Just to be certain, I'm talking about two sacs below his "poop hole" (for lack of a better term). Those are his testicles, right?
In the last year and a half, I have never noticed these sacs, and am sure I would have. So, is it normal for these sacs to be there or not?

Hi there yet again! The small sacs are the scrotal sacs which once contained the testicles. They look like little (forgive the term) "dingle balls". Neutering removes the testicles which were contained within the sacs.

Nope - but many vets leave the sacs so it appears to have testicles (some do, some don't). If you feel the sacs they will be empty. If you are in doubt, take the cat to the vet to be checked. There may have been a mistake and the wrong cat got neutered at the time or the office just missed him being scheduled (it has happened). Either way, the cat should be neutered or you risk him spraying all over the house and tom cat urine is next to impossible to get out of wood floors, rugs, carpets, etc.

After neutering your cat may still have excess skin. The testicles and the tubes that the semen flows through are removed during surgery. His testicles will not grow back. If there is a lump then he should go to the vet immediately. He may have an infection or something else wrong.

my cat was neutered, and it still looks like he has a bulge there. my other cat went in for a spay, cause there weres no visible testicles, only to find out it was a boy! in short- i guess all cats have different sized testicles, and some loose skin is inevitable. If the surgery was just done- make sure there is no swelling, redness, or heat coming from the incision site- that could mean infection.

When a male cat is first neutered it appears as if his sack has gotten smaller, but over time it certainly starts to fill out again.
They don't grow back, but it can be difficult to tell the difference between a neutered male and a non neutered male.
Typically, a cat who was neutered before he hit puberty will have a softer appearence to his face and will look more like a kitten. Males neutered later in life will have more body mass and "shields" around their face. These are furry larger masses around their neck and cheek area.

If your cat was neutered, his testicles were removed and they do not grow back. When your veterinarian performed the surgery, he probably cut into your cats scrotum and removed the testes and tied off the blood supply and vas degerens. He probably did not remove the entire scrotum, which is probably what you are seeing on your cat's backside.

Yes, and they don't grow back. If a vet is particularly skillful, or does laser surgery like mine does, it is actually impossible to tell the difference between a neutered and not neutered male. You have to do the touch test to be sure. Sometimes, that is better left for vets to determine. BUT...you already know, right?
Relax.

That is where they should be unless he is neutered. If he is, then it is just scrotum, which can still look like testicles. They cannot "grow back".
