Question
Karen,
    How do you tell the gender of 6 week old kittens..Recent stray momma cat adopted us and had a litter. Thank You W. Maurer

Answer
Hi Wayne,

I'll explain it the best that I can. Keep in mind that I have 3 cats here named Diego, Spike and Toby that are all females. :)

Lift up the kits tail. You will see a big "O". That's the anus. Under that you will see either a little "o", (male), or a little line,(female). Hope this helped. Good luck.

Ciao, Karen
