How to Tell Male and Female Kittens?

Lift the kitten’s tail gently

Look at the shape of the openings

Male kittens usually have two round openings with more space between them

Female kittens usually have a round anus and a vertical slit below it

Male kittens often have a larger gap between the anus and genital opening

Female kittens usually have a smaller gap between the anus and genital opening

Male kittens may have a slight bulge where the testicles will develop later

Female kittens do not have that bulge

Compare with a known male or female kitten if possible

Ask a veterinarian if you are unsure
