Kitties have varied personalities and are wonderful pets. I've had lots of them over the years, both male and female. I have found that some females are as you describe and of course males too, but depending on the personality, I've found both male and female to be perhaps less friendly and territorial. It's truly dependent, I think, on their personality.
I am thankful for the two we have at the present time and can never see a time when I will be without one. Thank you for sharing and have a lovely day!
