Tilly is the snapper in our family! I have to watch her around my grand children when they get to close to me she jumps up to were Im at and is in the guard postion! and she will snap. sami he is the alpha male and 100% a mammas boy

he is very posessive If I baby and love on tilly he wont have it he wont snip but he makes an entrance by jumping right in the middle and run his paw across tillys nose and jump in my face and kiss me all over.
so I think snipping runs in both females and males, its just a personality thing
