Dear Rafael,
I have the feeling that cats, being multiparous, would not exhibit any sex differences in the morphology of the pelvis. As for size, differences between females and males are often so slight that they may not even be statistically significant for individuals within the same population, though I am not positive about this last bit.
Cheers,

Asunto: [ZOOARCH] Sexing cats
Dear zooarchers,
I was wondering if any of you have any reference or pdf paper about differences in the pelvis of domestic cat by sex, and the possibilities of sexing cats by pelvis shape
