​I don’t know if you have noticed it,

Cats obviously don’t look fat, but why

Is there a loose piece of meat hanging on its belly?

Just like our human “little belly”!

Can you mop the floor while walking?

Is the fat version of Ge You lying on the sofa?

The weight is up to standard! The physical examination is normal!

Is it a hidden disease? Or is it underlying obesity?

Don’t worry! It’s not the case!

This little belly is the original characteristic of cats.

Although it looks like fat,

But it has a very powerful function~

Not just cats, there are other big cats too,

Such as tigers and lions~

In fact, there is a very professional term for "little belly".

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Also known as the primitive bag, it is the excess skin and fat layer on the cat’s abdomen.

When walking, it will sway, like a small bag~

This "original bag" is very common among domestic and foreign cat breeds.

And it won’t disappear due to weight loss and sterilization!

1. Play a protective role in battle

When cats fight, their hind limbs will kick each other in the abdomen.

This loose original bag can be used in case of danger.

​Making their flexible skin difficult to grab,

It can also protect their fragile internal organs.

2. Free activities

The original bag in the abdomen allows cats to run, walk,

Easier to stretch and move when spinning or jumping.

It can increase their hunting speed!

If you have lost your "little belly" because of abdominal surgery,

​That may affect the speed at which they move.

3. Store food

The original bag can expand the storage space for cats when eating!

Take a big cat like a lion as an example.

They can endure hunger for several days after a big meal,

It’s because of the original bag,

Can provide some additional food storage capacity,

Help hungry them pack the most food!

In fact, obesity is a problem for indoor cats.

It is a serious and growing health problem!

​We can observe it through the following methods,

The difference between original bag and obesity!

The primitive pouch is a loose flap of skin located under the abdomen.

It can be observed from the side of the cat walking,

Will keep shaking according to the pace,

But when looking down at the cat,

This original bag is hard to see!

The belly of an obese cat is round,

​And when walking, the "little belly" will not shake,

Parents who worry that cats’ sagging is due to obesity,

You can go back and observe!

In short, a shaky "little belly" is a normal characteristic of cats!

If they are of normal weight and can eat and drink

And if you are in good health, you don’t have to worry too much!
