before you all start its not me who has this problem ive noticed today the big kitten who is 4 weeks old when she runs she has a swaying fat tummy underneath. probably nothing to worry about but ive never seen this before with any kittens. does she need a vet. she is with mum who has lots of milk and this kitten is big. any help please.

Now are you sure it's not you. I have a male Selkirk Rex who is well weighted but has a baggy undercarriage. Penny

you got me there penny well yes i do but mine is due to chocolate.
thankyou, ive been so worried last night but glad its normal for weighty kittens to have this.

Same here. I do not know if it is normal for kittens to have that anomoly although I believe BSH can sometimes get it..I'm sure one of those breeders can answer you better. Penny

took my queen and her kittens for a vet health check today as i was slightly worried about their hanging tummies.
of course the vet laughed and didnt charge me they are just chubby babies each weighing at 4 weeks old 1kg. ( yes i have written this right a massive 1kg.) greedy little monkeys.

That is a good weight. I thought you meant one of them had hanging skin,not all had fat tummies.Penny

sorry penny. yes only one of the kittens had hanging skin. she is fine though so i didnt need to worry.

I had this with a british kitten last year. She had her checks at vet and all was normal. Her owner also had her checked but her vet said it was fine just lose skin

That loose skin anomoly stayed on my blue selkirk male.Good job he is a hairy lad ..otherwise I would find it really annoying.Penny

My BSH has that too, makes her look to have little short legs
