why do cats, most cats get that skin hanging down after they grow up when theyve been spayed? ppl keep telling me shes fat, in which she is not, shes 8 lbs. i think she needs more, lol. its like shes got saggy bewbies but had no kittens. i think she wants kittens tho. and i wanted kittens, but theres too many kittys that dont have homes. but, back to topic. how many of you have spayed kitty skin? is there a way they can work it off? or is it there for good?
I don't think it's anything to worry about.
It doesn't mean they are over weight.
Bella's got a little 'pooch' now, she's 2yrs old.
I would definitely not have them 'work it off' as they are not as obsessed with body image as many humans are.
:rolleyes: ;)
Julie is like that. She only weighs 11 lbs, and she is a good sized kitty, she isn't a big eater really (and she eats weight management formula food), but she has the flabby belly which makes her look more 'plush' than she really is. I just figured she took after me...haha.:D
All 4 of mine have that. Its completely normal and does not indicate she's fat. Abby is a mere 6 pounds, Harry is a huge 14 pounds, but active and solid muscle. Allen -- well he's different - he's 20 pounds of fat and his tummy sways when he runs. :D
I think all S/N cats have that, all mine do and Chesters is worse than the girls! It is a pretty normal thing and has nothing to do with how active they are or what they weigh.
we call it her royal chub......or her udders....LOL!:) http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...d/f5e27757.jpg you can kinda see (the royal chub) here. and again here:D http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...d/f51298c7.jpg
The only Cats,taht do not have that Bay Window,are Rocca,Sam,and John Hancock.The Others,all have Little Paunches,I thinks its nothing,to worry about,unless,they are the Moose,who looks like a Furry Football.

I've often wondered the same thing and as a joke I was going to ask my veternarian if he could give my Annie a tummy tuck, he would get a good laugh out of it for sure.
my kitties have that spay kittie skin and its just there for good i think its kinda cute it gives em a little character
Smokey the Younger and TicTac both have "udders" and TicTac is a BOY!:D
A friend of mine has two Ocicats and their pooches almost drag on the floor.
It's always been that way.:eek:
