@the_corvidae With male cats, their primary goal is mating, which requires requires boldness, roaming, and physical dominance. But once they are neutered, their aggression instincts fade, but the boldness remains. Some humans perceive this as them be more “friendly.”
@the_corvidae There’s an evolutionary reason that male cats tend to be more “outgoing” and it’s because female cats have to raise kittens and males do not, so females tend to be more cautious and not outwardly affectionate because being a mother requires hyper-vigilance.
