I too agree that Jazz is the most appropriate name. I had the same problem. We started suspecting something when our female cat started humping a towel. It was called Shashka (I'm from Ukraine) and we were stupefied as to how to rename him. He resolved our problem promptly by running away. F***er.

That's sad :c Mine ran away two months ago, but he returned after a few days...

O_____o
you tried to castrate a cat you thought was female?!

Because castration means the removal of testicles. To sterilise a female cat, you SPAY it. Says something! ;D

Because "castrate" = cutting their bollocks.
"Neutering" is the term you were looking for.
Anyway, you could have told he was a male by the whiskers ;)

anyways, silliness aside, just roll with Jaz / Jazz. Saves confusion, sounds good. :)

Call him Jazim, close enough with previous name..
Or call him... Jeff,, he's male and he is pink

My thoughts exactly. I'm surprised you're the first to suggest it here.

I think I've known two people who had this problem. For example, my brother's cat was named Oliver, and he changed it to Ollie when the vet told him it was a girl.
I think Jaz(z) or Jazmine would be best. Changing the name to Aladdin would be interesting though, haha.
Good luck finding a name :)

Just call him Cat. You know, after the character from Red Dwarf.

I use to have a cat named hoodini not because we didn't know she was a girl but because she kept disappearing and popping up behind us

Hahahaha, as a kid we've had a similar problem with our dog:
When we bought Lucky, it was a guy. The vet confirmed it was a guy, the breeder confirmed it was a guy.
A while later, she got her period... Awkward
Anyways, if he listens to the name, just keep it.
my uncle and aunt had a female cat called Tobias ( a male name) - confusing as hell, but in the end it's just a name

Even the vet I took my cat too thought my female cat was a male since it was too young to tell.

That's what happens when you assume someone's gender.
Also, I agree with Fame, Jazz sounds fine.

Yeah, what the title says. We received him from a friend almost a year ago, who told us it was a female kitten. We named her Jazmin (you could translate that to Yasmine, Jazmine, Yasmin, or something like that). Alright, two hours ago I took her to the vet to castrate her, and I just received a call from them, telling me that I should start looking for another name, because it was a male cat. So, yeah... I'm still pretty shocked. Anyways, should I still call him Jazmin or what? Any name suggestions?
