I’m thinking ‘trans cat’? Or should this be in The Doghouse board? [confused] Either way, I feel like there’s no escape from this madness.

Mine identifies as my mad stalking boyfriend.

With scent training the males have different noses to females I think, so it's not as daft as it seems for them to ask.

But surely that's to do with sex not gender? How can any pet have a 'gender' identity!??

But they asked for gender.
What sort of scent you wear might be related to 'gender', nothing to do with what you can smell.

I know you were joking about your dog being a “trans cat” but I did actually have a puppy whose mother abandoned the whole litter and he was the only puppy to survive. So we fostered him and he was raised by or cat. He played like a cat (with the cat), he pounced on toys like a cat, he didnt bark but “rumbles” like he’s trying to purr and when he is vocal his yips are mimicking cat loud meows for food, washed himself like he was a cat.

Awwwthays adorable

I have been trying to sort out insurance for my two new kittens - about half of the sites I have got quotes from have asked my pets 'gender' neither of the small monsters have stated their preferred pronouns if I was asked to guess I would go for greedy/bastard and small/mighty.
Sadly despite asking for the gender of animals they have all only given two options - male or female which shows a ignorance of the 70+ genders out there and of cat culture which demands a minimum of grand high poobah rising to supreme majisty.

Surely you say non-binary, and leave them to puzzle out how the dog let you know?

Mine identifies as a tiny, but very bossy dictator

My cat is debating whether the most appropriate pronoun is 'His Majesty' or 'His Imperial Majesty'. He will issue a decree in due course.

Sire/My Liege, surely?

Crispynoodle · 06/10/2023 23:09

This is mine insists she's a cat even dresses the part. Still begs for food off my plate though

Please put non binary

I feel like twat and knob/jock could be friends if the latter learnt how to apply the brakes!

Thanks @SirChenjins she is when she's not twatting around! We do agility but I'd love to do scentwork or mantrailing with her. I'd significantly roll my eyes about what gender she is though. Wtf is that Q about ffs??? I thought dog people were pretty sensible!!

Show quote history

I’ve done mantrailing with him - up a hillside in Scotland in sleet and snow. He found the bloke no problem. He’s a star, is ChenDog. Your pup would love it, I’m sure.

I know , I thought that too ☹️

they should be asking the dog what its pronouns are and not just going by your outdated and biologically essentialist assumptions

pronouns: saus/ages

🤣🤣

Toomuchtea · 06/10/2023 21:04

That is a gorgeous dog.

I'd say I'll let them know the pronouns once Teadog has let me know.
