Has anyone else noticed this?
My big, big boy Dusty's fur looks like gills when I do this and I love it.
He's not quite as interested as I am, but that's okay

Of course. Those are gills. What you have there is a catfish.

MUTATION!!!
That's from rolls of excess skin, when you pull, the fur stays in the same shape, but the skin beneath flattens. Could be overweight, could just be older loose skin.

Cats and many other animals will have loose skin for defensive reasons.
Honebadgers can almost completely turn around even if you have a firm hold on it, making it hard to pin down.
It also provides protection from getting clawed.

My void has whiteish fur closer to the skin so it looks even freakier on him
