Male or female for Twiggy?

[marko]

Hi Everyone,

Twiggy is a 10 year old female cat (adopted claw less...and now she has no teeth due to past infections) that gets along with all cats - in a few months we will be looking for a new friend her.

I forget if there is a difference or preference for adopting male or female cats based on the sex of the current cat.

One weird thing about Twiggy is that even though she has been spayed - she goes through regular periods where she exhibits sexual behaviours (rubbing, getting into a mounting positions etc.). She strictly indoors though - Leary of the outside.

Because of this we were thinking adopting a female cat might be best........

any thoughts?

many thx!

Having no experience with this sort of thing, I've got no advice for you--but I'd be curious to hear what you decide, what your thought process is, and how it turns out! I'm still toying with the idea of eventually getting JD a playmate, once he's got me trained up to be a little more conversant in "cat"... Well, and once we get the extra living space set up.

Would Twiggy be getting another hairless as a buddy? Young cat or older? Can't wait to meet the newbie!

Thx! - Not sure about age and sex but Carmy is leaning toward another baldie. They come up in the rescues here from time to time.
