Generally speaking, the balls of a 2-month-old male cat can be touched. If not, there is a possibility of cryptorchidism. The testicles of male cats generally appear gradually around 2 months of age, and the presence of testicles can be clearly seen by 4 months of age.

However, some male cats will develop cryptorchidism due to developmental defects, that is, the testicles fail to pass through the inguinal canal according to the normal development process. It descends along the peritoneal sheath process to the scrotum and stays in the abdominal cavity and groin on the way down.
