Hi all

I took the kittens to the vet yesterday to have them sexed as i was still having trouble and it turns out they are all boys

I am now in denial

I was sure the 2 tortie tabbies were girls, i didnt think you could have male torties

Had 3 different people look and they were all adamant they were all the same and all boys!!

Well the vet must know surely? All little tommys then - absolutely lovely. I seem to remember you had homes for them - will it make any difference there?

All torties are genetically female so I guess your tabbies would be classed as just that...but they are simply stunning

You can get male Torties but they are quite rare and will be sterile. I think it is more likely that they are just tabbies. Beware though that vets can and do get it wrong and I have personal experience of this. They are gorgeous though whatever they are.

Sadly yes it has made a difference to one but they said at the vets they have lots of people enquiring and would be happy to pass on details so i dont see it being too much of a problem.

yes well, I remember my vet saying that he couldn't tell what my Teddie was and she was 10 weeks old!!

Hope they all find happy homes anyway

What a surprise! It's possible that the torties could be male, but very unlikely, I'd say. And they will be sterile if they are. Whatever, they all are wee cuties! Look forward to more pics!

You would have to post a pic of their bums and have the catsey experts guess....

I wouldn't know though.
