Answer
This is an abdominal fat pad that MANY cats have. Even if the cat is a healthy weight this pad may still be there. It is nothing to worry about. and there is no way to get rid of it.

Does this have something to do with "living in the wild"...i.e. Does that serve as a barrier to injury during fights? No health risks involved?
Accepted Answer
There are no health risks if the cat is a healthy weight otherwise. It may provide extra warmth and protection to the cat.
