Is My Queen Actually A Tom Cat?

Exactly what happened with Charlie. The woman who found him thought he was a she and named "her" Annie. I called "her" Mabel, but luckily I had scheduled the vet appointment for the next day.
The vet and I had a good laugh about it.
It's happened to MOST of us, at LEAST once. This is kitten season, and there will be several posts asking about the sex of various kittens. We all sit around our computers, closely examining kitten fannies, and debating the possibilities. Thank GOODNESS there are only two! And we had one kitten who kept the vet guessing for 5 weeks. It isn't always easy for even the experts to tell!
kittens mom
had the opposite problem. Her 'Tabbinese Tigers' are named Frog and Toad, and then she discovered they are girls. They kept their names, too. She has wonderful pictures of her girls scattered throughout the site.
It was quite the ride. My vet is a cat expert and she was exasperated and embarrassed at the revolving door sex of my babies. At this point I can't remember who was girl or a boy at the last rotation. I expected a call from the clinic on spay day saying we had one that would need a neuter.
Of all the diagrams, pictures and verbal descriptions this is the most definitive for telling the sex.

That was excellent. I bookmarked it for future reference, should it be needed.

Wow, they actually cut him open before they found out?
Yup, your queen is a KING, ha ha!
At least you found out the easy way. My friend, a long time ago, had a cat that she swore was a boy. Well, he started gaining weight over a few weeks and at first, my friend thought Tigger was just eating everyone else's food. Then the nipples popped out and the belly dropped and it was quite obvious what 'team' Tigger was on!
He... I mean, she... had 5 kittens, then got spayed at the first moment!
I don't remember my very first cat, I was only three, but "her" name was Squeaky Mae. One day, she got out, and Mom spent over an hour chasing her so there wouldn't be any accidents. The next day, she headed to the vet and was dropped off for spaying. An hour later, the vet called and said, "Jackie, the necessary surgery was done, but Squeaky Mae is actually Squeaky John."
