minus-squarecod@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up32arrow-down1·3 months agoBoth parts. Islay has both testicles and a uterus. We call her a she (since our other cat is a boy so it’s just easier if one is he and one is she), but technically she’s a they. Unfortunately it’ll be very expensive to get her fixed because of it.

minus-squarecod@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·3 months agoOh definitely, I will. She’s worth the much higher price.
minus-squareLycaon@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·3 months agoOhh interesting! So would her chromosomes be XXY?
minus-squarecod@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·3 months agoI’m not too sure! That’s a good question though. I’m curious now, I’ll have to ask the vet the next time I see her.
