Vets Bills And Gender Confusion Posted: 09-15-07 08:09am
Ok, so I got a new kitty a couple weeks
ago, 8 weeks old, male, black and white.
Very shy and nervous, but so so cute. I
made the vets appointment for vaccinations
and healthcheck and I've been getting
kitty used to the house and me, playing,
cuddling etc. And I decided to call him
Whisky.
I took Whisky to the vets today, and it
was all going fine, and the vet was
checking him over etc and, after checking
his bits, he said to me 'is it definitely
a boy?'. I said yeh, cuz thats what the
woman at the shelter had told us and she
would've known. He went and got the nurse
for a second opinion and she agreed...my
cat is now a girl!
I still can't quite get my head around it,
because I've grown used to saying 'good
boy' lol.

lol i dont think its commom
but it happened
and the first thing i thought was maybe
paris was nuetered before so he looked
like a she... but we got "him/her" as a
kitten at 7 weeks so we never nuetered him
lol

They can have both genders? Wow, how odd.
No, she wasn't neutered/spayed or anything
as it's too early to do that right now.
Haha, she's so hyper, she's running around
crazily at this moment lol

more than one (two even three or four)
male cat can get female cat pregnant
their reproduction system isnt like
humans
this can happen in cats,lizards and some
snakes
