The visible differences between male and female genitalia can be more subtle in kittens than in adults But when you know what to look for, sexing a kitten doesn't have to be. Sexing kittens doesn't have to be hard Pete wedderburn, dvm shares the steps to accurately and easily determining whether your kitten is male or female. Most cat people find it very difficult to tell the sex of their kittens, particularly when it comes to newborn kittens They often resort to asking their local vet to help sexing a kitten for them
But, thanks to kitten lady, aka hannah shaw, you can work out how to tell the sex of a kitten all by yourself In the video below, hannah will show you in a quick and easy video everything you need. It’s also extremely difficult to tell the sex of a kitten under 4 weeks old, so you may be putting both the mother cat and the kittens under unnecessary distress. If a kitten is handled too much during this time, the mother may abandon it and stop nursing it altogether So don't get too anxious to determine the sex of your kittens Instead, wait until at least two weeks—or preferably longer—to start handling your kittens.
