My cat lost a testicle in a fight; something like 10+ cm of intestine is protruding from the scrotum, but it still eats and poops.

If a cat loses a testicle in a fight, see a vet promptly to treat the wound and avoid infection and inflammation. The thing protruding from the scrotum that looks like intestine is likely the spermatic cord, which carries sperm, blood, and nerves. For now, restrict the cat’s activity to prevent the wound from rupturing or getting infected.
If the cat licks the wound, put an Elizabethan collar on it. Finally, if a vet visit isn’t convenient, rinse the wound with saline and disinfect daily with iodine, keeping it dry and clean.
