How do you look at male and female cats?
In the process of raising cats, many novice cat owners may be confused about how to distinguish male from female cats. While the gender characteristics of adult cats are relatively obvious, for kittens or certain breeds of cats, telling the difference between male and female may require some skill. This article will combine the hot topics and hot content on the Internet in the past 10 days to introduce in detail how to distinguish male and female cats, and provide structured data for reference.
1. How to distinguish male and female adult cats
Gender characteristics are often more obvious in adult cats, especially unneutered male cats. Here are the main differences between male and female adult cats:
| Features | male cat | female cat |
|---|---|---|
| body shape | Usually larger and muscular | Relatively small and slender |
| facial features | Wider face, thicker chin | The face is pointed and the chin is narrow |
| reproductive organs | Have visible testicles (not neutered) | The vulva is a vertical line |
2. How to distinguish male and female kittens
The gender characteristics of kittens are less obvious than those of adult cats, especially in the first few weeks of life. Here are the main differences between male and female kittens:
| Features | male cat | female cat |
|---|---|---|
| genital distance | The anus and genitals are far apart | Anus and genitals are close to each other |
| genital shape | Round or dot-shaped | a vertical line |
3. Common misunderstandings and precautions
1.Coat color has nothing to do with gender: Many people think that calico cats must be female cats, but in fact there are a very small number of calico male cats (usually caused by chromosomal abnormalities).
2.Gender characteristics of neutered cats are not obvious: The testicles of neutered male cats will disappear, and the vulva of female cats may also become less obvious. At this time, other characteristics (such as body shape and behavior) need to be used to assist in judgment.
3.Be cautious when identifying the gender of kittens: The gender characteristics of kittens will gradually become apparent a few weeks after birth. It is recommended that the judgment be made after the cat is 4 weeks old.
