How to know if it's a female or a male kitty

[moosmom]

Yup, what Catmandu said. Just life it's tail. If there are 2 fur-covered pussy willows, then it's a boy. If there are non, then it's a girl.

If they're too young, the "pom poms" may not have descended yet. One of my former foster kittens was a hermaphrodite! When they went to spay "her" they found cryptorchid "equipment"! They didn't charge extra, though.

Hope this helps.

To tell if your kitten is male or female, you will need to lift the tail and look at the back end. Both sexes will have two holes but on a female the holes will be fairly close together, whereas on a male there will be a space where the testicles will develop.

If he is two months, it should be pretty easy to tell. To tell the gender of newborn kittens you just look down south. Lay them on their back. If its a dot, its a boy. If its a slit, its a girl.

Otherwise lift the tail and look from behind and you should be able to tell that way

...and if the cat is long haired it is harder to tell. But as everyone is saying, at 2 monthes most times you will see puff-balls if its male.

I agree with everyone above. If it's a male it's very easy to tell. Jessika, thanks for posting that way to tell if it's a boy or girl. Oreo's pregnant so I was wondering how to tell w/ newborn kittens.

Well if you can't tell by just looking, you may have to take two fingers and push the skin back a little bit. But its not TOO hard, you just have to know what you're looking for
