Is my kitten male or female?

[Carlos Emmanuel]

The owner of the mother cat said it's a male, but I'm not sure. He/she is approximately 12 weeks old and is called Pichau.

 

[Carlos Emmanuel]

Here is a comparison with a sister from the same litter. Pichau looks a little more masculine, but I think it could still be female.

The opening is a small slit, but it doesn't look big enough to be a female, and it's a considerable distance from the anus.

I would say male, but let others come on and put their input in too. I have been wrong too many times!

Ok, thanks for the answer!

I think female, but I'm looking on a small phone screen. I'll raje another look when I get to my computer.

Come on people, any guesses!?

It's not that far from the anus, and it is a slit rather than a o so I'm going with female.
If s/he's twelve weeks there should be some sign of the bulging of the scrotal sac by now.

Yes, it makes sense. It's more like a female.

When I palpated the area I couldn't feel anything but empty skin given part of the urethra, but below the anus I could feel 2 bumps, but I don't know if they were the anal glands or the testicles.

See, I took a picture while holding the ledge. I'm pretty sure it wasn't just skin, and it's on the left and right side.

Anal glands are really close to the anus

Testicles are in between.

 

[mani]

I'm not sure what you are showing us.
The testicles should be able to be felt at this age, and you should also be able to see them to some degree.

So probably what I felt were not the anal glands, but they were also in a position that is not normal for the testicles.

I can't see anything but the anus and urethra, and it's pretty hard to feel anything by palpating.

There is also a lot of space between the supposed testicles, which makes it harder to identify.
