a girl.
I never did get a definite answer on gender. I couldn't tell so well, and my friend thought neutered male. Seriously, there's alot of hair down there. He's an all black long haired cat. Today, he started meowing loudly. He was in the bathroom where his litterbox and food are (small house). I had just fed him, and made sure he knew food was in there. He had eaten recently, so wasn't hungry. That progressed to loud meowing, almost yowling at the door (to outside). He also kept cleaning himself down there. He settled down when I brought him onto my bed. He was being very affectionate, but he always is.
So I've either got a sick cat (or one acting weird), or a female in heat. I have had him for 6 months, almost exactly. So it could be possible. He is and always will be an indoor cat, but I don't love the thought of a cat in heat. Especially my sweet little boy cat who never does anything obnoxious.
If he keeps it up another day, I'll bring him to the vet to have the tech check his gender. If he's male, I'll make an appointment to figure out what's going on.
