I have to say all boys as well, not hard to see them boy parts LOL.

As for keeping one, a male will be just fine with mom as long as he gets fixed at the right age, definitely by 6 months.

Some of the boys are a little more obvious. I had a white female rex that when born and up to getting first shots at 8 weeks old had "balls" - or what I thought looked like them. She was an only kitten and I had no other kitten to compare at the time!

Talk about being embarrased!

One of my friends Aby's was a singleton, c-section born and sexed by the vet and vet nurses as a boy.

As mum was being desexed my friend was hoping for a girl to continue the line so she asked them to check the sex a few times to be sure.

6 weeks later he became a girl

To top it off, my C. Rex friend has a breeding male calico! She just had a litter (is DNA testing to be sure of color) with a lavender cream van....thought was a girl. Another rex breeder looked at pictures and told her to go home and double check. We think she has another male calico. The grandfather is the male calico.

So now we (and another rex breeder judge) think that its genetic!

I can't wait to see this one. And hope she keeps him and shows him in the fall.

I see all lil boys!

I thought Monster was a girl when he was a baby. Now I know hes a boy, and I do have a girl, its not that hard to tell. With a girl, there is nothing there. With a boy, you can see bumps.

My friend adopted a cat from the pound years ago and she was told it was a female.
Years later the cat got very sick and had to be pts.
He turned out to be a male and he died from blockage.
I met him a few times but never touched him because he was scared of people.
So even the pound makes mistakes.

I have to say, this has been a very education thread for me!
I had the first one pegged as a girl, 2 I wasn't sure about and 3 & 4 I figured were boys. In another few weeks, we'll all know for certain but after looking again and comparing to other pictures I've found I'm thinking all boys is right.

I've actually found that mother/son pairs usually get along a bit better than mother/daughter pairs (sometimes girls can get a little rivalry with mom). If they're both altered, of course (otherwise they'd get along a little too well!). I don't think you'd have any issues with keeping a boy.
