Hello my followers and possible followers.  On occasion I will be asked a slightly strange question: "Are you sure that cat is a she/he?" My answer is almost always yes. I shall show you why.

See this handsome cat?

This is a male cat. I can tell just by looking at his face. Let me break this down:

*The eyes - They are relatively small on his face, compared to a female of his type. His type is American shorthair. He just isn't squinting his eyes!

*The muzzle - The muzzle is huge on his face! See how it stretches out? He also has a slightly larger chin. I honestly have no idea why this is. Just appreciate the beauty of this magnificent creature. 

*The face shape -  Look at him. His face is round. His nose is round. His whiskerpads as well. He also has a distinct nose bridge. That creates a small eye effect.

  This is a female cat. The same type as the male, an American Shorthair!

Ah, but she looks very different, doesn't she?

*Eyes - Those eyes are huge! I mean, look at them! She's squinting, and they're still big! I believe it has something to do with the eyes being sunk farther in.

*Muzzle - The muzzle is still big, yes. But it isn't stretched out!  It's compact. 

*Face Shape - Her face is very sleek. She hardly has any cheeks! This makes her muzzle appear larger than it is. Her nose bridge is shorter, more narrow, and cock-eyed. That helps the eyes appear larger. In short, she has a heart-shaped head.

(I have this type of meow. :D) 

As you can see, cats are very diverse.

....And they can also be very derpy as well. e_o

TL;DR : Cats are as diverse as us humans are. :D
