Personally, I'd get a female. Seems like less problems.

There are some varied views on the best food choices in this thread. It sounds like we're heading down the male route (originally for personality reasons- I was unaware that they may have more health issues), so it will be important to make sure we make the right decisions with the food. It sounds like a mixture of wet and dry is a good way to go for a while?
The breeder will have had the cat for the first few months of its existence so I imagine she will have some insights on this as well.
