If you want to be all French about it, Emily is currently une chat endormie

Une chatte endormie. Female cat is a "chatte", and yes, it has the same alternative use as "pussy".
Bonne sieste mon chaton!
Le miau, le purr
Mais oui!
Would it not be "une chat"?

I thought French indefinite articles were gendered, like other romance languages like Portuguese and Spanish.

But it's been roughly 35 years since I dropped highschool french...
- 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.
Très jolie! Doux rêves ma chérie!
Evidentement oui!
She is a beautiful lady
