Ok I know it's weird. But my female cat (and yes I'm 100% sure she's a girl) has a pink/red pointy thing that comes out of her vagina everytime she cleans herself. I've done a tiny bit of research on the internet but have come up empty handed. I figured y'all would know more specifically what it could be. I've read everything from a clitoris to a hermaphrodite. I've also read it happens to a lot of people's female cats.
She does have a vet appointment here next month and I'll ask the vet then. If no one knows I'll post up the answer to help others:) thank you all!

This is new to me.  I actually have no idea.  Perhaps another member knows.

Is she your Avatar?  If so, she's really cute, love her ears and that pose is precious.  It looks like she's running a board meeting. LOL

Keep us posted, I'm curious.

Yes that's her! She's my little kangaroo kitty:) I found her outside my house when she was only a few weeks old. Her front legs are bent in but she acts like a normal kitty. She's about a year and a half now.

Your kitty is very pretty :)

I have never encountered this before in a female cat. I've had many cats and the only time I saw anything that appeared to be pointy on a cat's genitals was when I discovered that a kitten that I believed to be a female was actually a male. Keep in mind that sometimes it is hard to tell, especially if a cat is very hairy down there. Even in male cats the penis will often only be visible occasionally during grooming, etc. It's not as obvious as it is with dogs. It will occasionally happen that even a vet may be mistaken and discovers that a she is actually a he during a spay procedure. If your cat definitely has a vulva and you are seeing a pointy thing that comes out of a foreskin I think it is likely that your cat is a hermaphrodite.
