Which biological gender is the Scratch Cat?

Does anyone know? Please? Everyone assumes that he/she is male, but is he/she?

Probably a male cat.

According to Scratch Team member Ceebee, the Scratch Cat is nonbinary, meaning that they do not identify as strictly male or female in terms of gender. However, many users, even some Scratch Team members, use other pronouns for Scratch Cat, especially he/him.

Alright, thanks. Very helpful.

Most people say it's a “he” but it is really “non binary”.

The Scratch Cat is non-binary, as said above. Many people assume they're male though, maybe due to orange fur in cats being very rare in females.

non-binary/agender, as TheToothlessWolf explained.

Then why are you saying it again? It's not really a problem, I'm just wondering why.

I think this post by Paddle2see pretty much sums it up. The Scratch Cat can be whatever you want them to be to suit your project, whether that’s male or female.

I think scratch cat is gender neutral. There's no reason to assign a gender.

Well, assuming Scratch Cat is a biological cat, this means that they inherited two * chromosomes, and there's a 50/50 chance of inheriting the Y chromosome from the father, and so Scratch Cat, when (if) he was born, was either male or female.

Yep. I think this sums it up pretty well. I'm not sure if the Scratch Cat has official preferred pronouns, though “they/them” would probably be a safe choice.
