So you have a pet and you love him dearly. Let's call him George. One day, you notice that George has become quite fat, you also notice he seems to be sickly. Worriedly you rush George to the veterinarian and ask him worriedly what is wrong with the animal. The vet smiles slyly and informs you that "he" is pregnant. (Apparently you didn't rub George's tummy very often.) Oops.

{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
 
* In ''[[Aria]]'' (the manga, at least), President Maa is normally refered as Maa-kun and thought to be a male cat, until the trio went to the vet for annual cat vaccine injection, which then reveals that Maa is female. They threw around the idea of calling her "Maa-chan", but by then they'd called her "Maa-kun" for so long that calling her -chan wouldn't have felt right.
* In a scene in the first episode of ''[[Shinkon Gattai Godannar]]'', Anna is stroking her pregnant cat, and she states that she's surprised the cat turned out to be female. Her mother responds by saying she's surprised in all this time (five years) Anna hadn't noticed.
Line 81:
* In ''[[The Closer]]'' episode "Batter Up", Brenda Lee Johnson has her cat Kitty taken to the vet because of illness. While he's at the vet, "he" gives birth to a litter of kittens. By habit, Brenda continues to call Kitty "he", even after this revelation.
* Gender-reversed in ''[[Blackadder the Third]].'' Baldrick has a male cat named Mildred (although that's not surprising what with Baldrick being [[Bumbling Sidekick|Baldrick]].)
* ''[[MASHM*A*S*H (television)|M*A*S*H]]'' has an interesting case in one episode, in which Klinger is trying to breed chinchillas that he bought from a "travelling chinchilla salesman".
{{quote|'''Klinger''': Now, if you'll just let me cover the cage, Romeo and Juliet are giving each other that look that only lovers share.
'''Winchester''': Uh, [[Ho Yay|Romeo and ''Mercutio'']] is more like it. }}
Line 88:
 
* "Saturday Morning Confusion" by Bobby Russell includes the following lines:
{{quote|<poem>''It's a Saturday morning confusion.
''If you think you can sleep, it's illusion,
''<nowiki>{{'</nowiki>}}Cause you'll probably get a rude intrusion from Harry the dog.
''Harry the dog is as big as can be
''Harry the dog had puppies last week.
''We couldn't tell if it's a he or a she, now we know.''</poem>}}
:Amusingly, the song continues to refer to Harry as "he" all the way to the end.

* Happened in the webcomic ''[[Girly]]'', where the cat that the main characters took in got really fat before giving birth, much to their surprise. A bigger surprise is when they find out who's the father, the black cat with the ear splitting cry.
