The right answer... either! Or preferably, both.
However, we understand that people may prefer one gender over the other. And AnimalWised is here to explain the difference in adopting a female feline versus a male. They dive into the different "characteristics that differentiate male and female cats and if this has an effect on suiting your family and lifestyle, as well as ensuring you can give them the care they need."

Chug, chug, chug! The Sunday Train of cat goodness has arrived!
Every Sunday, we gather up the best cat videos on Instagram and narrow it down to the top 5! What qualifies a video to be in the top five? Well, it's gotta hit some high marks. One mark is obviously kitty cuteness (but let's be honest, all cat videos hit that mark), so the next would be funny/unexpected. And the final, and most important mark, is if the video leaves us smiling at the end of it. And all these videos definitely left us smiling.
We hope it does the same for you. Happy Sunday!
A new photo archive by Vintag.es shows that some of the European colonizers penetrating Africa in the 19th and early 20th centuries were riding wild zebras as an alternative to horses.
The reason behind it is the zebra's resistance to diseases carried by tsetse flies which made their domestication more attractive.
However, as many European colonizers learned in the early 20th century, despite their similarity to horses, zebras are just a bit too wild to completely tame.
Unlike horses, which naturally roam around munching on grass, zebras spend their lives cagily watching, evading and fighting savannah predators such as lions, cheetahs and crocodiles. Natural selection has bred zebras to be nervous, flighty and brutally aggressive if cornered.
But taming individual zebras to perform horse-like duties has occasionally been successful. Lord Walter Rothschild, for instance, trained a team of zebras to pull a carriage, which he drove past Buckingham Palace to demonstrate their supposedly pliable nature.
Many people find penguins cute either because of their chubby and feathery appearance and/or their unique behavior, including singing or bringing rocks to find a partner for life.

Kids and animals are a double dose of cuteness.

Sweden's first cat psychologist, Susanne Hellman Holmström, has outlined 10 necessities (In addition to food and water) that cats need in order to be happy: scratching, cleaning its fur, hiding, looking after its territory, playing, sleeping, hunting, spying, discovering, and social connection.
That list can be difficult to achieve for some indoor cats as many people are living in smaller spaces.
Holmstrom decided to find a solution for this problem and collaborated with local Swedish interior designer, Eleonor Moschevitz, to create the purr-fect cat flat with 10 things to make them happy.
On the outside, it looks like a regular wooden storage cabinet that many would have in their living room, but on the inside...well, that's a cat's heaven.
The "Cat Flat" has doors that have vertical and horizontal slats that give the piece character while giving you a shadowy peek of your frolicking felines. Standing at three levels, the cabinet lets felines go wild with the freedom to move throughout the layers and play with the various scratchers and toys.
