The best way to tell what gender a cat is, is by looking underneath the base of its tail. A male kitten that has not been neutered will have two furry testicles right below the anus, and a penis right below the testicles. A neutered male cat or very young kitten will not have visible testicles, but there will be a noticeable space between its anus and penis.

Spayed and intact female kittens alike will have a genital opening (vulva) which is often seen as a tear-drop shape located right below the anus.

It is usually very difficult to accurately tell the sex of a kitten until it is at the very least two weeks old. In males, the testicles do not begin to develop until four to six weeks old.

In kittens the females do not have any bumps or bulges in their genital area except the vagina, urethra and anus. Males have bumps that are their testicles. They just don't drop right at birth. However, a have visible testicles, but there will be a noticeable ace between its anus and penis.

Checking for nipples is not an accurate way of telling a cat's gender as male cats can have nipples too!

Please note that checking for nipples is not an accurate way of telling a cat's gender - male cats can have nipples too! They just have no function, much the same as human males have nipples but have no use for them.

Cats have an anus and a vulva which is close together, a male has an anus and a penis which are farther apart.

To tell the gender of a tabby cat look at the genitals of the cat. A male cat will have a penis and a female will have a vagina.
