Yeah, who knows? I always assume all animals are boys until I learn
otherwise. Habit.

I think she said this because the kitty was a tortie, which are almost
always girls. But, Vino being in the condition he's in, it probably doesn't
matter what sex the interloper is, anyway. :)

I don't know. In spite of being altered, all our male cats have been very
male in their behavior, and all the girls have been very ladylike. Even
when they were being brats. And the boys seem to let the girls get away
with stuff they would beat another boycat up for.
