How to tell a boy's kitten from a girl's

Even if the animal’s genitals have not yet formed, there are several ways to determine the sex of a cat. Today I will tell you about the most popular and effective ones. Using these methods, you can 100% distinguish a girl from a boy kitten.

To begin the examination, you should carefully pick up the kitten and place it on a previously prepared towel. Raise its tail a little, watching the animal’s reaction. If the baby is scared, it is better to postpone the procedure.

The main differences between boys and girls appear from a very early age:

The distance between the genitals and the anus in cats is much smaller than in small cats. This is one of the easiest ways to determine the gender of a kitten by eye.
The shape of the genitals in kittens of different sexes is also different. Lift the kitten's tail and look - if you see a colon, then this is a small cat. If you see the Latin letter “i” upside down, you are holding a girl kitten in your hands.
Palpation of the animal’s genitals can be done from the age of 3-4 weeks. Find the desired spot and gently move it with two closed fingers. Boy cats develop testicles from birth. So in this case you will feel small formations.

There are also folk ways to distinguish a girl from a boy kitten. However, I strongly do not recommend believing them. These grandmother's methods are more like superstitions than real signs. For example, it is believed that if a small kitten drinks milk with its tail raised, then it means a boy, if with a lowered one, then it’s a girl.

Also, some people believe that the sex of kittens can be distinguished by the smell of urine - it is supposedly much stronger in boys. Of course, it is possible to use all these methods as an additional way to determine gender. However, they are less informative compared to a one-minute inspection.

At what age can you accurately determine the gender of a kitten?

It is possible to find out absolutely exactly who the kitten is only after two months. By this time, sexual characteristics have already developed quite strongly.

The babies begin to lead an almost independent lifestyle, gradually moving away from their mother. The difference in behavior, look, habits and even daily routine between boys and girls will be immediately visible.

As a rule, cats are quite soft, affectionate, very active and playful. Their gaze is particularly attentive and kind. Cat girls love attention and love to be carried in your arms like princesses.

But boys grow up to be real pranksters! They will be happy to engage their brothers and sisters in games. The kitten boys are ready for pranks; mischievous lights immediately begin to play in their eyes.

If you don’t notice their approach in time, they will bite your hand, pull your hair, jump, and try to bite other pets by the ear and tail.

You can also pay attention to the color and shape of the muzzle. This method is effective and allows you to draw a certain conclusion at an early age.

Singapura cat

The Singapura is another small-sized cat. An adult weighs no more than 2.6 kg. This breed has a fit figure, strong muscles, ears are quite large and slightly rounded. The fur is soft and short.

For a long time, Singapore cats were of no value. In their homeland these were stray animals. But one day European felinologists noticed an unusual breed. In the 70s, several individuals were brought to the United States. Americans liked cats. A little more time passed and Singaporeans became famous throughout the world.

The kitten costs 55,000 rubles.

Ragdoll

Ragdoll kittens are very playful but obedient. Indescribable sensations and emotions arise when you hold a kitten of this breed in your arms. This is at the same time a delicate flower, a soft fabric doll, and a flexible wire.

You want to hug such a creature close to you and not let go. Kittens of this breed, like adults, have strong sensitivity and know how to treat ailments.

Burmese cat

Burms love affection and require constant attention from their owners. This is exactly the breed that you can squeeze all day long, and the kitten will only be happy.

Fluffy cats respond to their names, love to lie on their owner’s lap, and also very quickly get used to being handled.

How can you resist little kittens whose noses and paws look so adorable that you want to pet them for hours? Resistance to cute kittens is useless. You don’t even have to try to control the level of cuteness when the most beautiful kitten lies down on your lap and purrs.
