The Belly Pouch, also called Primordial Pouch, Abdominal Fold or Belly Flap is a just a loose fold of skin over the belly area. Most domestic cats develop these and its completely harmless and normal. It is not necessarily related to a cat being overweight, either.
It is unclear why cats have these folds of skin, but there are several theories:
- It is used to store extra fat and nutrition - similar to when wild animals stock up fat reserves ready for winter and there is little food around.
- Allows extra flexibility when the cat is running, hunting and other activities that require a lot of movement.
- Finally, the extra skin could serve as an extra protective layer around the belly area when in fights.
