Dewlap?
Our rescue cat, Spike, has grown from a skinny, scrawny little runt into a massive tabby/tiger that can nearly suffocate me when she crawls onto my chest while I’m laying down. In the winter, she’s taken to growing an extra belly that flops from side to side whenever she runs… it’s quite mesmerizing, really, to watch as she makes her way across the yard.
Anyway, we were trying to decide what it’s called. Wattle isn’t appropriate because that’s on the head or face. Pannus seems to be too low. Dewlap, though technically under the chin and before the forelegs, seems more appropriate, mainly because when Spike is running across the morning grass, that flap of fat is lapping at the morning dew.
