Many inexperienced cat owners have faced this situation. It would seem that they took the kitty, and after a few months, she begins to scream heart-rendingly and mark the territory, like a cat. The fact is that small kittens have very similar genitals and in order to identify a cat or a cat, you need to know small differences.
Instructions
Step 1
They pick up the kitten and raise its tail. Two holes will appear. The one that is closer to the tummy is the urogenital, the second under the tail is the anal or anus.
Step 2
If the urogenital opening has a slightly elongated shape in the form of a slit, then this is a kitty.
Step 3
In addition, in cats, the genital slit is closer to the anus, the second opening, than in cats.
Step 4
In a cat, there are two small tubercles between the urogenital opening and the anus. These are testicles, but sometimes due to their descent into the peritoneum, they are almost invisible, especially in newborn kittens. In such cases, if it is necessary to determine the sex of a kitten without having to compare its fellows from the litter, difficulties may arise.
Step 5
In adult males, sexual characteristics are very noticeable. Mature cats can be distinguished from females by protruding testicles.
Step 6
Determining the sex of a kitten can be done by its color. There are almost never tricolor cats with red spots, such as tortoiseshell or others.
