I'm pretty sure Athena is now Zeus

So....Athena is my sisters 3 month old 'female' kitten,

But down there...
She looks VERY male like.
Unspayed/neutered.

What do I do?! She was supposed to be a girl!
My sister will cry if I tell her, she wanted a girl cat.
Could I be mistaken?
I have a female kitten and both of there....um, parts look very diffrent.

Take it to a Vet who would be able to sex both for you and have them both vaccinated & spayed/neutered at the same time.

We have to do it soon, we will. We will know for sure then

How old is your sister? Does she need to know? A neutered male cat will not look that much different.

I can't say. She is under 14. She doesn't need to know, but what if the vet tells us while she is there?

Then she's have to deal with truth. It's the individual cat, not it's sex, that's appealing.

Just tell her you think it might be a boy, so she has time to get used to the idea. She can still call it whatever she wants, the cat won't care. Then get those kittens into the vet asap, before you have more surprises. BEFORE they are 6mos old.

Yeah.
I will get them before 6mos. We Currentally have problems with our adult cats, and we are trying to get them to the vet ASAP.

Here's an easy way to tell. Hold the kitten with your hand under its belly and its rear facing you. Lift up its tail. The private parts of a female look like an upside down exclamation point. The male looks like a colon, two dots, one above the other. As long as you get them spayed/neutered the sex of the kitten shouldn't matter. However, I have had any number of breeders tell me that males are more affectionate than females.

 

[Cluckcluck1215]

Oh, went to the vet, def a male, got him fixed.
Anyway, he is way more affection then my female.
