Open Hole Below His Balls?

[Jimmy96]

I was petting the kitten and i saw a open hole what seems to be around his balls. There isn't no discharge, no blood, just a hole that's opened. Is this normal? He seems to be okay and fine and as regular as daily.

That's his penis . Or I should say, that's the sheath where his penis hides most of the time. You may see it now and then when he's grooming but cats don't tend to show it off as much as dogs do .

OH LOL. So nothing to be worried about then

I'm sorry, Jimmy96 ; it isn't you. The site has lost two kittens in the last few days and I really needed a good laugh. So when I saw that picture (expecting an anus) and saw a penis sheath instead I laughed for 5 minutes. Thank you! I needed that desperately, and I'm glad we could set your mind at ease.

His actual penis will show up one of these days when he's grooming himself - it's been described as a "red rocket" - don't let it throw you when you spot it. Just because it's red doesn't mean that he's wounded himself.

Welcome to The Cat Site, the best community of cat lovers on the internet! We hope you and your kitten will be members of our community for a very long time to come.

What's your kittens name? And do you have any other pictures of him? Please post them; we're all suckers for cat pictures in general, but especially for kitten pictures.

OH MY! Yes, that's perfectly normal, and YES, we all needed a reason to chuckle, and THANK YOU for being such a caring cat guardian! Feel free to ask all the questions you want to! That's what we are here for.

That looks like a perfectly normal setup for a male cat

As others have said, you may occasionally see his winkie when he is grooming, otherwise it lives in there
