It is always tricky to determine the sex of a kitten, but rule of thumb would be: If it looks like an upside down exclamation point with the long slit of the vaginal area below the anus, then it's a female, which to me looks like the one in the photo. :)

Some here with more knowledge may reply. Congrats on your new kitty. :redheartpump:

It’s a female, and it looks like she has poop on her tail. You’ll want to help her keep herself clean since she’s a long-hair! :)

Floofy kitties are hard, and tabbies tend to have dark markings that can make things confusing. I partly want to say female because it looks like a slit plus testicles should be more obvious at this age, and partyl want to say male because there sure seems to be a lot of room between the anus and the genitals, and in between could possibly be baby testicles.

So, yeah, have the vet take a look. Much easier in person than in pictures.

Yeah its so confusing! I wouldn't even have noticed any different if it wasn't for something poking out the wee hole 🙊🤣

I can say your kitty most definitely looks like a "he" :) Has your vet concluded on the sex yet?
