How can I determine the gender of a 6-week-old kitten?

To determine the gender of a 6-week-old kitten, you can gently lift its tail and look at the genital area. Male kittens will have a small distance between the anus and the genital opening, which looks like a tiny dot. Female kittens will have a closer distance between the anus and the genital opening, which looks like a vertical slit.
