    Une chatte endormie. Female cat is a “chatte”, and yes, it has the same alternative use as “pussy”.

    Would it not be “une chat”?

    I thought French indefinite articles were gendered, like other romance languages like Portuguese and Spanish.

    But it’s been roughly 35 years since I dropped highschool french…

      Good point, fixed.

      As a reward for being so helpful, here’s a funny exchange I saw while looking for confirmation:

        “Un chat” is correct.

        Masc. = un chat. Fem. = une chatte.

          Yeah, this is the correct take. Objects or inanimate things have arbitrary gender, but sexed animals can obviously be feminine or masculine.

          Edit: Oooooh, its name is Emily. Misunderstood what the confusion was about. ‘Une chatte’ then.
