Is this cat male or female?

This is one of our neighbours' cats. Is it a boy or a girl? What do you think?



I will ask them later tonight.

My guess is female looking at the picture.  Looks like a Himalayan she/he is pretty. 

But to really know for certain I'll need to see what it has under it's tail.

Ha ha, that's a useful guide.

The cats here won't be touched by humans, so it would be hard to look under its tail. You can come really close and they take food right from your hand but if you try to pet or take them they will hit and scratch you and hiss at you.

I never thought you could tell just by looking at one.

I think you can't indeed but I was told that some people are really good at it.

My guess? Pissed off about the fly screen...
I don't think cats really do gender...

This is more about what we do rather than what cats do I guess.

I'm going to guess male. It's larger and the broadness of its nose reminds me of male features. Curious what you find out!

And yeah, if you ever do get a glimpse of its underbutt, a female looks like an upside down exclamation point, and a male looks like a semicolon. Easy peasy. :)

We already have one vote for male and one for female. I'll ask them when I see them later today and will update the post.

Males have bigger head, but on your photo it´s difficult to see the cat in real proportions.

Let's think it's shemale.

That's cheating.

You want me to gamble?

OK. This is a male. The forehead looks wide.

Have I won? What is the prize?
