Just a big tummy?

**Lightning SuperCat** · 07-29-2005, 06:27 AM

Lightning has a big tummy. It sort of hangs down, if you know what I mean. He is not overwhieght in any other spot, and he's perfectly healthy.

I just wanted to see if he was wierd (like usual)

Thanks!!!!!!

LSC,

I know what ya mean. MooShoo's pouch touches the ground when he sits or lays down. See??

I think Lightening has an advantage in that he's got fur to hide his. Unfortunately, Moo doesn't.

My cats TicTac and Smokey both have "udders" which hang down. Smokey HATES when I touch hers!

Yes, this is very normal. Even my skinny boy Sunny who is an Aby mix has this.

I think it's due to being neutered but I'm not sure.

you mean their flubby? That's what I call it. Even skinny Mishi has one.

"Flubby"? I like that! Dylan has a pooch under his belly - it waddles when he runs and even his long fur does not hide it

It is a nice, normal flubby!! If he is just standing still - he looks very fit. Well sort of fit

Thanks-I was just curious. Lightning's "flubby" wiggles back and forth when he runs, too. It's so funny!

He just came up and asked what I was doing on the computer and not paying attention to him. I told him. He said not to write anything bad about him-his tummy is normal and he is NOT fat. Every other cat's tummy is just to small.

Thanks again!

This is interesting, I thought it was just female cats that got the pouch thing after spaying, as they got older, like a middle-aged spread. (Like some ladies get rather wide round the abdomen after a hysterectomy). And of course the "bingo wings" under the arms
