This sounds like a silly question but this is my first time owning a cat, and I know close to nothing. The kitten is estimated to be around 10 weeks old. I assumed my kitten was a girl but after looking closely, I'm second guessing myself and want to be sure.

I am sorry for the unpleasant picture but I felt it was the easiest way to get an opinion.

Thank you!

It looks like a boy. The penis appears round in a kitten, the vulva will be slit like. Plus there is a scrotal sac between the penis and the anus. In girls the distance between the vulva and anus is shorter.
