It feels like in german that hats are mostly referred to as female (“she is a cutie”) until proven otherwise (maybe) because the word for the species “Katze” is also the word for female cats “Katze” while males have the word “Kater”
Also a lot of cats are “Katzen” and never “Katers”
The German language has three forms of the word “the” - the two genders, and neutral. As a kid living in Germany for a while, this gave me fits - things like doors, tables, windows, etc. are gendered, but I’ll be damned if I could ever figure out any pattern to predict which would get which gender (or neutral).

Germans gender hats? But I’m masculine and love wearing bunny ears! /s
