Do you think your kitties look like boys or girls?

I currently have 1 boy - Luvbug - and two girls - Kuce and Lil' Jag - and they can't be mistaken for the opposite gender. Even my RB cat Sphinx couldn't be mistaken for anything other than being all boy.

BooBoo there is no mistaking, he is all boy! Eek Ive always thought he looked like a boy, but have other people tell me different!

HoBo on the other hand, I would swear that that cats a female, even my DH said thats a female, I had to pick him up and show him his "bits n pieces" to get him to believe me! But it doesn't help he does the whole BRRRRTTT thing like a female in heat either! lol

My sister always calls Milo a girl and Zebra a boy but it is the other way around.
They act the opposite too. Milo is always grooming himself and his fur is always perfect and Zebra is always messy and smelly. Milo is the one who grooms her usually.

I think Milo looks like a boy and Zebra a girl!

Everyone always calls Smudgey a boy - she's black, fairly solid and has no grace whatsoever
She's all girl though!

Stumpy is fairly gender neutral. Some people call her a boy straight away, some call her a girl. She's fairly graceful, and (I think) has a pretty face.

Nobody has ever mistaken Lily for a boy. She has a pretty face, and is lean, graceful, and definitely looks feminine.

I put pink collars on our girls, but that still doesn't help

Where my cats are
Mooch gets mistaken for a boy a lot. Noodles is usually taken for a girl. They are kind of big, so I guess I can see why that might be. My Mom's cat Pumpkin gets mistaken for a girl because he's on the petite and delicate side too. Bunny and Olivia deffinately look like girls.

Quill gets mistaken for a girl by people, with all of that fluffy fur and his pretty face .... We just call him our "gay" cat

For some reason I grew up thinking all dogs were males and all cats were females.
What an odd notion, but it was one that I had a hard time shaking, even into adulthood. I continued this notion by having six male dogs in my life and eight female cats. But then I got Persi. Everytime I look at him with his long flowing hair, I just cannot conceive the fact that he is a male. Heck, I couldn't prove it anyway!

You know I think my boys look like boys & my girl like a girl; however, I think people use the pronoun that fits their idea of a cat. I'll explain. Until I got the boys I have now I had always had girl cats so every cat I saw I would think was a she. People with only boy cats may just say he without know it. Now I've got 3 boys, 1 girl. Most of the time I now ask, but once in a while I will just say he.

Maybe it's my imagination but boy cats walk different compare to the girls. To me males stride like "cheetahs" while girls are more like "lionesses". It's the shoulder thing.

Whenever anyone sees Butterfingers they think he's a little girl. I guess it's in his mannerisms. He acts very feminine too, and he is always making sure he is really clean. For a while even my mother thought he was a girl


Chico on the other hand is never mistaken for a girl. He just looks so manly. It's funny, always being a pig. My friends refer to him, not as Chico, but as "King Chubby"

You've never met my Levi. I think his face looks like a boy kitty, but he prances. I'm not kidding he prances and has the highest pitch meow.

out of all 9 of our kitties, Dusty is the only one who had a hard time, when my husband first rescued him, I thought it was a female, then I went to sedate her for her spay and realized she had some junk in her trunk-it's a boy!!! To this day he is still a gorgeous looking cat and looks a little on the girly side-i think it is the black around his eyes that make him look like he has eyeliner on. I need to get my signature updated so you can see how handsome he really is. I do think that they portray a certain air about them that lets you know what sex they are-as someone mentioned earlier-even the way they walk is different.

Of my cats, both girls, Marble looks and acts like a boy (thick looking, muscular, active) and Mia is all girl (petite). Of my mom's cats, Bobo (boy) gets mistaken for a girl (pure white coat with a cute pink button nose) and Itsy (girl) looks like a girl (smaller torbie).

Nemo ALWAYS gets mistaken for a girl. It's because he's so pretty though! The fluffy white coat and odd eyes are not very manly I suppose. He is also pretty petite which adds to his "girly" air. Even the vet techs commonly mistake him for a girl and they have known him since he was tiny! Trinity definately looks like a girl, but then again she is a calico. I think that Bentley and Mercury both look like boys but Mercury has been called a she once or twice too.

tabitha, although she is a little on the 'cuddly' side
she looks like a girl. she is always moaning at the kittens in a very high pitched girly voice too!

i would totally agree about the walking differently as far as milo is concerned. he definitely has that big cat swagger! he is far too petitie and dainty though and that quite often throws people!

shinobi also gets mistaken for a girl. with his big bat ears and small features he does look female. plus he is extremely vocal but has the campest meow ever!
