In another lesson, we learned about Earth's four spheres. These are the geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and atmosphere. Together, they make up all of the components of our planet, both living and non-living.
All kittens should be born with two anatomical openings just below the tail. One is the anus and the other one is the genital area. The primary way to tell a female kitten from a male kitten is by comparing the distance between the anal opening and the genital opening. Rarely, a kitten may be born without an anus. This is a birth defect and is considered very serious and life threatening.
The visible differences between young male and female genitalia can be more subtle than in adults. But when you know what to look for, sexing a kitten doesnât have to be difficult. A vet's opinion can help you feel more certain, though even veterinarians can occasionally mistake the sex of a kitten.
