Hmmm. Just took a better look under the kitten's tail. I MIGHT have to pick a new name

I'm second guessing myself so if the vet says this is a female I'm leaning towards Siân, pronounced 'shaarn'. Not that it matters since he/she will get a new name from her future family.

Anyway, I'll know, for sure, tomorrow.

Between the angry anuses (plural sp?) and the gendering new kits you are spending a lot of time under the tails.

When we went to get "him" neutered that's when we found out she was a girl. It was too late, she already had the name Taz. As a kitten it fit her well. She was a whirlwind of fangs and claws. She chased off all the other cats and then made a bee-line to our dog's food bowl. Our dog showed her the "tooth of doom". She ignored it and kept eating anyway, so he ate with her out of the same bowl and the same time. Her full name became Miss Taz the Puppycat. If she were still with us she'd be almost 21 years old. Good luck with little Siân!
