Question

If youre cat has a bump in his/her tummy and refuses to eat, only meows and lays there, is it caner or not?

Answer 1

A tumor ...maybe

Answer 2

only a vet who has done blood work can tell you if it's cancer but something is definitely wrong. consult a vet immediately.  

Answer 3

it is very likely. You may want to visit a vet to confirm this, but it can be expensive just to have it confirmed. Personally I would base my decisions on the cats age. If your cat is old, i would let the vet check him over but i would not pay for lengthy investigations and put him through painful treatment i would keep him comfy & happy for as long as i could...

Answer 4

it could be cancer, or it could be that the cat ate something of yours. you should get it to the vet and...possibly ask for an x-ray. i think tumors can be seen on an x-ray.

Answer 5

It could be a hernia or something more complicated.  Only your vet can tell for sure. Get the cat in for x-rays and blood work asap!

Answer 6

It definitely sounds like a Tumor, you should have your vet check it out to see if it is cancerous or a danger to your cat's life or not and whether they can remove it.  My cat got one and got to a point where she couldn't even get up to walk anymore and was eventually put to sleep.

Answer 7

I would be afraid they might have an obstruction of somekind in their intestine or maybe a hernia. If the cat isn't eating you should take it to a vet right away. That is never a good sign.
