Gotta agree with the rest. Rebel would be a very different cat if she weren't spayed. And probably a lot less happy one, considering I also have fixed males in the house. As it is, she rarely leaves my side, wants to talk on the phone when I'm on it, and is always underfoot wanting attention. The belly fur grows back. :) Hers is soft as it ever was.
Though she's developed a decidedly pear shaped profile as she's gotten older, she still romps around and isn't fat. You'll both recover just fine.
Oh, I know the fur grows back; it's just that she doesn't usually let me pet her there. (Well, I'll still have really hot days when maximizing surface area is more important than being picky about having her belly touched...)
