Usually the distance between the female cat’s genitals and anus is relatively close. The distance is generally about one finger width and 1 inch below the anus. There is a vertical vaginal opening at 1 cm, and the urethra is inside the vaginal opening. In male cats, the distance between the two is relatively far.
