    Don’t try to move things along too quickly. Let her hide somewhere she feels safe until she’s ready to come out. Give her nice food to eat and a clean litter tray. Let her come to you - don’t try to stroke or hold her until she’s ready for it. Learn basic cat language - narrowing your eyes and looking away is a sign of friendship. When she gets close enough, stroke the side of her face to show you like her. When you get closer, bumping noses is the cat equivalent of kissing.



  • There’s a sonic boom coming from those goalposts because they are moving so fast. You asked for an example of something in nature having more than 2 sexes because you originally said that there are only 2 sexes in the natural world.

    But anyway, let’s change your requirement and make the definition of sex being only applicable to organisms that only produce one set of gametes.

    By that definition, there are people who do not have a sex because their body produces both types. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovotesticular_syndrome

    But wait! It’s a disorder, so it doesn’t count, right? Ask yourself why it is a disorder. The reason is that humans have decided that there are only two sexes. It’s circular reasoning. There are two sexes, so when someone comes along who is neither or both, they don’t count because they should be one or the other. Why should they be one or the other? Because there are two sexes. And round and round we go. It’s faulty logic.

    Nature produces people who by your own definition are neither male or female. It is you who decided there are exactly two sexes. Nature doesn’t care about definitions that humans apply to try to shoehorn things into categories, it just does its own thing.
