Yes, monorchidism is a bad thing - the undescended testicle is more prone to having problems than if it'd come down properly.

Unless you intend to breed him (and with cryptorchid/monorchid animals, the causes of this can be genetic, so even if you intended to) I'd think that the vet will suggest strongly that you have him neutered.

all think all cats should be snipped, unless they are for breeding and kept in the house.

male cats stink till they get the snip, mine is only 3 months old, but he defo having the snip at 6 months when he is old enough.

Unfortunately all I can think of is getting the snip. The only other way must be done when they are young so it's painless, but unfortunately he'll have nerves there now.
