It is difficult to estimate how many years a male cat with cryptorchidism can live. How many years a male cat with cryptorchidism can live without surgery is not fixed and is mainly affected by its physical fitness. Cryptorchidism is a physiological defect of cats, and it is best to have it neutered, otherwise it may become cancerous.

Cryptorchidism refers to the condition where the testicles do not descend to the scrotum. It is one of the important causes of cat infertility and is hereditary. It is an important disease in breeding. Sperm is produced and stored in the testicles, and it needs to be 4-5°C lower than the body temperature to produce normal sperm. Normal testicles are wrapped in the scrotum and located outside the abdominal cavity. The temperature is several degrees lower than the body temperature, which is suitable for the production and storage of sperm. Excessive intra-abdominal temperature affects sperm production, resulting in the fertility of sick cats with unilateral cryptorchidism being usually lower than that of normal male cats, and sick cats with bilateral cryptorchidism are usually infertile.

How many years a male cat with cryptorchidism can live is unpredictable. Cryptorchidism is a physiological defect. How many years a cat with this condition can live depends on its physical quality, whether it requires surgery, and many other conditions. The cryptorchid testicles of male cats may fall into the scrotum on their own, but the condition of cats with different development conditions is different. Some cats will show cryptorchidism before they are four months old, but they will return to normal by about six months of age. If the male cat still shows cryptorchidism after adulthood, it is best to take him to the doctor for sterilization treatment. If the testicles remain in the cat's body for a long time, the possibility of testicular cancer will increase.
