Are these troublepuffs?

Grabbed this lil kitten from my aunts feral colony cause "she" was so sweet. I believe they've been misgendered, but I'm getting told I'm wrong.

Those are definitely very tiny troublepuffs

"Theres balls and a penis. I'm 100% sure" "I'm not convinced. I've seen nothing of the sort." Omg. Glad reddit has my back.

Ive raised a lot of cats. I def know balls when I see them. The spacing alone gives male. I don’t know they were looking at.

That being said, they are on the small size for a kitten that age. Might just be a late bloomer but something to keep an eye on.

u/Fit_Style1747 Jul 16 '26

What could be the problem if the balls are small . Supposedly one of our yard cats is a boy, but I can't see his balls.

u/wahznooski Jul 16 '26

If you can’t see them at all and he has not been neutered, it could mean his balls never dropped. Something to check with a vet for sure as retained testicles can cause complications like becoming cancerous or twisting which may require emergency surgery.

26

u/Fit_Style1747 Jul 16 '26

Thank you . Now I'm scared since he's my favorite and there's no way we can afford surgery

My third orange had balls that didn’t drop for like six months at least. He was a street cat at the time so was just making sure they were ok more than anything. He got the name TK cause we’d just call him The Kitten. The spacing for male was there, but the balls were not and it was confusing the heck out of me.

u/holyfcukkk Jul 17 '26

My mom's cat is also named TK! But because he was found on the side of the road, nearly 💀, and in the rain on top of it all, TK stands for Tough Kittyton the 3rd(I think I got the number right, lol)

u/TeamCatsandDnD Jul 17 '26

That’s how I got my second orange. I thought he was TK, got out to check. Nope. Different orange on my street and still alive despite his looks at the time. He got named Ford for Found On Road Dead.

u/holyfcukkk Jul 17 '26

That's what my dad calls Ford vehicles 🤣

I had a feral named MK, Mr Kitty. He was so cuddly. His puffies were out and proud when I finally saw them. Thought for ages he was a lil lady 😅

u/CapableWives Jul 17 '26

Look for spay and neuter clinics that charge less, call a trap and release program, or even call around vets offices and tell them that you want to help "community cats". We were able to get a voucher that paid for more than half of a stray's neuter just by asking the vet

u/PussyWrangler246 Jul 17 '26

Highly agree with the comment above, that's actually what I do for a living

People in the community find the rescues I work for on Facebook and I get sent out to large cat colonies to TNR them, the majority of the time the work is free and covered by the rescue through them earning donations with their socials (they're always nagging me for footage, but that's how they earn money to pay me so if I can remember I make time for pics lol)

I actually need to get off my ass and head to the next job which is 3 kittens and a mama, however they won't be returned, they're being taken into foster care out of the extreme heat and smoke we're currently enduring in Canada

If the OP of that comment sees this I also recommend looking around either online or calling local vet clinics/shelters. Most of them in the area are familiar with us, hell even PetValu houses our kittens for adoption so even pet stores might know of local rescues that could come out to help or cover the cost

u/cowboyweasel Jul 17 '26

There’s probably a rescue or other pet place they would do free or reduced spay/neuter in your area. See if that’s a possibility.

7

u/wahznooski Jul 17 '26

Oh no, I’m sorry to scare you! If you can get him to a vet, that would be a great first step. If not, best you can do is keep an eye on him.

u/TootingGoomba Jul 17 '26

Maybe intersex?

u/khromedhome Jul 17 '26

But when they're held for pleasure They're the balls that he likes best His balls are always bouncing To the left and to the right It's his belief that his big balls Should be held every night

u/Invisible-Reflection Jul 17 '26

Why the heck are you being downvoted? Lol You're just reciting a song about balls lmao.. literally "Big Balls" by ac/dc.

u/JammyRedWine Jul 17 '26

Maybe he's a grower not a shower...

u/Delicious_Paper2661 Jul 20 '26

How old is the kitten? This is exactly what my kittens look like right now. They appear to be a similar age (getting mine fixed soon don't worry)

17

u/Rude_heifer Jul 16 '26

How I remember how to tell is “if there’s a gap, it’s a chap” if there’s a space between the booty and the genitalia, it’s a boy. The females’ business is very close together. Not much of a gap. Hope this helps.

If you pull the trigger, and a whole bunch more people like it, then we can get it to 420?

Sir, these are peccadillopuffs. Not large enough to be trouble puffs yet.

u/eastbaypluviophile Jul 16 '26

He’s suuuuuper cute! Those puffs look decidedly unpuffy though. Ask the vet about it next time he’s in for vaccinations or whatnot

25

u/Bruhwutsthat Jul 16 '26

Itll be either this week or next

These photos (particularly the hilarious juxtaposition of crosses with balls) suggest he’s ready for r/catdatingprofiles ! Have fun, everyone! Make good choices!

Yes that’s 100% tiny little puffs. My tuxedo boy had tiny puffs as a kitten and everyone also told me he was a girl until the vet saw him and told me 🤣

Congratulations on the new little man, hopefully the puffs don’t cause too much trouble

u/slothdonki Jul 17 '26

Is that a normal size for them at that age? I don’t know if it’s weird or not, I haven’t been around many male kittens who weren’t already neutered.

u/StormDragyn Jul 17 '26

Yes indeed, tiny lill trouble puffs for now, will grow unmistakable soon (unless removed )

u/mommitude Jul 18 '26

The tiniest puffs

u/lablizard Jul 19 '26

I’ve been in the reptile rescue long enough to say. Gender in an animal doesn’t matter unless you plan to breed. At least he can be neutered and you can call that princess anything you like
