Hello!  You can actually do this for yourself.  If you look for two holes in your cats perinneum, one - the anus - directly below the tail and another lower down.   In a female, the lower one is a slit, not a round hole, and starts almost immediately after the hole for the anus finishes - there is no (or maybe a negligible cm of) hairy fur in between.  In a male, there is a gap between the anus and the second hole, which in a male is round and represents the end of the penis.  Sometimes one finds testicles or just the ghost of where the testicles once were / are going to appear, in the gap between the anus and the end of the penis.  I'm not allowed to sex animals for you online but I hope that that helps!
