I would be more concerned with why he has lost weight. A cat who loses weight so quickly that his skin is loose may be in serious trouble. It is very dangerous for a cat to lose weight that quickly, especially a cat who is overweight. Liver damage is very common when that happens.

Please take you cat to the vet for blood work and a medical evaluation.

Something is wrong.

 

PLEASE take him to the vet. I might be being overly paranoid, but that's exactly what happened with my cat, and it turned out, he had diabetes, get your kitty to the vet!

 

I think the OP has been TRYING to get their cat to lose weight, no need for panic.

My girls are all small, but they have that saggy skin, it's normal, but I can't remember what it's called, but it allows cats to move and stretch and be flexible.

I call it a doodle. It's nothing to be alarmed about. I don't think it will go away though.

 

Even if they have been trying to help the cat reduce, a cat should not lose so much weight so quickly that his skin sags. It should be a very gradual process, and the skin will have time to develop the proper elasticity.

Of course if they are talking about the loose flap of skin under the belly that is normal for most cats, that is a different issue, but they did not say that.

 

If you'd read their other posts, you'd see it was gradual and on purpose.

 

I call it their 'udders'. :luv

I did not see the other thread. I was responding to the only details posted in this one.

Anyway, the information I posted is is accurate and on topic. Whether a cat is on a weight loss program or not, a cat should not lose weight too quickly. 2 or 3 ounces a week is safe. And unexplained weight-loss should be investigated.

 

Munch has finally gained enough weight that he doesn't look starved... but he's getting one of these. Makes him look fat lol. He's not and they are perfectly normal, but it annoys me, lol

 

yes the cat has been losing weight gradually over several months. The skin sagging is not extreme, just a bit under his tummy and its more noticeable how it expands out when he lies flat on his stomach
