Me and my husband took in this adorable stay about 5 months ago. She was probably 3-4 months old at the time. Since then, we've gotten her spayed, de-wormed and up to date with her shots. She's very active, around us but skittish to visitors, loves to eat, chases our other cats around and overall seems normal.
There's just one thing that I've never really came to terms with. She has a rather large and very firm belly. I've taken her to the vet once regarding this issue. The vet examined her and gave her a clean bill of health, but I'm still not so sure. It could be my paranoia but everything I've read about firms bellies is not good. She is not pregnant because she has been spayed.
I need some expert advise. What should I do? She acts completely NORMAL, is not lethargic in anyway, meows a lot for attention and does normal cat like activities. I've also read that if it was parasitic, her spine would be very exposed. When feeling for her spine, they are slightly hidden; indicating that she is indeed a little butter ball but I've had a fat cat before, his belly was big but also soft and saggy, not firm like punching bag. Thoughts?
Thanks,
