Two of my cats developed flabs of fat on their lower stomach after being fixed. It's normal--my friend's cat has one too. Both were fixed very early and developed it early. My friend's cat and one of mine were very inactive, so they both weigh nearly 15 pounds. My friend's cat was female that developed it, and I had a male and female who developed it.
Our third cat, on the other hand, was fixed very late and is very, very active and if he developed some fat, I never realized it. This cat weighs 10 pounds and is very muscular.
But if the flab is somewhere other than the lower stomach, you'll want to talk to the vet about it. But if the vet isn't concerned, it most likely is from fixing the cat.

maximum of solutions... dude you're very youthful. do no longer say that "i'm a student so i are not getting time for something". you have each and all the time. consume regardless of you choose to. purely go exterior in night and play some exterior video games. especially soccer, Badminton, Cricket etc etc. Play as much as you may. Play soccer each and daily for an hour or 2 and you will see the variations.

Older cats, especially males, have "flab flaps" All of my cats have as the have gotten older, vets dont seem to worried, if you are worried however, just ask the vet.

Seems that all fixed cats develop this pudgy belly. Its nothing to over worry about just make sure you control his diet and try not to give in to begging too much.

Hmm...the fact he is a male kind of stumps me. I know my female cat, Pumpkin (who was round like one, too- wink) had a really flabby spot on her belly- because of the hormone thing (humans get them, too, after hysterectomies)
Could this be the same for yours, except in a male way?
Good luck.

I'm not sure what causes this, but both my cats have it, and most of the older cats at the humane society has it. It's harmless.

The vet wasn't concerned? I can't exactly picture what you mean, but if he has a "hangy belly" and isn't in any pain or distress, and the vet isn't worried, what is the concern?

Almost all cats have that. it is no big deal. it just means they aren't as fit as some cats or that is just the way they are. don't worry about it unless it gets really big and scarry looking.

i dont know, but my cat has that too, but shes a girl. i think its okay, because maybe its just extra skin for it to grow more. if its an orange cat, it will get fatter.

It is because he is "fixed" they give the cat an operation to take away his strength, courage, ambition, drive and will to live.
