Loose skin

Hi Masihi, I see you've done well with your cat's weight problem. Congratulations! That's no easy feat. I have a cat who was a little fatty quite some years ago. I got her to lose weight but she has that extra little pouch hanging from her belly now due to gravity. Actually, it's not really that little. When she runs, if you're looking at her from behind, her loose skin looks like a cows udders swinging wildly from side to side. It's very comical. I don't think there's anything you can do about it short of having her fitted for a kitty corset. I mean, think about it. Even if we have a little flab on our stomachs, if you get down on your hands and knees it's gonna look like a whole lot more than what it really is. So, aside from being aesthetically unappealing, there's really no harm in it. And I'm glad to hear there's less rumbling from the rear but probably not as glad about it as you are.

I imagine cats are like humans in that respect. How her loose skin will behave will depend on how old she is and her general health. I'm sure it's nothing to worry bout though. Loose skin is an aesthetic problem rather than a medical one, surely?

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have a horrible case of the giggles...my little old lady, Murphy, passed a fart that was truly a killer!! My boyfriend, Bill, and I were sitting on the couch when she let one loose...talk about horrible!!! It was freezing outside and we had to open all the windows to get some air! It permeated the whole house! Kitty farts are hard to control! And they sneak out at the worst times. Khuay, one of my flame point Siamese would fart every time up picked him up (when he was a kitten), this kind of reduced the times you picked him up!!! Fortunately he grew out of the pick-me-up farts! But until he grew out of them I had to warn people not to pick him up, and I wasn't thrilled when he would jump in laps either because the farts would sneak out too! Unfortunately, short of plastic surgery, your little girl will have the "udders" that will swing back and forth, especially when she runs. It could reduce if she is a younger cat, but for older cats it's like older people who lose weight...they just kind of sag and bag.
