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.
