Sex determination of a kitten, unlike an adult cat, - very uncommon task. For this purpose most often it is necessary to be guided not by direct, but indirect signs. There are several ways of the solution of this task.
Instruction
1. For sex determination of a kitten find at it genitals which are located under a tail. The structure of genitals of a female differs from the structure of bodies of a male, but also at that, and at another they are below an anus. Kittens females approximately in centimeter from an anus have a small crack, and for males - small testicles and a penis. If the animal escapes, without allowing to consider area under a tail, study a kitten paunch. The cat on a stomach has pronounced nipples, and the cat does not have them. This way is suitable for sex determination even of newborn kittens.
2. The second method is used in case the kitten reached monthly age. During this period becomes possible to define a sex of a kitten on his muzzle and eyes. Unlike cats, at cats more extended muzzle and almond-shaped eyes. Besides, cats are a little larger than cats. Try to define also a sex of a kitten on other indirect signs. For example, tortoise cats are only females, cats are not to such color. It is connected with a set of genes which defines coloring of a cat. Also usually males are red. But such way of sex determination is less reliable, than the first.
3. Try to define a sex of a kitten on his character. Cats are more playful, but they are more betrayed to the house and are tender in relation to the owner. Cats are more proud and independent, are sometimes careless and careless, but are quieter and lazy, than cats.
4. Irrespective of a way which you are going to use define a sex of a kitten before you get it or you will take in a gift, but not later. The exception is made by the found kittens which should be taken anyway in avoidance of their inevitable death. Surely specify the sex of a kitten defined by you in the announcement of its find - it in quite considerable degree will increase the probability that owners identify it.
