Before about six weeks of age, a male cat's testicles have not descended and it can be difficult to tell whether you're looking at a male or s female. At six to ten weeks, testicles should be visible on the male.

With kittens, this method can be used to identify the gender:

First, lift the tail. You'll see two openings on both male and female. The upper opening on both is the anus. For the female, the lower opening is the vagina and appears as a vertical slit, placed very close to the anus. For the male, the lower opening hides the penis and is rounder, located roughly a half inch below the anus.
