Fat Pouch

[smokey the elder]

It seems reasonable that a female would have an "udder" because they are removing lots of parts when they spay her. I don't know why males get them.

You can see Smokey's pretty well in this pic.

My husband's mother had a female cat with overactive sex hormones. Her boobs grew so big they would swing from side to side. This condition can be treated with medication. (The overactive hormones not the swinging!)

Well, mine doesn't really sway from side to side much, but it does shake when I laugh like a bowl full of jelly..........oh wait, you're talking about the CAT's fat pouches! My bad!

Zam is starting to get a pouch.

Playing with it is a no no. *laughs*

Edwina and I were discussing her pouch last night. (She is very peeved that I posted a photo of it!)

She asked that I examine it and assure all of you that is is VERY furry and not really as big as it looks in the photo.....

HE! HE! HE!

These are so funny and YES Bagel has 'swingy bits' too!! Hers also started to show when she'd been 'done'. Come to think of it Kisi (RB) also started to get 'swingy' when she'd had her op.,!!

Bassett has a pouch, but Tilly and Nutmeg don't. Bassett got hers after she was spayed, and I think they cut some muscle. Tilly and Nutmeg, though, didn't have any problems after their spay and they are both very active and in good shape. Bassett is a bit "fluffy"

My kitties have them too .... especially the females. I do think it may be related to spaying / neutering .... I know that I've have a pouch ever since I was "spayed" as well!

Oh well!!!

I used to think is was related to being spayed, but my boys have bigger pouches than the little girl. Also, while Joxer seems to be leaner than Sidney, he seems to have a bigger pouch.

Yes, Speckles has a pouch too! It's quite pronounced when she runs and you can see it swinging from side to side! Too funny! You can see how fat she is----well, not fat, but "full-figured"

Awww... Speckles, how I wish I could reach in and give you a nice tummy rub. I see you like to air out your tummy too, just like brother Max. Although with the front paws curled in, this is also known as the "working the room" pose, which tends to result in many treats being dispensed for being so cute. You seem to have the pose down pat so maybe that's why....

....ewes not fat, ewes fluffy.

I just noticed that both of my males, Tictac and Buddy, have "udders." Now whyintheheck would a BOY kitty have this??
