Another newbie wins! Where are the Top Cats? Congratulations! You are today's winner of 2821 points!

Besides showing you how to tell the difference between a male and a female (in graphic detail), today's question showed you that answers can be found somewhere on The Cat Site or a link provided by The Cat Site that pertains to the subject.
That was the other thing that changed in the rules.

There you will find a sticky Important Kitten Care links. The one that is appropriate is
