Overweight? Or just a fluffy bone? 🙂 In fact, in most cases, cat belly sag is a necessary standard. But let’s see in what cases it is better to show the animal to the doctor.
Not all tummy tucks mean your cat is overweight and it’s time to switch to diet food. There are three cases where the big tail (it is called the primordial bag) corresponds to the concepts of the standard.
For the jump
Such a belly is a special fold in the skin that makes it easier for the animal to jump, especially the sharper and taller ones. The skin fold stretches and prevents injuries. And it also helps the cat to stretch and crawl through even very narrow cracks. Cats are liquid! Bubbling liquid 🙂

But the fluffy also has abdominal fat – such a reserve that will come in handy when hungry or cold. Of course, this does not threaten pets, but nature remembers that in general, cats are predators living in the wild. So they need a safety net just in case.
Bullet proof vest
And third, but no less important: the big tail protects the internal organs of the cat during fights against blows and sharp claws. The risk of dangerous injury tends to zero.

You see how simple it is! At the same time, of course, it is very important to monitor the health of the cat and immediately contact the veterinarian in certain cases.
- If the fold of the abdomen suddenly turned blue
- If, when trying to touch the cat’s belly, the animal bursts or meows plaintively in pain
- If you see that the stomach looks like a ball – urgently lose weight!
