In the absence of professional testing, how to accurately determine whether a kitten is a male or female cat has always been a topic of concern for cat owners. This article will introduce a few simple and easy ways to help you easily identify the sex of your kitten. Whether you're a novice cat owner or a seasoned cat owner, these tips will be of great benefit to you.
Part I: Appearance Features.
The physical characteristics of kittens provide some clues when it comes to gender identification. Careful observation of the following aspects can preliminarily determine the sex of the kitten.
1.Body shape and weight: Male cats are typically larger and weigh more than female cats. At the same age, male cats are more likely to be stronger than female cats.
2.Tail shape: Male cats have thicker tails with a relatively rounded base, while female cats have more slender tails.
3.*Distance: Male cats are farther away and female cats are closer together. This difference in distance can be visually observed by placing the kitten on its back and gently separating it with its fingers**.
Part 2: Observing Mimi.
The shape and features of Mimi can also be used as a reference for gender discrimination.
1.Position and shape: The urethral opening of male cats is separated from the opening of the urethra and is shaped like a small dot, while the urethral opening of female cats is located above the opening of the mouth, presenting a vertical opening.
2.Distance and prominence: Male cats have a more prominent urethral opening and are farther away**, while female cats have a less pronounced urethral opening and are closer to **.
Part III: Behavioral Performance.
In addition to physical features, the kitten's behaviour can also provide some clues about gender.
1.Stage performances: Male cats will show more stage performances during estrus, such as provocatively pouting their tails, facing the air **, etc.
2.Marking behaviors: Female cats exhibit more marking behaviors during the heat period, such as scratching walls with their paws, spraying markers with urine, etc.
3.Quietness: In general, male cats are relatively quiet, while female cats are more prone to tossing and trying to get attention.
Although the above methods can be used as a preliminary reference for gender discrimination, they are not absolutely accurate. If you are very concerned about the sex of your kitten, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian for professional testing. At the same time, please also remember that kittens should be given adequate love and attention regardless of whether they are male or female.
