The answer to the question of whether it is better for a novice to keep a male cat or a female cat is not absolute. You have to choose according to your own preferences. If you like a clingy and lively cat, get a male cat. If you like a gentle and affectionate cat, get a female cat. The difference between male and female cats lies in their personality, body shape and estrus period. Male cats are clingy but also naughty, while female cats have hot and cold personalities. Male cats are larger and better looking than female cats. ;Male cats like to urinate randomly during estrus, but neutering surgery is relatively simple and subsequent recovery is faster. Female cats will meow during estrus, so neutering surgery is more complicated and recovery is slower.
