My cats are a decent weight, but they have saggy pouchy bellies.Is that just age? Do they need to lose weight? I have just bought them lite food and they dont seem real thrilled with it. Their tummies are really droopy, tho.

I asked my vet about this very thing a couple of weeks ago when I brought my 15 mth old, neutered, Oscar in a couple of weeks ago. He said it's known in the trade as a "cat udder" *laugh* and that it's fairly common. Apparently, felines are prone to collecting fat in that area first. *smile*

yes, that is what it must be, they are spayed. Just like people I guess, we tend to collect fat there too! Their weights are good otherwise.
