Turns out that IBK(formallyknownas)Fergus is actually a her.

IBKFergie gets my vote

Jazz used to be Jasmine, until we discovered his little bits. I'm sure he
wouldn't have minded Jasmine either, heh.

Turns out that IBK(formallyknownas)Fergus is actually a her. The, err, boy
bits turned out to be a strange optical illusion from the very faint tabby
pattern within her fur. They didn't look quite so, err, boy-like today,
and
when I confrimed their presence - or in this case, absence - with my
finger,
I revealed not black fuzzy marbles but an exclamation point.

But of course, now she *answers* to "Fergus" - or at least, answers as
much
as any cat ever does to their name. It will still take a bit of work to
remember to refer to the small mostly black whirlwind of doom as "she",
but
I"ll guess we'll get the hang of it eventually.

So, the score has evened up. 3 boys and 3 girls.. Excellent.

That does it. This has been all too common lately. If I ever get a new
cat, I will not name 'it' before 'it' has been to TED and had 'its' sex
determined by a professional.

But I *did* do that with Oscar! The professional said she was "probably" a
boy! (She was eight weeks old at the time.)

So, uh, good luck with that.

Yep, that happened with a friend from my office, too. She had two kitties,
Lucy & Ethel. They were checked and got their first shots from the vet.
When they went back for the next round a few weeks later, they had to change
their names to Ricky & Fred.

Maybe she will answer to Fergie. Like the princess.

Marina, are you forgetting about Pam's QC at a quite older age than these
kids? *grin*

Yes, I realise I'm not safe anyway. Even the 'experts' make mistakes.
Hehehe. That was pretty amazing.
