Understand Fat Pads Near the Cat's Udder Region

Video Transcript

Hi! I am Dr. Adrienne Mulligan. I am the owner of Camp Verde Veterinary Clinic, and I am here today on behalf of expertvillage.com. I am here to speak to you about breeding cats. This is another breed that is very well worth breeding, very popular. This is the largest breed of cat; they are called Maine coons, and they are very sweet cats, even though they are very big. And this is a boy, but what I wanted to show you with him… will you turn and look at the camera and see what a handsome boy you are. Now I have him shaved; he is a longhaired cat in general, but I have him shaved, because he had some skin problems. And what I wanted to show you with him is that cats have natural fat pads that usually hang down, back in the udder parts…And can you see that; does that work. They hang down like this, and a pregnant cat won’t hang down like this. These are fat pads that are normal in a fat cat, and this cat is just plain old overweight, and he has these thin hanging down fat pads instead of that nice taut, rounded appearance like Holly had. So when you are looking at a cat for pregnancy and you see these fat, they look like enlarged mammaries, this is just fat pads. A pregnant cat is going to be rounded and not have this fatty stuff.
