Sexing Kittens


I know from time to time some of us have the joy of sexing kittens and it can be quite hard as the sex change fairy does visit frequently and they look to be one sex one day and another another day.

I came across this website with two real pictures. One of a boy and one of a girl looking from behind and lifting up the tail. It really helped me to reach a decision on the sexes of mine so thought i would drop the link in here for anyone who might need it.

Thank you for the link Sarah! Meezers are really difficult though and don't look anything like that at all I've never got the sex of a moggie kitten wrong yet but I've really struggled with these meezer babies

Re: Sexing Kittens


Well those two must have been really good 'specimens' 'cos mine didn't look anything as obvious as that at all
