Franks and Beans

I am crying right now I am laughing so hard. In order to begin this tale of our wonder-kitty I am going to have to go back a few days...
It was about a week ago that I was holding Zoe upside down, playing with her-not torturing her. Now, I am not a cat reproductive organ specialist, but I was pretty damn sure that as I held her I spied a whole lot more in the nether-regions than I had anticipated. Our super, who gave us the cat, told us that all of the kittens were girls so you can imagine my surprise when our cat appeared to have an ENORMOUS vagina. I mentioned my findings to Kevin and he said he didn't know what the junk of a cat should look like, male or female, and we kind of just forgot about it.
Last night Paul and Andrea came over for Monday night football. As Paul was playing with Zoe he mentioned that it looked like Zoe had franks and beans. Mind you, he said this independently of my comment and it was never brought to his attention by us. All that could be confirmed up to this point is that none of us know what the heck a cat's woohoo should look like. Being the devoted family Paul and Andrea are, they went home last night and inspected their own kittens to help us come to a conclusion. After work today I had a message from Andrea letting me know that after investigating the rear-view of their kittens, one boy and one girl, they are certain that Zoe is a boy.
Well, I couldn't just leave such an important fact idle while I waited for Zoe's balls to drop, so I did what any respectable person would do. I searched male cat on Google images and was presented with a myriad of up close and personal images for evidence. (I considered posting the deciding photo here in order to educate all of the other people out there that cannot ID a cat's sex). The findings?
Yep, that's right, our kitten Zoe is not a girl, she is a boy. She is a boy cat running around with a girl's name and a pink polka-dot collar. She/he doesn't seem very traumatized by any of this... not even the 10-15 times we have turned her/him over and inspected her/his weewee. I have to say, this whole experience has made me feel much closer to the kitty than before.
So Zoe is no more. We are open to suggestions for male cat names. I am rooting for Frank Y Beans Boerem

Franks Y Beans = hilarious. I love it. Have you considered using an acronym? How about IWAGO? (I was a girl once) or BALP (boys also love pink).......

Really I love Franks Y Beans. I think that gets my vote.
