urgent cat help

***Carrie*** · 11-02-2004, 01:42 PM

My daughter seems to have aquired a stray cat. Here's her email to me. I don't know what to tell her. I already tried to describe what the difference between the male and female looks like. Maybe some of you are better at this. She wants to avoid having to see a vet if possible. She's a little hysterical I think, by the sound of the email.

Dude, I think my cat is a fat hermaphrodite! I cannot tell what the he** it is...he/she...or if it is fat/pregnant....this is so confusing!

Yesterday, I was able to cradle he/her like a baby. I only had a few
seconds granted to me for an observation period. In that time I noticed a
scar that looked like what you described as a spaying scar. However, my
eyes traveled farther back and I noticed two bumps...I think they could be
"the jewels"...not sure though...then I ran my hand back up to look at
her/his teets...there is no change there. I try to feel IT'S stomach but
IT won't let me. It looks like there are two baseballs in her gut but it
really isn't that apparent....Oh God, I do not know what to think! And...!
Why the hell did I name IT Chloe!!! It will probably kick my a** if IT is
a male, and if it is a hermaphrodite then its name should be something
interchangeable between male/female's like Jesse, Jamie, or Kelly! Oh man,
oh man!

The vet will sex it for free! They may even give a free observation on the "baseballs" in the gut, too.

Oh my! I have no idea how to help, Carrie! That's so funny though!! LOL!

PitBullie09 · 11-02-2004, 02:55 PM

I dont either. All I can say is for her to take it to the vet and get it checked out. lol

Well I risked being scratched to death but I was able to look at my two cats. One is female and one is male and they are both fixed. My girl cat has a definite little vaginal slit right below her anus maybe 3 cm apart. My boy cat has two little lumps of fur near his anus where his *jewels* used to be and he is so furry I couldn't see his penis (not that I was trying to look!) LOL How embarrassing! Poor cats! so my guess is that your daughter has a boy cat? I don't know about the baseball looking things in it's stomach. My sister has a cat that is sort of fat and it has two big flabs of skin that hang down on the sides of it's stomach, maybe that is what your daughter sees?

***Carrie*** · 11-02-2004, 04:10 PM

Oh thanks guys. I passed your words of wisdom along. Yes, she is quite a character and gets rather alarmed easily. LOL.

***Carrie*** · 11-02-2004, 04:40 PM

Here's a thank you from my daughter, Emily:

Rofl !

GoldenRetriever07 · 11-03-2004, 01:51 PM

Lol, yeah i would of agreed to taking it to the vet to get checked for the what sex it was.

***Carrie*** · 11-03-2004, 03:08 PM

LOL...yup, that's my daughter. She really shouldn't be taking this cat on. But she'll love it, that's for sure. She takes after me and is a sucker for all kinds of animals. I'm sure she'll take it to the vet if she really needs to.

I love your picture of your dog.
