Gender has nothing whatsoever to do with whether a cat will be
affectionate... depends mostly on their genetics. Barny is extremely
affectionate, he's my shadow, I can't go anywhere without him... but
he's been with me from the time I took him from the barn at about six
weeks old, his sister Kali is much more aloof and prefers to be by
herself yet they were taken from the barn together... I've had as many
affectionate cats of both genders... I chalk it up to cat business.
