Step-by-step explanation:

Lift the kitten's tail. The opening just under the tail is the anus. Below the anus is the genital opening which is round in males and is a vertical slit in females. In kittens of similar size, the distance between the anus and the genital opening is greater in the male than the female.

Answer:

not enough information to tell

Step-by-step explanation:

One way you can tell this difference is the distance between the cat's genitals (organs seen on the outside of the body) and the anus. A male will have a much greater distance between the genitals and anus than females, 1/2 inch apart on a male kitten and over 1 inch apart on a male adult cat. However, if the two are almost adjacent on a kitten or less than 1/2 inch apart on an adult, it’s a female.
