No, "kitten" is not a gender; it's a term for a young cat. Gender refers to the sex of the kitten, which can be either male or female.
To determine a kitten's sex:
- Lift the kitten's tail.
- Locate the anus: The opening just under the tail is the anus.
- Observe the genital opening: Below the anus is the genital opening. In males, it's round, while in females, it's a vertical slit.
Think of it this way: "kitten" is like saying "baby" or "child" for humans. It describes the age, not the sex (gender).
