Une chatte endormie. Female cat is a "chatte", and yes, it has the same alternative use as "pussy".

    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...
