A cat with ascites will look like she is pregnant, with a wide and wide belly to the naked eye. However, there is a big difference between cat ascites as a disease and normal pregnancy: cats with ascites will have no energy and will not like to drink water. There is no change in the cat's nipples after eating, and the cat's nipples are soft to the touch. If you feel carefully, you will hear the sound of water flowing in the belly.
