It bothers me when cat memes refer to the pictured cat as "he," but I can tell from its coat pattern that it's female. I may know too much about cats.

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).
