My wife always says we got jipped on our female. She sheds & is pretty small. That's OK cause the cat & my daughter are pretty tight. Our daughter is the only one who can hold her when it comes time to trim the nails.
The male's (Hemi) fur is so soft & he doesn't shed.
They both are very loud. When my wife leaves the female cat starts howling.
The male growls & takes off running to hide when the doorbell rings, he hates anybody but us. The female is the opposite.
They both love being up high, higher the better. They used to get under the covers with us until we got the dog. 70 lb dog paws hurt.
I wouldn't say they like water but they're not afraid of it.
Don't know about leashes either. I didn't want my wife & daughter letting them outside cause then they'd try to get out there with me. You ever see a guy in a wheelchair chase after a cat? Me neither.
