Trying to find some insite on if something is wrong with my cat. She is about 1 year and 3 months old. She has not been spayed yet. She is developing this hang down place under her below her stomach. It seems to be growing over the last few months. It hangs down pretty far and is noticable when she walks around...about a few inches from the floor it hangs down. When you touch it, its pretty much a handfull and it seems to be just a bunch of flabby loose skin. It does not seem to be her stomach....it seems to be lower down her.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this...she does not seem to be in pain of any type from it???

Also she has never been outside and never been around a male cat so she cant be pregnant.

My roomie thinks that since she is not spayed and goes in heat pretty often...she is producing milk.....is that whats happening? Is that possible since i know she is not pregnant???

First of all welcome to the site!

There are many reason that your cat could have this problem....it could be a weight issue or it could be a sign of something more serious.

There are many complications that can occur from not having a cat spayed here is just a short list

I would suggest calling your vet and getting her in for a checkup. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

I second this - best get her in and looked over.
