oops...Gender Swap!

Well, today I learned some thing interesting. "Bob" will need a name change. When I picked the kitten up I was told that it was a male. And, since I don't normally go around checking out the genitalia of my pets, I took them at their word. However, I looked at my cat's Pet Passport and it listed my cat as a female. Before I continue, I know that many of you are thinking "Pet Passport?". Yes, every pet in the U.A.E. must have a pet passport. This passport lists their shots, and their microchip number. It is illegal to own a pet without the proper documentation.


So, when this document stated that my cat was a female and I was under the impression it was male, we had a problem. Since my cat was still under 6 months old, obvious male features are not always evident. Thank goodness for the Internet. I researched what I needed to be looking for (I know this sounds really strange) and I came to the conclusion that "Bob" will need a more feminine name. The He is a She. Anyone have a better idea of a girl name for my kittie?
I knew she looked like a wild cat--here is a picture of a Lynx.

  1. After alot of thought--I had to rehome Maizy. :-( I didn't want to kennel her for the summer break and find out at the last minute I couldn't come back to the U.A.E. I was afraid she would be put down. Oh a happier note, I found a great home with a young family with children. She will be in kitty heaven with plenty of time to play.
