Kitten's beer gut

Post by JessK »

My 4-month old kitty has recently developed a floppy, saggy belly. Is this normal? It's far back, like almost between his hind legs and it gives him sort of a flabby look, though the rest of him is very skinny. Is that normal shape for a cat--seems like other cats I see don't have such floppy tummies. It is very soft.

He eats pretty well--only dry Eukanuba kitten food.

Thanks for any comments.

Can't discern merely based on your post...when in doubt please see your vet promptly. Has he been neutered recently?

No, he hasn't been neutered yet. He acts healthy--very energetic. Just has a floppy gut.

If it is just floppy skin, not bloated belly, it sounds like he is okay. I usually associate that with an older cat though.

When I was growing up, my old Siamese, Thomas, had it. When I asked for my first bra my Mom said, "If I get you one, I have to get Tom one!" It was quite embarrassing for me.

Perhaps the cat needs a bra! Just kidding.
