Can a cat be hermaphrodite

Answer 1

I believe our cat is a hermaphrodite. We have had her for 2 years she recently had kittens and now there are testicles where there weren't any before! I know it sounds weird but it's true. They are VERY noticeable I just think it so weird that they appeared after giving birth. If anyone has any information about this please write back. Thank you.An ex-GF gave me a kitten. At first female. As I was living by myself in my own house I didn't want to de-claw & was leaning to not fixing her. Of course I was dreading to see how bad the whole heat thing would be but it never happened.

After between 18mo-2yrs I also noticed testes where there hadn't been any prior (yes that does happen, who knew?). The vet told me that she (he/she) had both & that neither worked. So yea! no fixing required.

Hannah Cat is normal, playful (but really overly dramatic; guess that's what you get w/ a Himalayan/Siamese mix). She's never done the heat thing & I caught her "marking territory" once; by the front door.

Answer 2

The calico ( not fabric but animal here) cat or tortoiseshell is predominately a female color pattern, I know, I had one, Her name was Grace. I found her nestled under the fender of a Mack Truck- probably propped up there by a sick truck driver, the slightest move of the truck would have killed or gravely maimed the cat, well she had a nice home. What you are saying is possible. In some lower species- like Birds- Male and Female have totally different color patterns, the female cardinal is grey or in some cases brown but a beatiful bird- while the male is a Red Cardinal. could be.

Answer 3

He wouldn't technically be a man then would he? Can an individual appear male and have female genitals also? Yes. That is probably more common than the reverse. Most are under developed and probably not fertile in either sense.

Answer 4

Caterpillars are incapable of sexual reproduction, as they are the immature larval form of butterflies and moths. Their sex, however, is determined before birth, so they do have the immature form of sex organs present. It is possible that a very rare mutation could produce a hermaphroditic caterpillar.

Answer 5

Well, they can have either male genitalia or female genitalia. But they cannot have both.

Answer 6

Yes. I had a cat born this way.
