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.
