How to identify male and female kittens

There are several methods you can try to identify male and female kittens:

1. Appearance characteristics: For older kittens, you can usually start to observe the development of external genitalia around 6-8 weeks. The genitals of male cats are more obvious, with the penis located lower and shaped like a small dot, while the genitals of female cats are relatively flat.

2. Anal distance: The distance between the anus and genitals of male cats is relatively large, about 1.5-2 knuckles wide, while the distance between the anus and genitals of female cats is relatively short, about 0.5 knuckles. width.

However, these methods are not 100% accurate, and especially for younger kittens, it may be difficult to distinguish male from female. If you need exact results, it's best to consult a veterinarian for professional gender confirmation.
