I don't think it's as rare as you say. I've found it very common here in NZ.
I don't think there is a connection. My CH boy definitely had two testicles and I have never heard of another cryptorchid CH kitty. Cryptorchidism is not uncommon so it's probably just a random coincidence.Originally Posted by Mom of 10 Cats
Our CH boy Arthur is monorchid. The vet thought he was cryptorchid at the time of his planned neutering, but try as they might, they could not find the missing testicle!The final consensus was that he only has one, but the vet was reluctant to proceed with the neuter "just in case" it could ever be found on ultrasound, so that the next vet would know which was the missing one. So my poor little man only has one, and it's gotten big enough to fill the space where two normally go!
Wonder if there is any connection between monorchidism and cerebellar hypoplasia?
