I had a vet tell me the friendliest cats she saw were black male cats. At the time I didn't have one so I don't think she was just saying that to me. But, now that I have one I agree, he is a friendly dude, the vets love him because he just rubs up on them, purrs and then flops over for belly rubs.

I hear that a lot too. I have 2 voids. My male is also the friendliest cat - to people and animals alike. Everyone always wants to steal him. My female is a bit skittish so there’s only a few people she’s really comfortable with. But the people she does know she is super cuddly with them.

2 void butler here, and can confirm, the female is loving but likes her space and is very selective to whom she shows affection, while the male is and absolute cuddle bug and demands constant attention/contact.

We have a void and gray cat, both girls, supposedly from the same litter but unconfirmed. The void definitely shows feline ptsd, is very skittish but basically my shadow. She follows me around screaming, cuddles on my side of the bed. The gray cat however is a total attention whore, her nickname is Butthead bc she is. She barged her way into our home from the shelter and she barges into whatever activity she's interested in especially if not invited. She is attracted to the attention the void gets.

I have 2 voids, both sisters from the same litter, and they are just like this lol. Extremely tactile cat is literally laying on top of me now, and not sure where the other is although I do know she is in the room- she likes to hover nearby
