And you know that we JUST had the
conversation about how much weight loss
is safe, and 1 pound a month is about as
fast as is safe.


Which is why it's not funny when you lie to someone who doesn't know
this and might think a two pound a month weight loss in a cat is fine
and dandy. That didn't stop you though, did it? You couldn't care less
about how what you say might affect others as long as you can engage in
your continuous garbage.

When you post information you have a responsibility to make sure it is
accurate. Misleading others in the name of game playing is scummy and
potentially harmful to cats. The regulars here know your motives and
that your agenda here has nothing to do with helping cats, and is to
disrupt and malign, but new people don't.

material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his

Truth hurts, doesn't it Mary? Attacking a very minor part of someone's
occupation when you have nothing of substance to say in response to
truth is the last act of desperation. FYI, you'll be cleaning toilets
for the rest of your life as well (as I can't imagine you'd find a
cleaning lady that would want to spend even a moment around your
miserable countenance) and you have no doubt done so in the past. If you
haven't I'd hate to think what the rest of your home looks like.

It's called a primordial pouch, or sometimes, a 'spay sway'.


Spay sway? LOL No Bag Sag? Belly Bag? Tummy Tank? Pooky Pouch?
Paunch?


Hey, I don't make this stuff up.

'Spay sways' come from the weight that altered cats put on
because their metabolisms slow down. Add that slowdown to the
American tendancy to overfeed our pets, and you get a primordial
pouch that is filled with fat that shouldn't be there, aka a 'spay
sway'.

I can only imagine the underlying cause of this fixation. Flabby
owner?


My boys are actively showing, so their primordial pouches are
*empty* as they are a lean and hard 13 pounds of solid muscle each.
However, because they're Bengals, having the pouch is important.

Some houses "look" very nice inside. IT's the wreak of incontinence (cat,
dog, or human) that turns my stomach.

It's not exactly a hammock -- it's a flap of loose skin. If
you look closely at
http://nik.ascendancy.net/bengalpage...retchedOut.gif
you can see a fold of skin right under Kefka's forearm that blends
down into his body and then another one on his left hind leg that
makes the join of hip to torso a smooth curve instead of an angle.

And, yes, it is a wild feature. As I said in my inital
response, it allows longer leaping and protection from fights.

Kefka is a handsome fella. :-) Do those underarm flaps aid his aeronautics
from high places? ;-)
