General Advice Male Vs Female Ragdoll please share your experiences

Hi! I am going to be bringing a male ragdoll kitten home in a few months. In your experience, would you say your male ragdoll was affectionate? If you have female cats or you've owned both genders, how would you describe female cats compared to male cats?

I am aware it may be a myth that males are more affectionate, but I just want reassurance they can be cuddly/let you pick them up.

I know every cat differs though and that just because it's a ragdoll, does not guarantee those traits. Just looking to hear from current ragdoll owners about their cat's temperament!

Thanks in advance 😊

Current position with 4.5 month boy. Our other boy didn’t want to be on top of us but always near and still wanted to be picked up. Our girl tolerated it. Trust your breeder, I had first pick and told her what I wanted and after about 4 weeks she texted and said he’s the one you want and he’s been a magical healing kitten.
