesting
Actually because of the age of your cat it yowling is very common when they have health problems like with the thyroid!! Go check him pls ❤
Idk if ill ever find a good video showing side by side pictures of all different cat breeds showing which are males and females. That would help the most.
My kids had a female Maine Coon cat.
She was always nice to me but spent most of time time with my two daughters.
She even said "MOMeeeeeee" just like the girls.
BUT when she was in heat she came to ME.
I didn't think there were cats in the neighborhood so I threw her out the front door.
She had her first litter....
Eight of them....
🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I think I should get both ❤
Yes! ☺
Yes indeed :)
My female kitty loves to play and cuddle. She follows me around everywhere i go. Even just walking around the house she's always by my side. She sleeps between my legs most nights too. Shes my little space heater. She was a ferrell kitty (all black with a little chest patch of white) and i took her in at about 2 or 3 months old. Her name is willow. ( As in willow Ferrell) Spayed her around 7 months. She went into heat a few times before i was able to get her spayed. She is so talkative. I try and talk to her all day long and tell her i love her and play with her with her mousies and fishies. I might have saved her from the dangers of the outside (we live in the country with wild dogs and coyotes) but she saved me too. She basically cured my depression and ive been sober from drugs for over 2 years now. I got clean when i saved her. I used for almost 10 years. She truly saved my life and i love her with every ounce of my heart and soul.
Thanks for sharing! Loved learning about Willow and how she is your little space heater :)
Speaking for myself, I have an unneutered male cat who is half indoor and half outdoor. He has a remarkable habit of going outside whenever he needs to pee or poo, consistently avoiding any accidents inside the house over his three and a half years. Astonishingly, he eats with an almost human-like appetite, and I can't help but wonder if it's a Balkan feline trait. Despite the norm of neutering, we've opted to let him be, and he remains remarkably healthy, content, and just purrs away.
that is awesome!
I’m looking for a good litter box do you have any suggestions?
Hey I use this litter box. It looks good and keeps the litter in if you pair it with tofu litter. And its easy to clean. amzn.to/3LHbDtt
Team female cat for me, they are super loyal and protective if you are sick or sad
My male ragdoll is like vocal and needy clingfoil 😂. My female ragdoll is very independent but still super affectionate. She just doesn't cling to my feet 24/7.
:)
May i know how old was your female ragdoll when you spayed her?
roughly at 4.5 months
Thank your information my friend. I have too cat channel.
Thank you!
I have a 5 month old Ragdoll male and I'm super surprised by how affectionate he is. I how you one for my choice of breed by the way! He's a love bug and so intelligent and playful. I always had male cats, they're bigger teddy bear to snuggle with 😊
That is awesome! Teemo is like a big teddy bear too :D
Does anyone know what cat breed this is shown in the video?
It’s a Ragdoll cat
@@TheCatButler thank you!
Uhmm as long as i know its not right to get your pet on a vet diet if its still healthy (?) Like you said to give them urinary food for prevention
I want to give a diffrent answer ,depending of what day it is.. ^^
one of my fav ragdolls on social hello babieeees 🥰
Oh thank you!
I have three month old kinda stray kittens living in my backyard (they have been socialized with humans) and im planning to officially make them housecats by neutering two of the males. But i really want kittens from my female cat (very affectionate) but i dont want some random stupid strat cat mating with my precious female cat. What breed of cat should i somehow try to make her mate with? (your videos are awesome btw 😊)
Haha I am biased. Ragdoll is my favorite. But you can consider what color pattern you like. Mainecoon is also nice! And glad you enjoy the videos!
yup ragdolls are pretty cute ❤
Do you know other breeds where females are super affectionate? I would like a girl ❤ i just got a coonie boy that is 6yo
Mainecoons are definitely affectionate. Here is a video I did about affectionate cat breeds!

Hills pet food is as old as the hills!!
My ragdoll male don’t spray but he doesn’t clean his bum straight way after pee or poo often he finished peeing he come sit on my carpet or bed 😓
Hahah Teemo does that too. Have to wipe him whenever he finishes in the litter box
@@TheCatButler I use to be able to hear when my cat go to toilet but now he does it so quietly I usually don’t have a clue he just went until I see the wet bum 🙀
When did you neutered Teemo??
Roughly 6 months?
