Hey there feline friend,
I've never had pets until now, my son wanted a kitten, so we rescued two of them. When we first got them 5 months ago, they were so tiny and prescious. Well, needless to say, they have probably doubled in size. Artie is 10 mos old and 10 pounds. Sasha is 7 mos old and 6.5 pounds. I feed them 1/2 cup each every morning and every evening. Lately, I have noticed this (for lack of a better word) "kangaroo pouch" hanging between their hind legs on the stomach. I can grasp a whole handful of this loose, hanging, skin/fur, pouch. I'm wondering is that is a normal stage in their development? Will they grow into this fleshy part of their stomach? I'm probably going to be on this forum alot asking dumb questions like this all time. Having these 2 new little angels/devils in our lives has enriched us beyond what I could have ever imagined. I want to make sure I do everything right, for their sake and their health and well being. Thanks to anyone who can give me some insight. Take Care....
