I have a male cat and he is about a year old. He is nutured/spade/had his "manhood" removed, and i got him from the animal humane society when he was just a baby. He had a broke leg, which now causes him to be a little less physical since it gives his a gimp. Anyways....he has this super fat sack which hangs really low by his tummy...its like...sagging skin covered in fur. and it waddles side to side when he gallops around. hes a strictly indoor cat, and has a decent diet, but he may be a little over fed, he whines if his bowl is completely empty...i feed him 3 times a day...using a little sized dixie cup to measure out his food...should i get him check out...or does this happen to indoor male cats who have been nutured?

ps...sometimes i like to pet his fat sack...it is soft and gushy..ha

It's just saggy skin, that's all. It comes with age and isn't anything to worry about. My 13 year old spoiled rotten cat has had hers for a long time. It flops back and forth when she runs. I call it her utter, lol, that's what it looks like to me. So, there isn't anything physically wrong with your kitty, he's fine. I'm sure he loves getting his utter rubbed and squished too!

Fat Sack

May not be the same, but my 14 year old girl had a fat sack too, it hung way down, it swung from side to side if she ran. I used to call her my little cow because it looked like a cows udder. I would pet it all the time and she was fine with that. I miss my little cow.

My male cats have that, even the skinny foster kitty has a little one. We call it a saggy bag. Maybe it happens because indoor kitties don't get as much exercise, they can get lazy. It's funny when they run though, watching it flop around.

It's called an 'apron' and is the kitty equivalent of a spare tire. A lot of cats develop this, for the same reasons a lot of people get chubby. Even if kitty isn't all that overweight but doesn't get a lot of exercise, he may develop this kind of paunch. Excess weight is no better for cats than it is for us, so please try to get his calorie intake down; better yet, try to increase his exercise. It may be difficult, since they don't use those gym membership cards...

It's stretched skin, a lot of cats have this, especially ones that are slightly overweight.

It happens on thin cats too though. All it is is loose skin, nothing wrong.

Is the cat by any chance a Bengal? If so, it could be their "pouch" Both of mine have it. It helps them run fasted and jump higher.

Ah yes, my cat is 11 months old and he has one of those. I call him "chubby tummy" and pat it, but he always gets offended and swats or nips at me. *lol*
