Children's Encyclopedia of Zoology. Cats are shelters of different animals. And if an animal is called "cat" (in fact, like "panther"), it is called "cat" regardless of gender. "Cats", as well as, for example, "snakes" - words commonly spoken, but not the name of the animal, in the name proud males are still "cat" and "snakes".

There is also the reverse situation. A shrimp cat, even if a female, is still a shrimp cat.
