How to Tell if a Kitten is Male or Female

It is difficult to tell the difference between male and female kittens before they are fully developed. Newly born kittens are even harder to distinguish. Owners can observe the distance between the vaginal opening and the anus. If it looks like a colon, it's a male; if it looks like a straight line, it's a female. The testicles of young kittens are so small that they are hardly visible, and the scrotum has not yet developed, so it is difficult to tell them apart. You can identify them after three weeks of age.

How to Tell the Difference Between Adult Male and Female Cats

The anus and excretory organs are farther apart in male cats than in female cats. Male cats have testicles, while female cats do not. Female cats have better developed breasts than male cats. Male cats are generally larger than female cats, especially when compared with cats of the same age.

How to Tell the Cat's Breed

There are many cat breeds. You can identify the cat's breed based on cat pedigrees. As you interact with more cats, you will gradually remember their breeds. More specifically, you can judge the cat's breed based on its size and appearance. You can also determine the purity of its bloodline and genes.

How to Tell the Cat's Personality

Each breed generally has a fixed personality associated with it. For example, British Shorthairs are known for their good temperament and docility, while Persians are said to be intelligent and calm. Observe the cat's behavior. Cats with aaloof personality often act independently and rarely show affectionate behavior towards their owners. On the other hand, cats that love to pamper their owners will frequently surround them and enjoy being held.
