Are female cats as territorial as males?

Answer 1

Female cats are actually more territorial than males. Male territories overlap, while females guard their territories from both sexes to preserve their hunting for the sake of present and future kittens.

Males get a bad territoriality rap because of their habit of spraying to mark their territory as a message to other cats. Female cats also spray, but not as often and not as much.

Spaying and neutering, especially before these behaviors can become established habits, will stop most territorial behavior, but the non-sex driven behaviors remain.

In terms of how different cats will get along in a home, more can depend on the cat's personalities and background than their sex. A rescue can be more sensitive to these issues than a well-raised, laid back cat who doesn't see the need to conserve resources since they have always been provided properly.

The worst territory offenders are cats who have never been socialized with their own kind. Lacking knowledge of the social gestures and unable to share, they wind up marked down as "only cats" in the shelters.

Answer 2

Animal behavior studies have shown that foreplay before the onset of sex is noticed in the same sex due to the rise in bio chemicals in the blood even in the

absence of the opposite mate.

In the real world male cats only get tempted to have sex. Males have to drive females to have sex, sometimes the males get so badly rejected that they get wounded very badly. It is not possible for a female cat to want to have sex with a female cat to become fertilized but only as foreplay.

Answer 3

Yes they do they are sort of like male mice. they are very territorial so they fight. if you don't fix the problem then it may lead to death but don't worry you can ether separate them or you can get a new cage and put them in at the same time if that doesn't work i would separate them if it does work then they should be the best of friends. they also shouldn't fight if they have been raised since they were born.

Answer 4

A Cat fight is a physical struggle or battle between usually, two girls or women. the term is derived from the much older Dogfight ( usually one word) applied to a one-on one aerial battle common in world war I. Tactical doctrine generally discouraged Dog fighting in later wars. Cat Fights follow no rules but often the gals try to pull each other"s hair out, us long fingernails to go for the eyes, yecch, it is sickening to even think about. People think of cats as feminine ( false analogy between feline and female) that"S the origin.
