This is likely because you use TextChoices subclass, you probably should use an IntegerChoices object:

class Cat(models.Model):
    class Sex(models.IntegerChoices):
        M = 1, 'Male'
        F = 2, 'Female'

    sex = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(
        choices=Sex.choices, blank=False, null=False
    )

The choices will have as difference that the choices for a TextChoices are '1' and '2', so strings, whereas for IntegerChoices, these are 1 and 2, so integers.
