She's a boy isn't she...... (pic of kitten's bits)

[EleanorAbernathy]

Kitten is 13 weeks old, when I got her she was a girl, called Betsy - we've since changed her name to Tikka, but never actually really checked despite ginger girls not being as common

She's also been to the vets quite a few times, but not sure if they check as standard or not? Anyway, I think she might be growing balls. Any experts on cats' bits around to take a look?

Be thankful if they're small. Given his problems and size, he may be a slightly later developer than he would otherwise have been so a slight delay in neutering shouldn't (that's a 'shouldn't' ) mean too much spraying and Tommish behaviour.

Aw this is my male neutered ginger cat he is so snuggly and no problem at all (his fav way to sleep is over my leg like in the picture). I recently rescued him where they neutered him so not sure what he was like before but he is bloody lovely now!

Awww Foody he looks like a big version of my little one, and just as soft! One of the girl cats has obliged and let me look at her bits, as had 11 year old boy - and Tikka looks more like him than her.

My ginger girl, Isabella. She has ambiguous bumpy bits but is definitely a girl. I kept her kittens

She's lovely 6cats!
OK, have a much better photo of Tikka's bits now (scuse the grubby bum, dirty kitten needs a wash!)

A boy.

He's trying to be more manly now, Izzy's kitten has made him paranoid about having a little ball sack!

At that age, you can suddenly turn round and they've become cats.

We thought one of ours was a boy but she just had a hairy fanjo with big clumps of fur where the testicles would be!

Wah! Tiny Tikka weight lifting! Honestly Eleanor nuts or no nuts that is a cute kitten!

I rescued a kitten several months ago. My heart sank when I found out it was a boy. But he is the most cuddly, gorgeous, snuggly cat I've ever had. I have to confess that I rather liked his fuzzy pom poms. They were quite big! But we've had him neutered, obviously so they've shrunk. He is my little goof boy- Mr Frankie Knuckles . Here he is scaring the shit out of me in the night!

Heck. That look would scare me at any time of day!

I know! Although, to be fair to Mr Knuckles, I was primed and ready for that photo. After months of being subjected to kitty breathe, chewing my hair, having pudding made on me and being treated like a chaise longue .

I will try and get a picture of my kittens face.. His name's Clawed, he's currently snuggled up with his mum and sisters and you can't tell where one cat and another begins!

Just to clarify that's not a recent picture, they were about 3 weeks old and I didn't mean to publish it. Just attached it and forgot to delete it.

Mr Knuckles looks pissed off

Oh! Kittens in a basket!

Mr Knuckles was pissed off because I wasn't paying him the appropriate attention. I grabbed my phone and took a pic instead of lying still and allowing him to drape over me. Goof. I'll try and find a photo of him looking normal....

There isn't one. He is an arse. This is what you have to look forward to Eleanor .

Oh he's a handsome chap, really.

Ah he's lovely Heman - he looks like he's expecting someone to bow down before his greatness in that last one!

I chose Tikka from a litter of four, as they said "she" was the cuddliest, and we had a bit of a connection. They weren't wrong .

He keeps waking me up in the night by purring and licking the end of my nose

Here's a snuggle photo - he was all nestled in my armpit!

He looks as if he's dreaming with his eyes open.

He had a boy face though.

Girl cats are daintier. Also they don't grow testicles.

He was called BETSY though!

Aw Eleanor! He looks so contented there. Bless him .

I'll tell you what, it's a good job Mr Knuckles is a handsome dude and adores ME otherwise I'm not sure I could tolerate his daftiness .

Update a month later - there is NO doubt about it now!
He now has a nice manly black collar as we still sometimes slip up and say "she"

Our vets don't do the snip until they're 6 months, but Tikka's is already paid for.

I was amazed how big Ernie's balls grew in the last month..
