Cats are one of the favorite pets. Who doesn't love these cute, clawed, purring creatures? For the establishment of a new pet in the house, many begin to prepare in advance. They buy beautiful bowls, balls, toy mice and dry food, come up with a name and imagine how a cute kitty will meet them at home after work, and someone with a mustachioed insolent cat.

Instructions
Step 1
When you come to the nursery or to the house where the baby is given, carefully take the kitten, turn it back to you, lift its tail and look there. There are two holes there. The hole that is higher and closer to the tail is the anus, below the anus is the urogenital opening.
Step 2
If the kitten is female, then you will see the anus from above, just under the tail. Below the anus there is a kind of vertical opening in the form of an oblong slit.
Step 3
The boy's kitten has small round testicles about a centimeter below the anus. They may not be visible until 5-10 weeks after birth. Under the testicles in boys, there is another opening - this is the opening of the foreskin.
Step 4
So, the boy's kitten under the tail will have two holes in the form of dots, the cat has a dot, and under it is a vertical strip.
Step 5
If the kittens are just recently born, it will be even easier to determine their gender! In a newborn girl, the distance between the holes is small, no more than 5 mm. In the boy, this distance is greater - about 1 cm, since between the opening of the anus and the foreskin he has a scrotum, which is not yet visible, since it is empty.
Step 6
At the age of 10 days, more differences appear and it will be possible to find out the sex of the kitten by the following signs. In a cat, between the anus and the genital slit, the part of the body will be hairless, and in the cat, this distance is covered with fur.
Step 7
As kittens grow, the difference between females and males will be more noticeable, as male kittens will have testicles growing, rounded and covered with fluffy fur.
Step 8
It happens that a mistake occurs in determining the sex of a kitten and your cat, growing up, suddenly becomes a kitten. This happens mainly with long-haired breeds and if the kitten's testicles have not yet descended.
Step 9
So, the boy's kitten under the tail will have two holes in the form of dots, the cat has a dot, and under it is a vertical strip. If there are 2-3 kittens in the house or cattery, then it will be easier to find out the sex of the kitten by comparison.
Step 10
Experienced cat owners can determine the sex of a kitten even by the structure of the body and the shape of the face. But even they sometimes make mistakes, so arm yourself with the knowledge you have gained and boldly follow a new household!
