Determining the sex of a kitten can be tricky. Here’s a quick guide to help you tell if a kitten is a boy or a girl:
- Positioning: Gently lift the tail to examine the area under it.
- Genitals: Male kittens have a greater distance between the anus and penis, which might appear as two dots. Females have a smaller gap between the anus and vulva, appearing as a vertical slit.
- Behavior: Observe their behavior for more clues. Males are often more adventurous while females may be docile.