Which breedisthis
Ragdoll cat! Here is a video that talks about it: Pros and Cons of Owning a Ragdoll Cat | The Cat Butler

How old was Teemo when he was neutered?
roughly 5 months
@@TheCatButler 5 weeks only? That’s so young. Most kittens are adopted at 8 weeks.
Sorry that was a typo it’s 5 months
Nah gender doesn’t get me they can be even they and I would still love them they are cats at the end ❤❤❤
It’s always so funny to me watching these videos about sex differences because my cats apparently enjoy to defy stereotypes 😹
My Maine Coon cats are almost exactly 20 months old now, so rapidly approaching turning 2 years old in Feb (where does the time go?! Where did my kittens go?! 🙀), and I’ve got one boy and one girl from a litter of originally 8.
They at least conform to the stereotypes on size alone - My boy cat Harvey 🐈 is absolutely bigger - 8kg vs 5kg for Nikita 🐈⬛ - and he’s also got a noticeably wider face. Nika actually has a much longer and fuller mane, and her tail has been both longer and wider/fluffier (though Harvey is slowly puffing out his tail and catching up!)… but interestingly, Harvey has much softer and silkier fur, which is much less prone to tangles/matts/furballs! I think this is probably due to the genetic lottery and the coat type they each ended up inheriting from a combination of their parents rather than specifically to do with their sex… but I am curious about the rest of their litter, and am going to make a point of asking the breeder if they can find this out from the other cat-parents of my cats’ siblings!
They were both neutered/spayed at 5 months old, and it would have been sooner if I could have arranged it, especially due to having a brother and sister and not wanting to take any chances of them maturing early and mating (which would have got me in big trouble with the breeder as well as anything else)! TBH I feel like breeders should probably neuter their kittens before they go to their new homes, especially because I didn’t take my kittens home until they were 14 weeks old. Early neutering is a practice that happens more and more now, and some vets will do the op at around 8-10 weeks, which I *fully* support if the vet is skilled and experienced enough to ensure the health and wellbeing of the kittens.
The consequences of not neutering are serious and wide-reaching, both to the immediate and long-term health of your cat, as well as to the wider cat population. Both you and I have bought pedigree cats rather than adopting from a shelter so this 100% is not a lecture or a judgment (though I also very much support the “adopt don’t shop” mentality, if it’s a viable option! I’m mega-allergic in a very long-term and serious way to all cats I’ve met so far, with the exception of Ragdolls and Maine Coons (and cross-breeds, of which I know two!), so for me it was a necessity to know the breed of my cats, and also why I didn’t get my own cats as an adult until I was almost 40), but I know there are so many kittens needing homes and that I 1000% did not want to bring any more into the world by accident, especially in the event of inbreeding between siblings 🙀
One thing you didn’t mention [about the problems faced by un-neutered cats] is the danger of pyometra for female cats, which is an infection of the uterus that can occur even during their first heat cycle, and is an emergency medical situation that can be life-threatening without immediate medical/surgical treatment. There’s also a significantly reduced risk of many kinds of cancers for neutered cats of both sexes (ovarian/cervical/uterine/mammary cancers for female cats, and testicular cancers in male cats); so all of that coupled with the huge benefits to their behaviour and wellbeing (and the knock-on effect as to how good a pet they are for living in your home!), plus the associated longevity of not roaming while looking for a mate and/or fighting during the process, makes neutering a total no-brainer for me 😊
I was going to talk more about the temperament/personality differences in my two cats, but I got carried away and I have to go! I’ll come back later to add to this if I can ☺️
I have never owned a female cat. I have always had male cats. Even growing up I've always had male cats. I almost adopted a female cat recently but by the time I got to the Humane Society someone already adopted her.
The answer is get a male for love, get a female if you want less health issues.
The answer to this question is get both 😊
Teemo? TEEMO?
My male cat is very clingy and loves to lick me when he's grooming himself
Cute!
Not all males spray. Some do it once, and some hose down the whole house. All cats will spray if they are stressed, male or female. If a male has plenty of privacy from other cats people and is played with, he may never spray. The vast majority don’t.
I’m getting a female cat today
Congrats!
Team Female cat
Male cats fight more and cost you a lot more money at the vet. Male cats are just as affectionate as girl cats, Just as loving.
male cats dont caremore of them are cool at what is happening,female cas tend to be either very caring or very bitchy lol
I don’t like generalisations like this
My male cats never covered their poop in the litter box, it was just be sitting there on top, while my girl cats bury them so well I can barely find them lol 😂
Hahaha great :(
