Hi everyone! So my kitten Juneau has this flappy skin thing hanging near her abdomen. I'm not really sure why it is there or if its a health concern. I also don't know how old she is because we found her recently outside in the snow. Our guess is she is around 4-5 months. Please feel free to ask any questions and leave any advice! Thanks :)

Has she been to the vet for a general wellness check up yet? If not I think that would be the best place to start :)
No not yet, but thanks I'll do my best to get that done as soon as possible :)

If she's spayed, that's called a "spay sway" and is just extra fatty tissue.  I have four cats and most have it, even my male cat.  They are all spayed or neutered.

Most cats have that pouch of loose skin. I don't know why, but they do. It's unusual if they don't.
