In a dog forum someone is arguing with me that kitten testicles are not descended at birth, well every male I've ever had born was descended at birth.
Is this normal?

Under the cats, mostly.
I don't think there is much of a "rule" per se, Sprocket had one descended and one that hadn't, which is why the vet actually had to neuter the poor little guy twice!

I don't think there is a standard norm one way or another. I've never had a male cat, though, so I don't know anything about it. But I think it's probably six of one, half a dozen of the other!

Kittens are so small, its sometimes hard to tell. But I don't remember any of my rex kittens having decending testicles at birth - within a week you could tell.
