One of my cats (Xerxes) had diarrhea a few days ago and he got it all over himself, so I had to clean him up. When I was washing him up, I noticed that it looked like he had three testicles, which kinda shocked me since I never noticed before. I was wearing gloves, and I felt them to see if they were all the same texture and they were, and all three are about the same size. I've been doing a bit of research on the net and I found one case of polyorchidsm, which is having three testicles, in cats and I've not found any disease or any other explanation for this. So, my question is if there's some sort of disease that could cause this, or if there's anything else it could be.

Any help at all would be wonderful. Thanks, Amanda.

What I would do just to be on the safe side. Is have him examined by your vet. To make sure all is all right down in that department.Then you will know for sure..
