A hard lump in a cat’s belly may be caused by constipation, foreign body obstruction, tumors, etc. First of all, if the cat’s daily diet is relatively dry and the daily drinking water is relatively small, the feces will become dry, leading to constipation. Secondly, when a cat swallows a foreign body, the foreign body blocks the intestines and causes a hard lump in the stomach, which requires surgery to remove the foreign body. Finally, if the cat shows howling, resisting and other behaviors when pressing the hard lump with your hand, it may be that the cat has a tumor in its body. It is recommended that the owner take the cat to the pet hospital as soon as possible for examination and symptomatic treatment. ​​​​​​

　1. Constipation

If a cat usually eats too much or eats too dry food and drinks less water, it will cause constipation. At this time, pressing the cat's abdomen will reveal strips of stool. At this time, it is recommended that owners provide cats with sufficient drinking water, and can add an appropriate amount of honey water to the water to smooth the gastrointestinal tract and assist in the discharge of feces. At the same time, you can also feed an appropriate amount of probiotics to promote gastrointestinal activity and thus assist defecation. If the cat still has difficulty defecating and screams when defecating, it is recommended to use Kaiselu for treatment.

2. Foreign body obstruction

If a cat accidentally eats a bone or something with a higher hardness, the foreign object will block the intestines and cause the cat’s belly to feel hard to the touch. If the cat likes to eat randomly, then the probability of this is higher. It is recommended that the owner take the cat to the pet hospital for a x-ray examination to confirm the nature of the foreign body. If necessary, surgery may be required to remove the foreign body.

3. Tumor

There is a hard lump in the cat’s belly, which may be a tumor. The owner can press the lump with his hands. If the cat howls, resists, etc., it is most likely caused by a tumor in the body. At this time, the owner needs to take the cat to the pet hospital to take an X-ray examination in time to determine whether the tumor is Benign tumors are still malignant tumors. If it is a benign tumor, it can be surgically removed or not. If it is a malignant tumor, it needs to be treated with tumor removal combined with chemotherapy.
