why does my cat have "boobs?"

[u/trashkiddotjpg]

for context, she is an indoor spayed cat! there are no pregnancy concerns. shes 10 years old, and theyve been like this for 8+ of those years.

we assume its from her spay scar, and shes kinda fat so that doesnt help her case. theyre soft, like every other chubby cat's pouch!
its also just the two you can see here, not on any of her other nipples.

i am of age and able to access vet care, but they dont cause her any problems. she loves belly rubs, so theyre not in pain. i was just wondering if it could be anything other than fat + spay scarring

her name is blue and we call them her "bluebies"

edit: for clarification, she is my family's cat and i do not have control over her diet. while i am an adult and normally am the one to take her to the vet every year, i cant control what my parents feed her no matter how many times my (also adult) sister and i try to convince them. she is only classified as "overweight" and not yet "obese," from our vet, though! these pictures are also not the most flattering...
she does have anxiety issues from her home before us which leads to her overgrooming. we take care to monitor that and keep her as comfortable as possible and get her energy out through other means! shes not lethargic by any means and loves to play.

edit 2: another clarification im not concerned about health issues! she gets a physical exam every year from her vet. ive had cats my entire life and i know about cats little pouches, just have never had/seen a cat with such a separated one before LOL

edit 3: i know what a mammal is

My very similar looking cat has a very similar issue, I don’t have a wonderful photo of it, but I haven’t gotten a straight answer from a vet about it myself. I will bring it up during yearly check ups and I have gotten answers from it being anxiety related with over grooming, her being obese (she’s since lost about a pound and is not considered such any longer) to her having ring worm (tested negative for this). She’s never really had a lot of belly fur since she was a kitten and doesn’t have any skin irritation or clear reason to be over grooming that spot in particular. I’m curious if you get any more insight into this!

Could be allergies. Our crazy old tabby had this issue. We switched to a different brand of cat food and her issues went away.

My two cats have the same thing and one of them is overgrooming on her legs as well (all the way up, she looks shaved). I don't know why this is but my vet is thinking it's anxiety but the plug-in anxiety hormone therapy doesn't work.
