Woman Takes Cat to the Vet for First Vaccine, in Shock Over What She’s Told – Newsweek

After trusting the previous cat owner's word, a woman was speechless at a vet appointment after learning the truth about her new fur baby.

Yasmeen, known on TikTok as @yasmeenfarq, bought a cat from an owner who kept referring to the feline as "she" while exchanging messages. That alone would have been enough not to question the cat's gender, but Yasmeen told Newsweek the owner also had the cat checked by a vet.

The whole time, Yasmeen believed she was welcoming home a female cat. She even named it Luna. Then a vet visit for "Luna's" first vaccine left her stunned. The vet broke the news to her that Luna was not a female.

In the July 18 TikTok video, she addresses the mix-up with her cat by asking if he knew this whole time he was male. Annoyed, he stares back at her because, of course, he knew. He can't believe it took her this long to realize it.

The caption reads: "Still shook. Good thing we were never gonna breed the kitten."

It finally clicked for Yasmeen when she heard the news: No wonder this cat wasn't responding to Luna, his girlie name.

"I was just like mouth open. Then, you are kidding me," she told Newsweek via TikTok. "And then [I] was like, 'The girl we bought her from, well, he said [it] was a girl.' I can't believe that."

Upon hearing the news, Yasmeen knew it was time to give her confirmed male cat a new name. Out with Luna and in with Luis.

Luckily, Luis didn't hold it against her. He even initiated an apology by standing up and offering cuddles when Yasmeen was confronting him. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Yasmeen wrote in the comments section: "I'm honestly quite happy it's a boy now from what everyone's saying about the boy cats being more affectionate."

The hilarious mix-up left viewers laughing. As of Wednesday, the TikTok clip had over 23,800 views and 1,974 likes.

"All this time he hasn't known how to tell you," joked a viewer.

A second user said: "He's like, 'Of course I knew, you didn't?"

Cat parents flooded the comments section in solidarity, with one saying: "This has happened to me THREE times."

Another wrote: "This happened with my first cat! It took 2 vets visits for them to then confirm, Tito was indeed Tati."
