soft lump/sac on kitten

My kitten is 4 weeks old and has a soft sac similar to a lump on its abdomen which hangs between its back legs. i have been told it could just be excess fat which will go away as the kitten seems to be perfectly normal otherwise. its a soft sac like thing i wouldnt describe it as a lump exactly it moves as the kitten runs and walks. It doesnt seem to bother the kitten but it makes her waddle a tiny bit. PLEASE can someone tell me what it is!
Thanks

Welcome to the site...was it the vet who told you that it could be excess fat??

It sounds like the little saggy belly that kittens sometimes get (and sometimes keep). If it was the vet who told you what it was, I would go with that.

I have the same thing with my current litters. I was rather worried about it, but since they are all clearly active and appear healthy, I was going to wait until the 6 week old check up.

Today a vet tech met them (and chose 2 to adopt ) and said that it is simply a fat pouch. My 9 kittens have 2 Mom's nursing them, and I'm sure it is just all that good food.

Here is a pic of "T", my tortie girl who had the worst pudge!


Here is one of the younger tabbies showing off the pudge!


I will add the disclaimer...if you think something is odd or unusual about a cat, or especially a kitten...the prudent thing to do is call or visit your vet!

My five kttens have the same thing at 4 weeks and they just started to eat dry food I don't think there is anything wrong since they all five have it.
