Many animals have different words depending on sex. For example “der Hund” (the dog) is masculine but a female dog (bitch) is “die Hündin”.
Like most nouns referring to animal and human subjects, there are two separate words for “cat” depending on its sex. While “die Katze” is indeed, feminine, it technically refers to a female cat. A male cat is “der Kater”.
