Have you ever noticed a soft, saggy pouch on your cat’s belly and thought, "Is my cat gaining weight?". If yes, you’re not alone! In fact, this is a common reason for owners worrying and bringing their cat to see a vet. However, there is no reason to worry. That little flap is called a primordial pouch, and it’s 100% normal. It’s not fat, it’s not a health issue: it’s actually a fascinating part of your cat’s anatomy that may help protect internal organs and store energy.
