How do you sex a cat?

[DustyDustBunny]

Hi, I was curious about how you would go about sexing a spayed/neutered cat. How can you tell the difference between grown cats if they have both been fixed? thanks for any help

On females there will be the anus and almost directly under it will be a slit. On males there will be a hole slightly lower and usually some sign of the...ehems. Hope this helps :).

Here are a couple of websites that explain it pretty well: http://www.vetinfo.com/csexcat.html, http://www.kitten-rescue.com/sexing_the_kitten.html. Good luck :)

if you are trying to determined if a female has been spayed one way is to shave the abdomen and look for a spay incision scar. with males it is pretty obvious if they have been neutered as they will lack testicals.
