The gender of a cat can be determined by looking at the distance between the genitals and anus, the shape of the anus and genitals, and whether there are scrotum testicles (balls). These methods are relatively easy to determine. Of course, you can also judge by looking at the cat's personality, face shape and hair. However, these three methods are not completely sure. If you want to be completely sure, you still have to judge by the genitals.

1. Look at the distance between the genitals and anus

Generally speaking, the genitals of male cats are farther from the anus, about 2 cm, while the genitals of female cats are very close to the anus, about 1 cm. . Therefore, the genitals that are farther from the cat’s anus are male cats, and those that are closer are female cats.

2. Look at the shape of the anus and genitals

The opening of the female cat’s external genitalia is triangular or flat, similar to the shape of a water drop, like an inverted exclamation mark (“¡”). The opening of the external genitalia of a male cat is round or nearly round, and looks like a colon (":"). Therefore, just by observing the shape of the anus and genitals, you can also determine the gender of your cat.

3. Check whether there are scrotal testicles (balls)

If it is an adult cat that has not been neutered, the judgment method is very simple, as long as you see the cat between the anus and urethral opening If there are balls, then it is a male cat, if not, then it is a female cat. In addition, even neutered male cats will still have a scrotum but no testicles, but female cats will not have a scrotum and testicles.

4. Look at the personality

The personalities of male cats and female cats are actually different. Male cats are more lively, active and playful, while female cats are more playful. They are relatively quiet and independent, and male cats are more clingy than female cats.

5. Look at the face

Because male cats are generally prone to gill hair, so their faces will be rounder and their bodies will be larger. Female cats don’t have gills, so their faces will look smaller overall and their bodies will be smaller than male cats.

6. Look at the hair

In fact, the gender of cats can basically be determined from their patterns and colors, but this cannot be completely determined. For example, calico cats and tortoiseshell cats are almost all female cats, and the probability of male cats is very small, while most orange cats are male cats. These are determined by genetic inheritance and are the results of scientific statistics.
