Congratulations on your new little boy! At least the neutering will be cheaper!

Reminds me of when I trapped my Felix, who was feral at the time. I assumed he was a pregnant female, as he was so robust looking (had been stealing lots of food in the neighborhood.) He wouldn't let me see while in the trap so I just took him to the vets and said to "fix" whatever needed fixing. A few hours later, the vet tech called and said, "It's a BOY!"
Ophie is a very cute name for an adorable little cat-boy!

Yep.
You've got yourself a Simon, Steven or Sam! I bet the other side of him is pretty cute too
Any chance of some pictures of his other end so I can coo over how cute he is?
I've never had a female cat tbh but both my cats have had VERY obvious boy parts from quite young, Sonic especially so given that his coat is so short so there's no fur hiding anything iykwim

With the newer pictures you have a BOY (the rounded hole is the penis part - a female will have more of a slit - like an upside down exclamation point). At this age, its easy to change the name to a boy one.....
Think of it this way - its cheaper to neuter, and IMO the boys are more outgoing and friendly

I have one male and two female cats and I agree with the others what you have there is a little boy.
Is that him on the right in your signature?

When I was about 8 years old, we got a little orange kitten. I was obsessed with the movie Annie, and we were told the kitten was female, so "her" name became Annie. The vet corrected us, so he became Andy.
When I first found Spot, I hadn't a clue as to whether he was male or female, and he was an adult! I just don't spend much time staring at their nether regions, I guess.

Definitely a male!
He is old enough to be neutered- so definitely make an appointment asap
Been there done that. Ariel was originally named Niles. It wasn't until my two neutered males started getting "frisky" with "him" and "he" was acting like "he" was in heat...
So I looked a little closer and sure enough he was a she...LOL

And don't feel too bad - I've mis-sexed a cornish rex. It was the only kitten (so no comparison) and all white too. IMO the kitten looked like a boy when born up till the time for his first shots. The vet asked me if I was SURE I had a boy - cause the kitten he was holding was a female..........talk about being embarrased! But I swear the little girl had "balls".....
Now you'll have a story to tell his grandchildren!!

And as soon as he calms down a little, I'll try to snap some photos...right now he's in attack mode!!!
What a cutie!
I had a boy kitten who turned out to be a girl, so don't feel bad, lol. Its easy to make that mistake!

Too bad God didn't "mark" cats like he did dogs - then we wouldn't have so much trouble telling them apart
Our first cat, Yoshi (a black and white longhair) was originally thought to be a female, but when we got "her" spayed, we were told that "she" was actually a male. At least the name Yoshi works for both males and females, lol

I shouldn't be laughing so hard, but I can't help it.
There seem to be so many confused boy/girl cats out there, I love it!! Little sweethearts...
