Is my boy cat really a girl??
When I got my kittens the lady I got them from told me Betty was a girl and Boo was a boy. She didn't seem too sure about it but I figure if she was wrong the vet would correct me. When I took them to the vet she didn't say otherwise and told me to look out for when Boos testicals came then I would know it was time to get them snipped. She told me this would happen in Feb when they would be 6 months. Now its the end of Feb and still no testicals with no signs of them arriving. I've been looking at they're bits and they both look the same to me. I've even looked up pictures of cat bits online to compare and the differences were so small I really can't see a difference. I there any way to find out if Boo really is infact a girl? I don't want to go to the vet to ask in case I look stupid, shes already seen them twice, is there any chance she could have made a mistake in telling me that he was a boy?
Re: Is my boy cat really a girl??
That's odd. I can tell if a cat is a boy or girl within an hour of them being born.
Take a picture of your cats ass and send it to me. Not to be pervy, but I'm sure I can tell.
For one.. does it have a vagina?

Re: Is my boy cat really a girl??
Well, sorry to be a bit graphic but when I looked at the pics online the vagina and the bit were the penis goes looks the same to me. In my eyes Bettys and Boos bits just look the same. I'll take a pic later today and show u them, (on pm if thats ok, not sure if the whole worlds ready to see my gender confused cats bits yet.)

If you poke him in the balls with a toothpick does he jump...or like it?
Re: Is my boy cat really a girl??
Thats the thing, there are no balls, absolutley nothing. If he was a boy wouldn't there be a little something by now? I've had boy cats before so I know what cat balls look like and there's definatley none.
Re: Is my boy cat really a girl??
Every cat I've had was born with a little nutfuzz in the back, you could tell within seconds if your bundle was a tom or a betty. I bet BooBoo has a Woohoo.

I've been trying to think of things I can bring to the hospital with me that'll make me laugh during labor and I think I'm going to have to print this page out lol
Re: Is my boy cat really a girl??
Hahahaha. This is the funniest thread! I've had two pets (one cat, one hamster) that were supposed to be girls and turned out to be boys. Apparently, I can't tell.

Sorry about that, I did warn ya!
Re: Is my boy cat really a girl??
Its hard to tell because the pics are showing up fuzzy on my laptop, but it looks like Boo is a girl.
If he IS a boy...he could be cryptorchid..meaning the testicles arent descending and the vet will have to go inside to neuter him.

2nd this the fuzzy pics is a little hard to tell please move the camera back a couple of inches. Hold the tail straight up and get her bum just a little above the center and we should be able to tell better.

Re: Is my boy cat really a girl??
They're fuzzy photos but it looks like a girl to me.
Re: Is my boy cat really a girl??
I think Cam said it perfectly. Hard to be conclusive but I lean towards Boo's a she as well.
And s/he does have such a pretty face!
Re: Is my boy cat really a girl??
A tomcat's balls a pretty obvious. It's a lot harder to see his penis, because it is small and usually drawn up inside his body. You would usually only see it if he had an erection. It is possible to press on him and make it come out, but this is uncomfortable for the cat, so you should only do it if you have to apply medication.
I think Boo is a girl, but there is the remote possibility of undescended testicles.
As spring approaches, if she goes into heat, you will know.
Aren't you going to have your kitties neutered? When you take them in for that, ask the vet.
Re: Is my boy cat really a girl??
Yes. ask the vet for a written estimate on fixing them. You will see OVH(ovariohysterectomy) on the estimate if Boo is a female. Then you can ask, without asking.

No issue about it for me ... The above picture is of a female cat.
I don't doubt what I see as I'm around a LOT of cats .. I spent A LOT of time recently with a LOT of kittens.. and it was pissy easy to tell males from females...
and that picture is of a female cat's bum.
is it weird that i had absolutely no adverse reaction and readily looked? damn me being raised with cats all my life.. i have no shame anymore.. i'll readily watch them eat, shit, wash themselves, etc. lol!
Re: Is my boy cat really a girl??
Thanks guys. It seems a pretty unanimous decision that my Boo is a girl. Will try and take some more bum pics today. It turns out Boos a bit shy and doesn't really like having his privates photographed. I incurred quite a painful sratch while taking those ones but I'm gonna have to get he oven mits on and try again just to make sure. I don't really want to take them back to the same vet again, I'm not sure I trust a vet that can't tell a girl cat from a boy.
My poor wee gender confused kitty, I just can't look at him in the same light now it turns out he might be a girl.
Re: Is my boy cat really a girl??
You wouldn't be the first to do that.. I had a friend once who's cat was thought to be a girl for the first year or so.. then was discovered it was a boy.. and thus they re-named it from it's original name (now something i've forgotten) to Eddie.
As for the vet.. was it a 'rushed' examination? Was the vet ACTUALLY looking for its gender? Sometimes vets due to their work load will only really concentrate on what needs to be concentrated upon at that point in time.
At the same time, I agree, a vet should know a boy cat from a girl cat ultimately.
As for a picture.. the easy way is to "arouse" the cat. Most cats are "aroused" and will readily put their tail and bum up in the air when scratched near the tail (at the end of their spine).
