8 Surprising Facts About Male Cats
1. Male cats live shorter lives.
Did you know that just like humans, male cats tend to live slightly shorter lives than female cats?
While we don’t know the exact reason for this, we are left with a difference of 1 or 2 years of a shorter lifespan than the average female cat. We can only speculate that males tend to fight and roam more than females and suffer health problems such as a blocked urethra.
2. Male cats are more likely to be left pawed.
While female cats use their right paw as the dominant ones, males prefer the left. Cats have a preference on which paw they prefer to use when knocking things off tables or taking a swipe at a flying insect and tend to use the dominant paw.
Studies have shown that 52% of male cats used their left paw, 31% used their right paw and 17% didn’t seem to have any preference.
3. Male cats have a wanderlust.
Unlike female cats who are happy close to home, male cats tend to have a more independent nature. They have a more active sex drive which means they would be more likely to roam quite far out in search of females in heat. They would be more likely to get into fights with other males due to this and compete for territory too. Male cats are naturally curious and like to explore and wander if given the opportunity.
