It has been my experience that male cats bond better with women than men. And females bond well with men, and less so with women. All our females consider me "Mom", but have always been more affectionate with my husband.
Cats have very sensitive hearing too.Weezie could hear the tiny shrews under the rocks on the shore upNorth. I'd watch her sit on a large rock and listen to them. So normal voice levels to them may hurt and bother them. I always pitch my voice quietly and higher register. All the cats I've ever had have hated yelling or tense tones. Our second cat Maya is very sensitive to loud talking or yelling, more so than Weezie.
