Hi,
I have two nearly 10mo old kittens, neither have been fixed yet. (Planning on it within the next two weeks AS SOON AS I can get an appointment!!) As far as I know, they're sisters, and one of them has already had her first few heats, which is a lot of fun, as you could imagine, however the other has not, and like I said, they're nearly 10 months old.
My mom suggested that that one could be a boy, but I've ...looked for evidence backing that statement and came up negative as far as I know. She's pretty fuzzy, and it's hard to tell, but I'm almost sure that testicles would definitely be visible at this age. And even if she was a male, I'm sure that I would have had spraying by now and a LOT more interest in his/her sister.
What are the possibilities of her being just a late bloomer? Should I be concerned about her health? I have difficulty getting vet appointments as is (hence the delay in spaying) so I'm just looking for advice from fellow people who may have had this dilemma before.
Thanks!
