>I am also thinking about getting another fuzzbutt, I have a boy but heard >females are more affectionate, is this true? Hope, I had always heard it the other way around, that males were more affectionate. And it's been my experience with my bunch that my girls usually try to wriggle away after just a few seconds of being held, and though they'll give the occasional kiss, it's rare. The boys, on the other hand, will allow me to hold them longer and are more likely to give kisses. In fact, my boy Loki (whose nickname is Bubby) will usually give kisses on request. All you have to do is hold him close to your face and say "Give me Bubby kisses," and nine times out of ten he'll shower you with kisses. Of course, this is just my own experience, so I really don't know if I'd generalize and say that males are always more affectionate or vice versa. I'm sure you'll probably have other replies from people whose girls are more demonstrative.

So grey and despairing, strong as steel but collapsed inside, the Crow laughs under a street light, a voodoo smile of one who lived and died and yet still lives... He makes his way home to where he can be shapeless in the dark and paint his face in the colours of joy... Tonight, hell sends an angel bearing gifts..." --J.
