I agree with JLB- I have NEVER had a male that sprayed...the closest I got was my big haired male, Tenny...he sometimes has problems navigating the box with his rudder (tail), and little poops fall over the side..he he he...

And, generally, I do find the males more loving- the girls seem more aloof, but even my two girls Allie and Georgie can love up a storm in a second..
