Answer
Hello Charles and thank you for taking your time to ask about your little one on AllExperts!

Since your little girl seems to have lost her appetite and has something semi-hard you can feel, I would say your best bet is to run her into your Vet's office for a small check up to make sure this "bump/lump" isn't anything more than some new kitties!  They can also do a pregnancy test to help understand if she isn't eating due to this, or for another reason.  Did you know they can also spay her even if she was "taken" out back by that boy cat - so to speak :-)

So after the Vet gives you the reason she isn't eating like she was before - I'd be interested in this too!, then you may have to make a decision on whether to bring more kittens into the population, or have your wee girl spayed.

Indoor spayed and/or neutered pets LIVE LONGER and Healthier lives!  Even if you chose to let her out, being spayed she is the least likely to be in a fight - Spayed and/or neutered animals do not typically get into fights with other cats (great for keeping a check on potential FIVL or FIV!), less likely to roam very far and are the least likely targets for ferals to attack.

Please let me know what your Vet says about her semi-hard lump (pregnant or not), and why your sweet girl isn't eating as much ok?

Kudo's to you for being a GREAT kitty dad!
