What a beautiful kitten. If you look from behind and ask someone else to lift the tail, you will see your kitten's anus. This is normally an obvious round hole with a muscuar border holding it closed. This is also where the poo comes out. Below this, you can expect to find one of two things. A female will have a short, separate 'slit' very close to - and below - the anus. A male will have a second round hole, but depending on the size of the kitten, there could be a gap of between one point five and three centimetres between the two holes. The bottom hole is the end of the penis, which points backwards in a cat and the shaft of which is usually sunk into the surrounding tissues. There may or may not be descended testes between them, depending on the age of your kitten. I cannot see enough on this photo and am very wary of giving answers without enough context. I will have another look on a different screen later in case there is more to this picture than I can see.
