You can tell if you look at a kitten it’s are walking away from you with its tail up.

Check the dark markings under the tail:

* If they look like a colon (:), it’s a female.

* If they look like a lower-case i, it’s a male. The longer mark is where the scrotum develops.

How nice for you! If possible, when it’s a little older, contact a university genetics department near you and see if they want a blood sample or a hair follicle. Male calico cats sometimes have three sets of chromosomes (XXY) and they are often sterile. And cat genetics is not completely worked out.
