Is My 6 Month Old Kitten A Boy Or Girl?

[mmeyers9]

Can you get us a more in focus picture? Based on your last set of pics, that middle one sure looks like a vagina to me, but it's hard bc in the first set I was thinking boy. But i'm leaning towards girl now bc opening looks like a slit and not a round dot. Can you try pics again please?

i sure will, lol, he moves so much .
I'll try more

If you can't manage better pictures don't worry about it; your vet will figure it out. There's no need to feel embarrassed about being uncertain; as others have mentioned this can be a very difficult question to answer - your vet will understand.

And, BTW, this is the only place I know of where a group of people enjoy looking at pictures of the private parts of cats/kittens and trying to guess the sex of the little one. (Yeah, we're all a little crazy, in a good way. )

, i know, right?
he bites me when i try to look, so it's hard

I’m guessing girl!
But I might be way off. I just brought my kittens to the vet and the ones that gave us the kittens were way off with their genders lol so best option is to bring him/her to the vet.

 

[mmeyers9]

oh geez, lol, i got one shot of him on his back....
but Leon didn't wanna behave, so i tricked him, and turned the water on in the bathroom.
he loves it
i got 4 more pix, and a few bites,

 

[mmeyers9]

and thx to everything who cares.
i know the vet will tell me, but waiting 2wks will drive me nuts...
but boy or girl, he's still Leon,
i named him after my dad, who passed away 1wk after i found Leon.

 

[mmeyers9]

i just can't get any clearer, my only chances are when he is playing with the water in the sink, lol

I think an ambiguous girl. Hard to tell even though I'm checking my kitten book and staring at these pics. Lol.

I know. the only clue I have, is he's 6 months but has no bumps down there

I want to say boy but heck if I know. When we dissected mammals one of the very large male (adult) cats had such tiny testis that everyone thought it was a girl at first when doing the external and muscular anatomy. Poor thing was quite unimpressive. All his parts did turn out to be in the right places, just unusually small.

for sure. whether he is a boy or girl, i just want Leon healthy. but isn't his pee hole close to his bottom?

 

[Willowy]

She's a girl. You would not have been able to. . .part a male back there like in the pictures. A male has, from the top: anus, testicles, round hole for penis. Like *8*

Females have just anus, genital slit, like *-

 

[mmeyers9]

yes, there is nothing between the anus and pee hole. it's flat.
but is it possible they havent formed yet?

When I got my cat neutered at 4 months his testicles were pretty obvious.

 

[mmeyers9]

I was told Leon was a boy by the Foster family who found him at @3wks old.
they took him to vet, and bottle ffe him til 6wks when I got him.
you'd think the vet and foster family woulda been right. I guess my boy is a girl. 6 months and he has nothing. lol.
he's still my baby boy. lol

My cousin has a cat whose testicles never dropped. He still has space for them and a scrotum, it's just empty and flat (basically like an early-neutered male). She doesn't have space for them or a scrotum. She's a she.

Fortunately, cats don't have a gender identity and don't care what you call them. Just be sure to have her spayed soon before you get a big surprise! After that she can safely be your baby boy .

 

[mmeyers9]

oh yes, lol.
i have an appt, i told em i didnt know if it was a neutering or spaying...
.
he has no sac, no loose skin.
just weird, when you raise a pet a certain gender. and then told it's wrong.
i see a little boy when i look at him, so his gender isnt important...
lol

 

[mmeyers9]

the animal shelter and the foster family both said boy, but he was about 3wks old at the time, lol...
oops
