I have two kittens aged 5 months, that are meant to be the same sex, but their bits look different? One has quite lumpy bits sticking out, that could well be testes, but there is like a little hole in the middle of the lumpy bits, that also look a bit like a vulva!? The other cat seems to have the same lumpy bits, but it's shaped differently and I'm just wondering if this sounds normal, or one of them might be a female!?

Depending on it's age because usually you can't tell for a few weeks. The female will have a small slit and the male will have like a hole look. His testicles don't show for a while more.

The easiest way we at work have found to tell is when you look at them if it is a girl she will have more of a slit down there and if it is a boy is will just be like a single pinsize hole.

It's tricky when they're really young - my tomcat Sparkle spent the first few months of his life as a girl *blush*. Then, by the time he was the age yours are, let's just say there were a couple of "developements" and it became pretty obvious!
He's still a bit, ummm......confused - he still gets mistaken for a girl as he's just so PRETTY!

I once had a cat of mine have a litter of five kittens. For a few days I thought I was going mad because I couldn't determine their sex. It then occurred to me that they may be all the same, and they were...all female.

Male has a colon mark :
Female has an exclamation point ! (reversed of course)
I thought it was easy to figure out too when my cat had four kittens...

You can spot the difference this way: in females the orifice is slit-like, in males its round. good luck

I'd go with the lumpy bits.
