YAY at last I have worn my fiance down In my Christmas card this year he sneaked in a little piece of paper stating - "This is one voucher to be redeemed at any time for one cat of your choosing..." I literally jumped for joy at the thought of being able to get Fury a little brother.

I definitely want a male - however I'm still not sure which filial generation to go for. Fury is an F5 so is quite late generation but does exhibit extremely wild characteristics (which I definitely wouldn't change) but I'm curious on the early generation temperament from anyone who has experience of F2/F3's. Any info on behaviour, or if you feel they do act differently from the later generations, good and bad traits - if you've noticed any at all. Everything from their calls to their independence i.e. Fury is not a lap cat at all and hates faces being close to her (unless it's my OH or me). Are the early generations more solitary or do they like to sit next to you or on you?

Fury hasn't a clue about the meaning of 'soft paws' like I trained prior cats on. She's always teeth and nails lol. I've also heard males can exhibit some aggressive tendencies. Anyone experienced this? If so, what behavioural training or tips did you use or do you have?

Any info/comments will be useful in helping me make a more informed decision. So happy to expand our family at last!

You need to do a lot of research before committing yourself to an EG, EGs tend to be very dependant and bond very closely with one person and often only one person. Some owners can not even go on holiday because of the distress it causes to their EG.
They do not like change and so must be considered to be a pet for life, as they react very badly to being rehomed.
They are a "specialist" pet and should never be bought on a "whim" or because they look good, they should only be considered by people who have a lot of time to spend with them in the home and know a lot about them.
They are "hard work", requiring almost daily work to remain friendly and manageable, as some on here will tell you.
