My neighbour has asked for my help to ascertain the gender of some Newborn kittens. I think it's boy, boy,girl. A stray has had the kittens in her outhouse. We spotted the pregnant Mum hanging around and have both helped out with feeding her over the last week or so and keeping an eye on her. The babies were born 2 days ago. My neighbour's sister is involved with the cat protection league and they have offered to spay mum cat in due course and neighbour is taking mum and babies to the cpl recommended vet on Tuesday.

If all is well, I have said I'll take one of the kittens.

Can you confirm the genders? I'm no expert! Sorry about the poop on the kittens bottoms.. The mum cat cleaned them up shortly after.

Thanks

All three look like boys to me.  Have they been vetted yet?  I'd be slightly concerned for that third little guy.  His scrotum looks a bit swollen.

Thanks for your reply. They had a vet check yesterday. The scrotum on 3 looks less swollen now. The vet didn't say anything about the scrotum on kitten 3. He just said they looked healthy and a good weight. He said it was girl, girl, boy ( opposite to what I thought). I am confused. I agree with ondine in that the first two look like boys (but vet says girls!!)

It is easier to tell in real life but they still look like boys to me!  You will know for sure pretty soon.  Glad the little one is less swollen today.

I can't tell by the pics, not close/clear enough. I'm usually great at telling, lots of experience......too much! :)
