Male or female cat

You can tell whether a cat is male or female by looking at their genitals. The colour of the cat’s coat might also give you a clue, as some coat colours reveal sex-linked traits that are passed on solely among members of one gender.

A male cat is referred to as a tomcat.

After roughly eight weeks, you can determine the sex of a kitten by taking a closer look at the shape and spacing of their anus and genitals. In both male and female kittens, the anus is the first small round opening directly below the tail. After that, you’ll either see a slit-shaped opening below the anus (female cat) or a round-shaped hole a little bit further down, with the scrotum in between (male cat).lb und die Genitalien unterhalb von Anus und Hodensack bei Katern.

You’re only going to be able to tell whether a cat is male or female after around eight weeks. Before that, the kitten’s sexual organs will still be so small that it will be difficult to come to any reliable conclusion.

The factors that determine when a male cat’s testicles move into the scrotum and become visible depend on the breed of cat and the state of their health. In many breeds, the testicles become visible after about a month; in others, it takes a little longer. In some cases, you won’t be able to see the testicles, but you’ll be able to feel them.

Since cats are mammals, both male and female cats have an average of six to eight teats on the lower side of their bellies. It makes no difference whether the cat is male or female. Male cats from the same litter may even have more teats than their sisters, even though their teats will never be used!

Not all “red” (orange-coloured) cats are male, but the majority are. It all depends on the coat colour of the cat’s mother, not of the cat’s father. Red cats will be male if their mother, the female cat, had the red coat colour and passed it on to her offspring via a dominant X chromosome.

Almost all tricolour cats – that is, cats with three colours of fur – are female. Why is that? It’s actually the result of something called “epigenetic inheritance”: female cats have two X chromosomes, each of which can carry a gene for coat colour. If a cat’s parents have different fur colours, these colours will meet and form the spotted fur colours of so-called “lucky cats” on the bodies of their offspring.e bilden sie die gescheckte Fellfarben der „Glückskatzen“.

You won’t find the cat that’s right for you just by choosing a specific gender! Take your time with every cat that’s in the running and see if their behaviour fits your own character and lifestyle. First get to know the cat, and then make your choice.  As soon as you find the one that fits your personality, that will be the right one for you!

Every litter will have rambunctious kittens as well as more reserved ones. When a male or female cat is still young, it’s difficult to predict what temperament they’ll have in adulthood. Both male and female cats can be very affectionate, but they might also truly enjoy their own freedom and independence.

There’s no black-and-white answer to this question. In fact, both male and female cats can be very cuddly. Still, there will always be cats of both genders that only come to cuddle every now and then. In other words, the character of our feline friends is much more likely to be determined by genes, age, socialisation and past experience than gender.

If the male and female kittens come from the same litter, things will probably go well at first. As the two get older, however, the differences between them will be become apparent. The male cat’s physique will be stronger, and this will become noticeable when playing and eating – often to the detriment of the female cat.

Male cats are physically superior and will assert themselves more forcefully. In addition, don’t forget that cats are very fertile! It’s possible for an unneutered female cat to have up to three litters a year. So, if you’re going to have male and female cats living together in your home, please be sure to have them neutered!

If you’ve decided to add another cat to your home, you should first make sure that the new cat’s personality matches that of the cat that’s already living there. They should be similar in terms of age, gender and preferences. At the beginning, it might be wise to separate the animals spatially and very slowly allow them to become accustomed to one another, always with the utmost in sensitivity.

There are many possible reasons why your female cat might be attacking your male cat. Whereas male cats enjoy frolicking and scuffling around among their own kind, female cats prefer to avoid skirmishes. If females find themselves in such situations, they’ll feel cornered and want to defend themselves. When that happens, it’s possible they’ll attack their male counterpart!

If your female cat attacks your male cat, you should remain calm, take firm action and don’t let your cat’s aggression make you aggressive too! If you do, you’ll only be passing on this type of behaviour to your animals. Separate the cats having the fight from one another; pay positive attention to the cat that’s been attacked; and let the aggressor cat know that this kind of behaviour is not okay.

If you’ve decided to get a second cat, it’s important to consider the gender. How about two tomcats? Sure, just make sure they’re both neutered! Otherwise you might have some problems, because when two male cats are asked to share a limited territory, sparks will fly! If the chemistry is right between two female cats, they will get along very well. No matter whether you’re getting a second male or female cat, there’s one thing you should always avoid: jealousy!
