* '''Justified''': Alice cannot tell male cats from female cats. [[note]] Are you in Alice's position? Well,you can tell the difference by looking under the cat's tail. A male cat (or tom, tomcat, gib if neutered) will have a ball-sack, which is smaller in neutered cats. His penis is underneath the balls, in a little hole. A female cat (or molly, queen if she is nursing or pregnant) doesn't have any visible genitalia apart from her urethra/vagina. You can tell their sex by the time they're a few weeks old. [[/note]]
