A few concerns for my kitty..

When I first got my kitty, Ollie, the lady who I got him from said she didn't know what gender he was, and it never actually dawned on me to look on a website to find out if he was actually a boy, I just did a look and it seemed like it to me, but now I am pondering if maybe my little Ollie actually might be a girl? He goes to the vet on Tuesday to get his shots and exam, so I could find out then, but also wanted to see if I could maybe find out beforehand so if he happens to be a she.. I can get a better name suited for a girl

Also, he has had loose stools the past couples days, I do give him 1 can of food a day (eats 3 times a day out of one can) and has some dry food in his dish to munch on in between, so I was a little concerned about the puckering of his anus and wanted to know if this was normal or not from his loose stools ( I know I'm going to the vet on Tuesday, but just seeing if I could find anything out beforehand, to give myself a peace of mind ) He also drinks water from his dish quite often, I also mix in a little bit more water in his wet food.

In the first picture it looks bloody, but I can assure you it wasn't, it must have just been a glare I also had to turn the flash off, so it could also be a result in my hands being shaky, ( It's not easy getting a cat to sit still while you take a picture of their bottom! ) I concluded a second picture that I took right before the first one to show that he doesn't have a bloody bottom, and to show you the pursing of the anus..

If it matters, he is 1 month and 3 weeks old.

Thanks again for your help

Here is a link to help you sex your kitten: http://www.pet-informed-veterinary-a...g-kittens.html .

As far as the diarrhea goes it be just about anything from too much water or his body not processing his diet hence needing a change of diet. It could also be from a major medical issue. In other words there are just too many choice for me to give a guess sorry.

No worries, I figured the other part about his loose stools would be more for the vet to check out on Tuesday, and as far as telling the sex, I tried looking at those diagrams and wa still confused, haha, but looking at those, my kitty doesn't have the big "sac" if it were male, so I honestly can't tell

Oliver is an Olive! (My mother's name, too.)

If you want you can take a picture of your kitten in the "rear end" area I can try and tell you the sex of the kitten.

I provided a few links at the bottom of this post with pictures of the behind

That is great . I do not see the photo's however . Is that cause I am having a blond moment or did you just not post the links ?

Sorry I am easily confused sometimes .

I didn't want to post them as picures on the thread so nobody would get a kitty butt in their face if they didn't want to

:O

AWWWWW. My little girl..
that's embarassing that I could not tell, I feel bad now
Looks like she is a little Phaedra then

Well you answered your own question . Sorry for the delay in responce times . But at least you got an answer to your question .

Also that was a fine way to post photo's. I am not sure many people here would mind a cat butt in there face .
