Lump on cat's stomach
Hi I have 3 cats, 1 is 3-4 y/o female not fixed, had 1 litter of kittens
about a year ago, 2nd one is a 2 y/o male fixed and the other is a 8-10 wk old female kitten. Since the 2 adult cats have gotten used to the kitten being here and actually like her, the kitten seems to like nursing on the adult female. Has been going on for 2-3 weeks. Well now on the adult female's stomach in a big patch under 2-3 nipples there is a hard lump there that is painful to her to the touch. This has just developed in the last few days. Any suggestions of 1: how to get the kitten to stop nursing and 2: should I worry about the lump or just get the kitten to quit nursing and it'll take care of itself? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Remember life is not a box of chocolates it's a jar of jalapenos...what you do today could burn your ass tomorrow!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- |

Unspayed cats are at a high risk of developing mammary cancer, and the risk increases with every heat. This may be what's happining and was coincidental with the kitten nursing. You should take this cat to a vet ASAP for a diagnosis, and get her spayed as well. Your kitten can be spayed as early as 8 weeks, and should be done no later than 4 months so you don't risk her going into heat and getting pregnant, or developing mammary cancer or pyometra later in life.

The cat could have breast cancer, or it could have a mammary abscess, both
of which are common. Please get her to the vet. "Bill" wrote in message ...
