Generally speaking the intestines are either ventral (quadrapeds) or anterior (bipeds) to the vertebral column.
"Dorsal" refers to something on the back of the animal or toward the back of the animal. You can feel the spinous processes of the vertebral column on most domestic mammals, such as a cat or even a human. There is no room between those bone bumps and the skin for the intestines to hide.
"Ventral" and "Anterior" refer to something toward the belly of the animal. Intestines are close to the belly.
