Hi there...are you indicating that your cat is a hermaphrodite?
It does happen, but it's quite rare to see hermaphroditism.
Here are a couple web articles on this: http://www.messybeast.com/mosaicism2.htm#hermaphrodite

yuppers!!! LMAO!! when I was young my Mom found this kitten & we dedided to keep the lil "girl" LOL we took "her" to the vet to hv "her" shots & be spayed, we had taken the kitten to the vet as Ashley....when examing the kitten I had ask my Mom if it was a boy cuz I thought there might be lil bunkies under his tail but my Mom upon further investigation tugged at the lil mass & stated no that was just a lil matt of fur & tugged it a bit more to prove her point....needless to say we got a call to say the "Ashley" was an "Asher" and tht they would hv to neuter the lil guy instead of spaying "her"....we changed "her" name to Mr Smithers AKA Smitty & he lived a happy long life w us untill the ripe old age of 13, but even untill his last days I think he was gender confused as he always seemes to hang out w other male cats!!! LOL LOL

No, that's amazing! I've never heard of that in cats. Then again it can happen in humans, and it's quite common in kangaroos apparently, so why not cats.

Nope, both of my cats are officially girls, but it is too cool that your cat is a hermaphrodite! :) I'm excited for you.

How can he also be a she if he is a he? That doesn't make sense. No, I have never had this happen before.

wow! I'm sure your cat should be documented by someone - no offense, but he/she is a rare one!

Yes but in reverse - the other day I found at my girlfriend is really a man called Warren and I am really a girl called Susan. It was quite disturbing but how we both laughed!
