Can cryptorchidism in cats show signs of estrus

After sterilization, cats will basically no longer show symptoms of estrus, such as urine marks everywhere, and the smell of urine is relatively strong, or their temperament becomes irritable and prone to fighting. (Cats that have just undergone neutering surgery may occasionally show signs of estrus because the hormones in their bodies have not completely subsided)

Cats with double cryptorchidism only appear to have no eggs on the surface, but in fact their reproductive systems are still normal, so they will still show obvious estrus behavior. ​​​​​​

Cryptorchidism can observe the penis

There will be some small barb-like things on the surface of the male cat’s penis. This is a manifestation of testosterone in the cat’s body. Cats with double cryptorchidism will naturally have these small barbs. In sterilized cats, the penis will disappear within about 6 weeks, and the penis will become smooth. This can also make it easier to identify sterilized cats and cats with double cryptorchidism. In other words, to see if a cat is neutered, just looking at the balls is not the most accurate way. You also need to observe the surface of the penis to make a decision.
