Is Scratch Cat Male or Female?
I don't know Scratch Cat's gender, and when I look it up, nothing is there. Can anyone tell me what his gender is? Please?

Scratch Cat is officially nonbinary (source). However, several Scratch Team members use he/him pronouns when referring to Scratch Cat.

Though This wiki article (same one KangaCoder sent you) states that the Scratch Cat is non-binary, people are free to interpret the cat's gender as whatever they'd like.

You can't not be a gender! That doesn't make sense!

You can't not be a gender! That doesn't make sense!LGBTQ is something that is rapidly rising in popularity; some people in this group claim to be non-binary (neither male or female), gender fluid (can be male or female), etc. You can learn more about it next month, June, which is “Pride Month” (or check out some other info from previous Pride Months from the Scratch Team).

You can't not be a gender! That doesn't make sense!Biological “gender” (because I dont really wanna use the other word even if in this case it is appopriate, the actual word isn't gender but is close enough) is different from gender. Gender is your prefered pronouns and all those stuff, while biological one is the one you're born into. However, as scratch cat isn't exactly your average human (or cat, for the matters), it like, literally doesn't have a biological gender, like, you could consider it a bacteria ig? (feel free to correct me on stuff here, im too lazy to look up all those fancy technical terms, why cant we just have like short words like gay or straight instead of long fancy names
)For the gender you are asking (as in, what you should call it), it is up to you. As scratch promotes creativity, you could call scratch “he” “she” “they” “scratchy” or whatever else you want (obviously it has to be appropriate). While the official gender is Non-binary (most likely so people dont go “hey scratch cat is a he” or “hey scratch cat is a she” when people give the cat another gender)
TL
R its whatever you want but officially Non-binary. Biological gender is also nothing, as its not exactly your average cat or humanLast edited by blablablahello (May 26, 2023 21:13:57)

You can't not be a gender! That doesn't make sense!There are two things: the biological ‘gender’ (not saying the other word in case it's not allowed) and the gender.
The biological gender is you physic, and there are two, male and female.
A male has YX chromosomes and a female XX.
The biological gender is determined at birth.
The gender, is a completely other thing, is what's in you head, how you consider yourself.
Some people are trans (transgender) which means they are the opposite gender than the one they were born.
For example a male at birth can decide he is a female and vice-versa.
Some people decide both genders don't fit them, so they are non-binary.
P.S. : I'm pretty new to the subject, so you can correct me or add some details

You can make scratch any gender you want. So non-binary,LGBTQ+,and gender neutral is correct.
