2 Week Old Kitten Gender

Let s take a look at the best way for pet parents to determine or confirm the sex of their kittens.

2 week old kitten gender. The color of the kitten may suggest its gender. I find the best time to determine a kittens sex is either when they have just been born still wet or when they are about 2 3 weeks old. While assessing your kitten s gender it is necessary to minimize stress. For male kitten the distance is further below anus while the female one is closer and higher up to anus.

Female kittens have a lesser anogenital distance than do males so you can use the distance to distinguish the sexes. A male kitten s genital opening is further below the anus. Moreover you need to check the distance between the openings. More orange kittens are male than female although the association between color and sex is not as strong as in the calico tortishell colored kitten.

Almost all but not all kittens of calico black white and orange or tortishell black and orange color are females. Start by picking him up gently petting him and snuggling him close to your body. If your cat is 8 weeks of age or older the procedure is fairly straightforward. When comparing a male and female kitten together the differences are usually fairly obvious but imagine having a litter of boys or a full litter of girls.

A female kitten s genital opening is placed higher up and closer to the anus. Check the distance between the openings. So don t get too anxious to determine the sex of your kittens.
