Is there another (or actual) name for it? All I know is that Dot has a white flap, and it looks funny the way it sways back and forth as she walks away. I think it's charming. When my middle brother first saw Persia (she was very sleek and slender, but had the flap) he asked, "Is she pregnant?" Nope! Jill |

Or it can be a floppy dewlap in a slender kitty. But I haven't seen one holding kittens yet. |

They had a large cat who had one of those flaps, and when at one point he ran across the room, the flap was swinging back and forth in perfect time with the afro-latin beat. -- Joyce - Your mom and I are going to divorce next month. - What???

Is there another (or actual) name for it? Jill ~~~~~~~~ It is the primordial pouch. It often hangs lower and becomes more noticeable after spaying. It is also common in male cats but seems more noticeable in females. It is not fat or excess skin. The theory is that the primordial pouch serves as protection when cats get into a cat fight and one of the cats may use its hind legs to scratch on the underbelly of the cat it is fighting. MaryL Thanks for that information MaryL. Pipps has one of those primordial pouch's and she is 7 years old. Oh have ANY of you heard of the cat treat called Greenies? Charleen Welton sent us some for our cats and these treats have chlorophyll in them that make the cats go bonkers. The cats get the zoomies, and the Greenies can be purchased at PetPros, PetCo, Petsmart and other pet stores. The Greenies aren't too expensive, and we give our 4 cats a few each morning and at night. I wonder whatever became of Charleen? She was a sweet woman. Kyla |

MaryL Thanks for that information MaryL. Pipps has one of those primordial pouch's and she is 7 years old. Oh have ANY of you heard of the cat treat called Greenies? My neighbor gave me some and yes, Persia liked them. But she's on a prescription diet so it's a very rare treat. I used the soft Greenies as pill-poppers when she was ill and had to take medication. She caught onto that trick quickly. I could see the wheels spinning in her head. "Why is she giving me treats?" She quickly discovered there was a pill hidden inside and ate around it. The Greenies aren't too expensive, and we give our 4 cats a few each morning and at night. Kyla I grow four types of cat grass in a small planter for Persia every year. She's not particularly fond of the rye grass. But she devours the wheat grass, barley grass and the oat grass. It's like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUkdhzXjv1U Jill |
