Reproductive Organs
Let's start with the obvious: The sex organs. Female cats have a uterus and ovaries, while male cats have testicles. Nipples, on the other hand, are present in both cats and tomcats. Unlike female cats, tomcats cannot produce milk with their nipples and therefore cannot nurse kittens.
[TRANSLATION ERROR] Kitten saugen an der Zitzen ihrer Mutter und kneten dabei den Bauch. Dieser "Milchtritt" soll den Milchfluss anregen und beruhigt Katzen.

Male cats are generally →larger and heavier than female cats. However, this is not a strict rule. Depending on the breed and individual genetic factors, there are many exceptions.
Coat Patterns
