Hi all,
Am getting ready to take 'Tang' to be neutered. He and his litter-mates were abandoned by their mom when they were about 4 weeks - longish story.
Recently he has developed a pouch. I looked it up before taking him into the vets and learned that for some cats breeds they are normal. My question is since he is a kitten and is of mixed breed (with some Siamese most likely) should I consider this normal. I don't want to take him in and be told there is nothing wrong, but I don't want to ignore a problem either. It does not seem to bother him in the least. He leaps and plays and is a normal active kitten. He is also quite loving by the way and available for adoption....you know just in case someone is interested.
The pouch is noticeable when he stands. Getting a shot of him standing without moving may be a bit tricky.
I am including a photo.
