I think ALL animals develop heavier coats in the harsher climates - it helps them stay warm (or cool) and safe from the elements so you are not imagining it.

So, unless it was the angle of the pics, does she look like she has wings growing out her sides?

I guess she gains weight in an odd way.

She was odd looking for couple of days hence the vet visit.  The vet was quite thorough in his examination. The day I got her to the vet she didn't look quite as bloated if that is the right word. She is a sleek, shiny and smooth coated cat so perhaps I notice more.  The others have more of a very slight fluffy coat even the kitten has same type of coat.  What is interesting is that Mindy is the only one that came from a different area.  It almost as if the other cats/kitten had developed a coat to help them survive the harsher Coastal weather - if that makes sense?  They are all feral kittens.  Of course at 4 months Misty has not really developed so it could all change coat wise

Cats come in a variety of types of coats.  Your fluffier cats probably have a long haired ancestor.

It is interesting how cats from one area tend to be different from those from another.  The cats one of my brothers took in were big boned, large cats, with rounder shaped head.  Mine mostly tended to be slender, finer boned cats, with more triangular shaped heads (under their fur).

My Little Girl looks EXACTLY like Mindy.  She's a calico. Mostly white with patches and a masked face with a white nose.  Her coat is the same too.  LG will be 2 yrs old in May.  She has the same little pooch hanging too.  I attribute that to living 'the good life'. 

I, too, worry ALL THE TIME.  Anyone that knows me will tell you that.    As long as she's acting normal, you don't feel anything weird and the vet told you she was okay, I wouldn't worry.
