Answer 1

Your adult cat is simply taking over the kitten's hygiene.  He will start cleaning him too, and playing with him.  The play will seem really rough and tough, but it is mostly harmless.  

Answer 2

If the kitten has a "slit" or "line" from his a**s to it's other little hole, chances are it's a girl, if not, then it's most probably a boy.

It's hard to tell until their testicles drop, which is about 4-5 months old.

Regardless, if you're not using this moggy for breeding, you should have it desexed when it's about 7-9 months old.  This is the kindest thing you can do for your pet in the long run.

The sniffing thing is purely cats knowing who the other cat is and getting their scent straight in their mind.  Most animals do this.

Answer 3

Sounds like a boy to me ^.^

hard to tell though until his testicles drop. Wait a bit - and then you'll know for sure. Also spay/neuter "it" once you are certain what s*x it is ^.^

Answer 4

All kitties sniff each other's butts, gender doesn't matter for that.

Kitty testicles don't drop until somewhere around 5 months old.

Here's a good guide for how to tell kitten gender: http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?...

It is tough to tell before the testicles drop.
