Crossed eyes is a relatively common hereditary condition in cats, most common in siamese cats, cats with blue eyes, or other breeds closely related to the siamese. If it is hereditary, there is no concern or treatment, and the cat can still live a normal happy life, even with vision that's a little off. But crossed eyes can have other causes as well, such as disease or physical trauma, and those things might need to be treatment. Therefore, if you haven't already, consult with your vet about your cat's condition, to make sure that no treatment is necessary.

If its crossed eyes are indeed hereditary, it's definitely not going to spontaneously recover, as that condition is permanent. However, there are different circumstances in which the crossed eyes can be more or less pronounced. The condition is more or less noticeable when the cat is focusing closer or farther away, for example. There is also intermittent crossed eyes, where the eyes become crossed when the animal is tired or sick, but other times its eyes will track normally.
