I feel so stupid, my family and I have had our newest kitten for about 1 1/2 mo now. She was born in June. We couldn't quickly determine the sex of the animal but we eventualy became certain it was female for a couple of reasons. One, their wasn't a penis visible (as their is in my small dog a yorkshire terrier), and two their are nipples present, however they don't have any protrusion, they are like dots. However, today, while it was grooming itself I saw what appeared to be the penis protruding from its area but became nonvisible once I picked up the cat. How can I be sure of the sex at this young age? Has anyone else ever made this embarrasing mistake? THank you.
