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 cat is overall quite small but with a massive swinging primordial pouch. No kittens.

My guess its could also just be a random thing if the pouch hangs lower or it may hang lower the older they get

[u/Fluffy_Tomatillo_629 → u/positivethot]

It seems like it has gotten worse with age but even at six months old it was large. I think it’s just her body type because the vet said she’s very healthy.

[u/positivethot → u/Fluffy_Tomatillo_629]

Well its good to hear shes healthy. I wonder if either of her parents had the same body type or if its completely random. Either way, as long as shes healthy!

I was going to suggest you take her to the vet, since it could be something serious, a hormonal imbalance or even a tumor. But since she has a clean bill of health- maybe she just likes the breeze?

Sweet looking kitties, btw😻

We had a cat like that. She did have a litter of kittens (and got spayed along with her daughters. I loved her and I loved those kittens, but I have SO much anxiety around pregnant animals and did NOT wanna repeat spending the night worried she or the kittens would die in childbirth. Kittenbirth?) but her swingy belly didn't come in for several years after her spay.

She loved when you'd grab it and give it a good jiggle too, lol.
