How to tell the sex?Hmm we have got little Ellie home, aww she is sooo cute and affectionate.. BUT I am not entirely convinced that it is a girl, although I have never sexed kittens before. She is 16 weeks (approx) and seems to have a swollen area (testicles?) which I can only assume means it's boy.. but the RSPCA said it's a girl.. bit confused.. can anyone help???? So sorry if this sounds really daft, I just really need to know so I can name the kitten appropriately

Congratulations on bringing Ellie home!!  or is that Elliot   Generally, the space between the two holes is much further apart in males and closer in females. Some females can have little 'puffy' bits which could confuse. We've had a thread on here before about sexing kittens, I'll see if I can find it for you as there's some piccies to help you decide... |

Oh that would be great thanks Fran.. you see I have read that with a male the backside looks more like : whereas with a girl it looks more like ; which is definitely what Ellie (?) looks like.. but it's the puffy bits that are confusing me, they definitely look like testicles I wonder how much the vet would charge to tell me for sure  |

I've posted you a link above to a previous thread. Regarding the vet, most vets offer a free kitten check, give your vets a ring and see if they offer this service and they'll be able to tell you during the check  If you want to take some piccies and post them on here, I'm sure we'll try and help you decide |

I also am very sure it's a boy.. how on earth can the RSPCA get it wrong?! When we got Thomas 8 years ago "Ellie" went in to be spayed but came back neutered , so explains the name change to "Thomas"!Gaaaah I already have a housefull of boys, I was soo hoping to have a little girl.. ah well too late now I am already in love hehe.. it'll have to be a girl next time (if and when hubby ever allows it!!) |
