Male cats are also more inclined to wandering due to feline mating habits. The males typically get kicked out of their birth family upon reaching maturity to prevent incest, whereas the females lead and organize the clan. So the males need to wander till they find a family to join as adults.
The exact mechanisms of how this works aren’t really relevant to a discussion about humans since we don’t really operate the same way, at least not universally.

Yes, but wandering involves low risk aversion. This could be caused by males being hardwired by prenatal testosterone.
I’m not saying it couldn’t, just pointing out the nurture side of the debate
Nurture cannot be involved since a mother cat takes care her male and female kittens equally.
