Rare orange cat spotted outside after student finishes practicum, he names the cat Dexter before realizing Dexter is actually a girl

Imagine adopting a cat, and thinking you have it all figured out, then suddenly you realize that your male cat, Dexter, is actually a girl!

You heard it here, folks. This guy was just out of his practicum and heard meowing. He went towards the noise, and saw this little orange kitty covered in scratches. He immediately took him in (after checking that he's really a stray), and then took him to the vet. It was here that the new owner now realized his mistake, that his little Dexter was actually Dextera! Read the full story below for all the wholesome details.

Seriously, how funny is it that this guy thought his new cat was a boy? It's a pretty common mistake though! When I first got my cat, I had no mistaking that he was a boy because he just looked so…boy-like. He has funny looking eyes, he is on the bigger side, and has a slight tilt to his head. I knew immediately this was no girl cat. He just had such a masculine presence to him. He even came with the name, Ty, so I was fairly certain he was a boy. Fast forward a few years later to now and we're the best of friends. He's seriously my everything. We do everything together at home – we watch TV together, play video games together, sleep together and eat together. If I get sushi I always make sure to give him a bite, and when I'm eating my ice cream, one bite is for me and the other is for him. Cats are really the best. The cat distribution system works in mysterious ways.

For people who live without animals, I don't understand how they do it. I figured that if I meet someone and they say they don't like animals I automatically think it's a red flag. I love pointing out dogs on the street, petting them, or making friends with my friend's pets. There's something so human about loving animals, and it keeps you in touch with your inner self. For people who don't like animals, they have something evil inside them. But enjoy the story!
