Did you know...
The primary sack is the abdominal sagging that some cats have in the belly. A kind of hanging skin that even moves when you walk. Do you want to know what it is for?
The primordial bag or primordial sack (in English, Primordial Pouch, Feline Pouch or Cat Belly Flap) is located in front of the cat's hind legs. It is an excess of skin and fat that resembles the typical flaccid skin that is left to people who lose a lot of weight.
If you have seen that your cat has this pelt in the abdomen that moves in the form of a pendulum when it walks, you will surely be wondering if your cat has been or is very fat.
Feline overweight is a common reality and it is important that you review it, but if you are guided only by having seen this flap, know that it has nothing to do with weight.
What is the primary bag for?
This sack is another inheritance of the wild origin of cats, and is said to have 3 main utilities:
-Protection. By having this additional layer, it has an extra permanent shield. This is especially necessary in the fight. When cats fight they usually put a belly up. And they do that typical of scratching with the hind legs ("playing the guitar" we call him at home, affectionately). In the part of the belly there are many important organs, so this additional shield is an advantage.
-Freedom of movement. Excess skin makes the pussy more elastic because, when necessary, it stretches like an accordion. Thus, cats can take longer steps and gain speed when running.
- Food store. Wild cats do not know when they are going to eat again, so this allowed them to keep reserves.
