Okay so when I first adopted my two babies I thought they were males because the people I adopted them from told me they were males and I didn't know how to sex kittens but I do know males are supposed to have testicles right? But just now I was playing with them and I realized that they don't really have testicles and now I'm wondering if they're actually females. I'll post their pics here and I hope someone can tell me if they're a female or a male. Thanks!

How old are they? Testicles drop once they reach a certain age.

It can take up to six months, but they're probably girls. Your vet can confirm when you take them in to be spayed.

The kitten in the pic definitely looks like a female to me! :)

Yeah that's a girl. Does the other one look the same? At 3 months, testicles should be visible on a male, unless the cat is cryptorchid (retaining his testes inside the body).

Yep, girls. Those little poofs of fur in between there can fool people into thinking they're boys. . .but the sure sign is the opening is a slit---a boy's opening is just a little dot.

Ahh yes I thought the poofs of fur are testicles. Thank you so much! All these while I've been calling them with male names and they never respond hahahaha I finally know why

I had a problem with the litter I was blessed to care for. Is it possible to have a litter that is all male?

Lol that was a typo. It was suppose to be *that problem. I originally thought two were girls, but not I'm 95% they are all male.
