LOL...but it might be so. I got two felines from the pound, one adult and a Hallmark-card poster kitten. The older cat instantly adopted the kitten and lavished attention on him...and both are male cats.

Maybe. But my three cats, let me tell you, the minute they get hungry they start tasting my fingers and staring at me in a very meaningful way.
