Hi

This has probably been raised before so I apologise. My brown marbled Bengal Is going to be a year old in a few weeks. Concerned about his tummy though. It's super fluffy and long haired considering the rest of him is silky short and sleek. Is this normal?

His stomach is saggy too and i've read this is a natural thing adapted from the big cats, but his seems to have got bigger.

He's 5kg and on 65g food from a timed bowl so he's not grazing, he goes out too. Is this normal that it's big?
Sorry a few questions here but when he sits it just looks worse. Do you think I can reduce it?

Thanks

Aww bless. Well it was worth a try, just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything I should be doing.

Many bengals have a primordial pouch! In fact, then I first saw Raiden, I thought he was a female who had given birth to kittens. He has a real saggy one -- he's 8 years old. In wild animals, the pouch allows the cat to feast on a catch and store the extra food in case there isn't another catch for a file. It carried over to the bengal. It's nothing to worry about. Cats normally have longer fur on the stomach.

As Viperkeeper has also pointed out in the past, it also allows them to stretch and jump. Max looks like he carried 4 litters in the past, his is so saggy.
