Hi, my cat is 8 months old. She’s eating well, having no issues with her litter tray, she’s playful, etc.—basically just living her life. However, last night while I was stroking her tummy, I realised she had several lumps.

Could anyone tell me if this might be serious? I’m really worried... and since we’re in the middle of the Coronavirus pandemic, my vet isn’t doing consultations today. Thanks for your help.

I hope Momo's cat hasn't been knocked up by the cat from upstairs 😁

@Ulalie, Lizzza,

Alright then, back to being secular...

But anyway, Momo’s cat is still proper gutted!

Hi Momo, like the others, I think she might be pregnant. You haven't answered yet – has your cat managed to get out on her own at any point?

Hi, how long have these lumps been there? Did they appear overnight or gradually? If they came on slowly and feel soft to the touch, they might just be fatty deposits. Is your cat spayed? If not, it could be her mammary glands swelling because she's coming into her first heat. She’s young, so there is very little chance of them being tumours. To rule out things like a wound, an abscess, or cysts, the lumps would need to be checked for signs of inflammation or any discharge... Don't hesitate to mention it to your vet. Have a good day.

No, she isn't spayed; they appeared overnight.

Fair play, Blue Cat, I take my hat off to you. You’re officially part of the "feisty ones" club now. If there are any others out there, we’ll let them in too, right Liza?

Yes, alright, we’ll accept Blue, but only on the condition that her religious streak doesn't make her want to put us back on the "straight and narrow".🙅

We’re going to need some proof, some real action – this will be her probation period. Sound good, Blue?

The inner being here is a cheeky little hussar, a shrewd and bold urchin who isn’t fazed by anything, who lacks a sense of respect, and who believes they are equal to everyone. The skirts make no difference; you have to look at the soul. — Taine, Notes on Paris, 1867, p. 63.
