We Thought My Cat Was a Girl, but It's a Boy? What Should We Do?
Three years ago my mom got a cat for me for my birthday. We already had a female Siamese and a female Bengal cat, so we decided to get another female cat just because males sometimes fight females. We got a 0 Ragdoll kitten from a breeder. The breeder said she had 2 males and 2 females, we of course chose a female and picker her up. About a year after we got her she starts attacking our Siamese cat, it happens more and more often through the next 2 years. We decide that we need to give her to a different home until we realize maybe its because she is not fixed and our other cats are. We asked our vet and he said she is probably showing aggression due to being in heat. We decide to get her fixed and the vet calls us, we find out our 3 year old female Ragdoll, Sasha is a HE! He has been attacking our Siamese trying to mate with her. We now do not know what to do, we don’t know if the breeder only had male kittens left and wanted to just make money and of course we wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a male/female kitten or if the breeder accidentally picked up the wrong kitten to bring us. Do you think we should contact the breeder and ask for our money back or leave it alone? Male kittens were only 0, so we should at least get 0 back, shouldn’t we? We truly love the cat, but we are a little angry because if our other cats hadn’t been fixed, we would have kittens now and our Siamese has been attacked for 2 years because of this. What should we do? Please Help!
First of all, we didn’t notice the cat was a boy because Ragdolls are a very longhaired cat, also the mall parts are very small and not noticeable. Once we thought it could be balls and we contacted a different vet than the one we use now, the vet said some female Ragdolls have larger more noticeable "female parts". We have taken Sasha over the last 3 years to the vet, but since she/he was a purebreed Ragdoll and the vet only gave him shots there was never a reason for the vet to look down there, and like I said they were hidden by overgrown fur. We hadn’t fixed Sasha because of her being a purebreed 0 cat, we thought we might breed her at some point. Thus, we had to get him fixed because of him attacking our female Siamese. We truly love Sasha and money isn’t a big deal to us, we just wanted opinions. Thank all of you for your help.
