my10 month old male cat
"*~*SooZy*~*" wrote in message ... "sol_girl" wrote in message ... I have a 10month old male cat but it looks like a female with a pretty face and acts lke one he rolls on the ground is this normal? his genitals are not very prominant like a males Thanks! trip to the vet... get it neutered :-) A trip to the vet is in order, yes, but only for an assessment at this point. Some cats are born intersex, having both male and female anatomy to some degree. Or the cat may just have testicles on the small side. Only an exam be a vet can give you a definitive answer. If the cat is sterile, then there would be no point in having him neutered for purposes of population control. Bill

If the cat is sterile, then there would be no point in having him neutered for purposes of population control. Bill retained testicles is linked with a higher risk of cancer - removing them is best for the health of the cat. A sterile cat will still exhibit the unpleasant behaviors associated with hormones (spraying, etc). Neutering will be better for the health of the cat and the sanity of the owners - just do it!

sol_girl composed with style: I have a 10month old male cat but it looks like a female with a pretty face and acts lke one he rolls on the ground is this normal? his genitals are not very prominant like a males Thanks! Sounds like he was neutered young and never aquired one of the secondary sex characteristic of males cats -- the big jowls.
