Cats Photo Quiz: Boy Cat or Girl Cat?
Wednesday July 5, 2006
Do you think you can tell the sex of a cat at first glance? It may not be as easy as you think. Even gender-based color patterns are not always a solid clue. Names may not be a giveaway either.(I once had a female cat named Arthur [long story]), although I've never seen a male cat named Betty. Many of the cats pictured here have already appeared in picture galleries on this site. Links to those pages will be included with the answer sheet.
You can choose your own "difficulty level" by selecting the number of questions you want to answer. Then, when you've finished, you can return and take the quiz again. The pictures are scrambled each time, so each time you take the test they'll be in a different order. Study the picture, then select your best guess. This is a javascript-based quiz, so be sure your browser supports javascript.
Let's have some fun with this Boy - Girl cat quiz. For starters, do you think the cat pictured here is a boy or a girl cat? Photo © Jan Kama

Sometimes it is difficult, but I am a cat expert, and can tell the sex just by looking at a photo. Just test me!!

Sorry, Roxanne, but you’re wrong. (Click on the blue title link to take the rest of the test.)
I don’t seem to be able to tell by looking (or by not looking!) I have two male cats, and one of them (a white with black spots ASH named Domino) has a distinctly petite, feminine look. Most people think he is a girl cat at first glance.
My burly male Siamese looks all-male. But his name is Buffy! When I adopted him, he was 8 years old, and I didn’t change his name. I don’t know why he was called Buffy – I’ve just assumed that when he was first born, perhaps someone was mistaken and didn’t find out until it was too late.
13 out of 20…. Many cats have color related to sex…. in any case there are always exeptions… I care for lots of strays in an island so i know more less what are they…. nice test !
I don’t know if i have a boy cat or girl cat
girl
when i first got my cat i thought she/he waz a girl,but now i am starting to think she is a he ihave had a lot of cats but i can’t tell,i need to find out fast, i don’t want to wait untill if it is a he to start spraying and marking his place.
boy.
i can tell that its a girl because of the stare in its eyes because my cat (wich is girl) looks at me in this way and my male cats eyes arent even that color so thats how i could tell this cat is a girl!!!!!
I
i have 18 cats… i know cats in over 98% of the cases at first glance… i fell they’re my kids
