How can you tell if a newborn kitten is a boy or a girl?

    i need help on telling apart the girls and the boys.
    i think i know.. but im not so sure.

    well my sisters cat.. (Foxy).. had 4 kittens and she had one that looks like my old cat that suposably got taken.. orange fur.. but maybe a little darker. and they good news is that we're keeping him. I dont think he'll get as big as Friskie was.. because Foxy still looks like she's 5 or 6 months old when she's already a year.

    i have found that it's really easy to sex the kittens when they are really young (under 2 weeks). how old are your kittens? the males appear to be *all* genitalia at this point and it's pretty easy to discern what sex they are -- not sure if this is because they aren't quite as furry yet or if they just haven't started growing into their "stuff"!! :shock:

    just flip each kitten over -- on the boys you should see a definite area where testicles will start growing in, as well as a little bump just below that area. i'm assuming you have more than one in the litter, so a good comparison between kittens should help you sex them as well.

    they are all 3 days old today so.. and when my cat had her kittens 2 years ago.. i read that it was easier to tell if they were male or female when they were newborns or.. very young.

    Are there eyes open yet? Do you have any pictures of them that you can post?
