Because Krazy is genderless in the Herriman strip as well as in the early films, that cat could date both guys and girls. But since the cat's feminine side is hardly noticeable, this explains why he is turned into a male in those Paramount and Columbia cartoons.
Krazy Kat was certainly America's first animated cartoon star. This was until another black cat took the attention of moviegoers only a few years later.
Does it seem though that Dr. Seuss' Cat in the Hat might have been inspired by Krazy? The second cartoon shows some interesting details.

Since this was made in 1916, doesn't that make it public domain?
